Beck videos hit the big screen! another article via Pitchforkmedia.com:
While it may pain some of you aging hipsters to admit it, Beck has been around for a while now. And like most artists who've been around a while and also happen to be worth a damn, he's being given the retrospective treatment. But this isn't your run-of-the-mill career CD or DVD compilation. No sir, Beck likes to do things with a little panache. That's partly why he has been chosen by the Res Media Group to be the subject of the maiden installment of their Artist Retrospective Program. But what does this auspicious honor mean? As part of their annual Resfest, a selection of Beck's videos will be given proper theater screenings at the four first stops on their art and culture tour. The dates and locations are below:
09-17 New York, NY - Tribeca Performing Arts 09-24 San Francisco, CA - Palace of Fine Arts 10-01 Los Angeles, CA - Egyptian Theater 10-08 Chicago, IL - Museum of Contemporary Art The featured videos come from a veritable murderer's row of directors, including Spike Jonze ("Guess I'm Doing Fine"), Mark Romanek ("Devil's Haircut"), Michel Gondry ("Dead Weight"), and even Mr. Hansen himself ("New Pollution”, “Sexx Laws vers. 2”). We've done some math and determined that you'd have to watch MTV2 non-stop, for 16 consecutive months to see all of these videos on TV, so yeah, this is a pretty sweet deal. The tribute will feature 18 music videos in all, and will go in more or less chronological order: "Loser" "Where It's At" "Devil's Haircut" "New Pollution" "Jackass" "Dead Weight" "Sexx Laws vers. 2" "Mixed Bizness" "Lost Cause" "Guess I'm Doing Fine" "Little One" "Round the Bend" "Black Tambourine" "Ghettochip Malfunction" "E-Pro" "Gameboy/Homeboy (Guero)" "Bad Cartridge (e-pro)" "Girl"  | |

I just can't imagine watching a bunch of music videos without getting bored. In the end, they're just music videos. Definitely not worth a theatre viewing. The world is a comedy for those who think and a tragedy for those who feel.

They were that many videos for "Sea Change"? I thought there was only one for "Lost Cause". | |

i remember sitting through the whole 'best of blur' dvd and having a great time...i love watching music videos if they're well done. i think that's the point of showing beck's clips in a museum. they can hold up through a screening like this. | |

I can also tell you guy's he has a new concert film on the way. I was at the taping in SF last month & it was great. The acoustic segment alone was incredible. I don't have a release date but I'm hoping by years end this will be out. |

The Chicago showing sounds cool. The Palace of Fine Arts is just ok. I would go, but I have tickets to Green Day that night, which I didn't want to go to because it's in a ballpark, but then they released GA field level tickets, and one thing led to another, and now I can't go see Beckapalooza.  a psychotic is someone who just figured out what's going on | |
