The shizz, you say!

June 21st, 2003

Beck has a weblog [link via Anil's sidebar].
It’s full of incomprehensible but beautiful statements like this one about their show at Wolftrap, right outside DC:

“the show was our best so far. the audience was throwing down, much more raucous than the tour with the lips. we even had people throwing up their hands and representing acid wash daisy dukes. tomorrow I plan to see who will represent some lavender cucumber exfoliating scrub. shizz…if we come any harder somebody might have to bust some apricot hazelnut foot gel.” []

Apparently in Beck’s world “young grungites” are frequently “throwing down” or are “on the punkmetal tip” and “representing” various objects. Lingo that my thirtysomething ass don’t understand aside, there are, as you might expect, some beautiful lyrical gems in his writing, especially when he talks (all to infrequently, though) about songs, songwriting, and performing.
P.S. If you want to get all tricked out with the lingo, try Snoop Dog’s
