The new Beck album is out, haven’t fully absorbed it yet, but here is the official album closer for his 1999 masterpiece Midnite Vultures, the epic Bowie homage Debra. Smoov B would so approve:
I’m a full grown man, but I’m not afraid to cry.
The record might have a few more bowieish moments, but there are many more distint influences.

July 14, 2008 at 10:10 amYeah, those songs have very similar chord progressions and tempos and melodies and all, but Bowie never breaks into falsetto on that song.
So yeah, I’m at least half wrong I guess. But barely just over half wrong.
July 14, 2008 at 10:42 amI absolutely love this song. Good pick.
July 14, 2008 at 12:31 pmThis song always reminded me of Prince. Maybe its just the falsetto.

There is virtually nothing Bowieish about this song.
