...lady," Beck isn't making fun of rap, or even of people who shop at Old Navy. He knows all about this, and he isn't afraid to mimic it. And he hopes all the "Hollywood freaks," "b-boys," girls who "look so Israeli" and whom he saw "at JC Penney" are as cool as he is. All the same, the Kraftwerk-esque Beck who chants "We like the girls/With the cellophane chests" has made a definite turn from grungy regurgitation to playful appropriation, and if it makes Midnite Vultures better than any of his previous albums, it also makes...
...film's [sex scenes] as truly as the book does. When I see sex scenes between Hollywood actors, they're always terribly violent. They're always shoving each other's head against the wall, or ripping up a table full of crockery and throwing the girl down.

I've seen the first three and "Mystere" is definitely my favorite--but that, perhaps, is because it was the first one I saw. Performed with live music (a combination of techno and opera), each show is an apocalyptic circus of startling imagination. Everything is designed to be an illusion--to take you in one direction and then make you refigure (the best example I can think of in "O" has a clown drifting on a raft...
...dining hall. Cliques form in different corners--secretaries over here, a small group of partners towards the back, and two big tables of analysts and associates. The stock talk continues: "Did you see Zamba? Good call, man." A group gathers around Shemmer, who's animatedly describing the movie he saw last weekend...
