Line Out - Comments on Silent But Deadly http://lineout.thestranger.com/2008/05/silent_but_deadly The successful "stealthy" release of the last Raconteurs album has, in typical music industry fashion, been co-opted by people who have no idea what they're doing. Apparently, the next Beck album will be "stealthily" released in the next month...

One thing we don't need any more of is Neil Diamonds. One is more than enough, thanks very much, and I'm glad to see that this one is just about worn to the bone.

Personally, what I always wanted was for Beck to become the next Elvis Costello - smart, angry jazz inflected hip hop beats with indecipherable but still somehow brilliant lyrics. What we REALLY need is another "Peace, Love & Understanding."
