Warning: contains the word "fuck", stark depictions of inhalant abuse, and piping hot banjo rolls. post:music.metafilter.com,2008:site.1276 Tue, 10 Jul 2007 18:49:05 -0800 erikgrande beck bluegrass banjo http://music.metafilter.com/1276/Fume-Beck#6084 Recorded sometime in the last year. Shouts to Uncle J for banjo & bass, Hotbeard for guitar & drum. Rumor has it Beck wrote the original after reading a newspaper article about two kids that died trying to get high off nitrous in a pickup truck. And, to anybody familiar with the original, I apologize for the absence of the psycho-rockout end. Maybe we can tack that on if there's any interest. comment:music.metafilter.com,2008:site.1276-6084 Tue, 10 Jul 2007 18:54:05 -0800 erikgrande http://music.metafilter.com/1276/Fume-Beck#6085 It's kind of eerie how much you sound like Beck at times in this song. Fantastic. comment:music.metafilter.com,2008:site.1276-6085 Tue, 10 Jul 2007 19:01:43 -0800 ORthey http://music.metafilter.com/1276/Fume-Beck#6087 a great rendition of a classic tune. i had a friend in college who didn't buy the loser single (and i guess somehow couldn't find it) and paid a penance by buying every other beck single for years so he wouldn't repeat his mistake. when he got married i made him a cd with, like, 20 versions of fume on it. comment:music.metafilter.com,2008:site.1276-6087 Tue, 10 Jul 2007 19:21:06 -0800 snofoam http://music.metafilter.com/1276/Fume-Beck#6088 Ha. I'd like to hear those. And I thought every sane person bought every Beck single. comment:music.metafilter.com,2008:site.1276-6088 Tue, 10 Jul 2007 19:58:35 -0800 erikgrande http://music.metafilter.com/1276/Fume-Beck#6172 I have no Beck singles and may have never heard this song before. It's great! comment:music.metafilter.com,2008:site.1276-6172 Thu, 19 Jul 2007 19:01:32 -0800 jessamyn
