Two Turntables And A Microphone

Mega late... Beck played three shows at United Palace two weeks ago. Just like what Fort Tryon is to NYC parks, United Palace is one of New York's most stunning venues- but unfortunately, people tend to not take the trip so far uptown. If you've never been to the church/concert venue, put it on your to-do list.

Beck's stage setup was really cool... chunky lights and a backdrop reminiscent of Lite Brite. (Note to self: Buy one off E-Bay.)

We were in complete view of the set list:

And at one point, he and his band stopped playing their instruments, and performed a song electronically on MPCesque equipment. It was bananas.

Although I adored him back in high school, his live show was a bit of a snoozefest. But then again, I'm not a super-duper fan either. I am, however, a super-duper fan of his opening act. That's right folks, MGMT opened for him, and it was a very good look for them.

Andrew, the lead singer, is so dreamy!

Here they are, performing "Weekend Wars":

And my favorite song of the year, "Electric Feel":

BTW- Guess who's on the cover of November's SPIN?

They're clearly 

"Where It's At."
