In a recent interview with Rolling Stone, Beck has confessed that most of the lyrics on Odelay are complete gibberish - scratch vocals that he never replaced.
Kind of makes you feel warm and fuzzy inside.
I found this link on the wonderful FAWM forums - join us!
I just thought I’d let you guys know a couple of things that I use to make my music, and the places that I get them from.

All of the orchestral sounds on this are part of the Squidfont Orchestral soundfont, available here. Also available on that site are some soundfonts from the nigh-legendary Nando Florestan.

On this track I use the free Mellotron VST called TapeWorm from the frankly wonderful TweakBench. He has a wide range of VST instruments and effects all for free, and a kicking Nintendo naming scheme for some of them.
While this may not seem like a very exhaustive list, these are two very powerful tools and two very useful websites with far more to offer than I’m sure I use them for. Check them out!
Ahoy there. Just to let you know how things are coming along with the new album, there are three songs complete, two written but not completely recorded, and one in the works with Mr Tim Wille - and only ONE of those is an instrumental. Featured on one of the finished tracks and one of the mostly-finished tracks is The Rumored End (MySpace link) (FAWM link). I’m also hoping to get Isaac Quatorze on at least one track - I contributed to one of his FAWM tracks this year. Another collaborator I’m hoping to work with is a very busy man indeed, so I won’t link him just yet in case it doesn’t come to fruition.
The moral, kids? Do FAWM next year. You’ll drop into the most useful and talented music community you could possibly hope to.
Here, have a teaser.
