yeah, I dig this song too. Alto, for my money I still think his best song is a toss-up between “Beercan” or “Sissyneck” (love that whistling that kicks off the song). ODELAY still holds up – still the best thing he’s ever done, IMO.

Depending on my mood, my favorite Beck is either MUTATIONS or SEA CHANGE. I tend to like sad Beck best.

Yeah, I like mellow melancholy or wistful Beck the best.
