Beck Reissuing One Foot in the Grave Album

Beck’s precursor to the freak-folk revival of the early 2000s, the classic One Foot in the Grave album, is set to be rereleased on April 14. The album has been out of print for a while and was originally released on K Records. Interscope will be releasing this revamped version of the record, which will include plenty of additional material that didn’t make the original track listing.

It’s odd to hear Beck at this stage of his career, before all the rumblings about Scientology, conflicts with tour mates and a creative slump that has lasted for most of this decade. One Foot in the Grave is one of Beck’s best albums (along with Mellow Gold and Mutations ) and features contributions from K Records figurehead Calvin Johnson, Sam Jayne from Love as Laughter and Scott Plouf from Built to Spill. It’s a relaxed and playful album that raises more than a few smiles; the duet with Johnson, “I Get Lonesome,” is one of the best song’s of Beck’s career.

“I’ve actually been working on this [reissue] for the past two or three years,” Beck told Japanese newspaper Daily Yomiuri . “[On] the original tapes there were an extra maybe 30 songs that weren’t on the record and I picked the best… and added them on there, so it’s got about a little over a dozen extra tracks that no one’s heard before.”[ Rolling Stone ]

Why don't you debate yourself, you seem to already be pretty set in your decision. Most people have researched enough info to know FOR THEMSELVES that scientology, which has nothing to do with science, is in fact a shiny expensive CULT. So go masterbate to something else besides your own need to stand on a soap box. This debate is already old, where have you been? Even my grandmother knows about the secret Xenu creation theory on OT3. And at least Christians don't make the Genesis creation story top secret and force you pay out your ass to read it. No, it's free and they'll talk about it all day long. It's fundamental. So the cats out of the bag and scientology's numbers have plumeted since no one wants to pay the hundreds of thousands of dollars to learn this crap. No more mystery equals no more "raw meat". Also, on OT8 Hubbard's secret revealed is that you mocked up your own past lives. There, I just saved you a ton of money.
p.s. There's absolutely nothing wrong with Christianity. It doesn't help your arguement being so general and snarky about it. But we all know what Hubbard says abou Jesus, that he's just an implant, so I know where your getting your info from. It just doesn't help your side when your already invalidating people's religion when you want to debate why you think yours is better. It just makes you look like a troll. Oh and btw, Beck lost his touch when he started with that sect and the proof is in his art, or lack thereof.
