For our 4th round pick, The Slippery Grooves choose, in the 2003-2005 category,
Beck "Guero" (Deluxe edition)



-from Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guero
Guero is the sixth major-label studio album by Beck, first released in March 2005. It debuted on Billboard's Top 200 Album chart at #2 (where it went gold), and in the UK at #15 (where it went silver). To date, this is Beck's highest charting CD. It is seen by many reviewers as a return to the style of Odelay, his 1996 album, mainly because this album, like Odelay, utilizes production duo the Dust Brothers. It also recalls Mutations in places with its Brazilian influences. "E-Pro" was the album's first single, with "Girl" as the follow-up. As of July 2008, Guero has sold 868,000 copies in the United States.[1]

Jack White of The White Stripes plays bass on "Go It Alone". Money Mark, solo artist and keyboardist for the Beastie Boys, plays the organ on "Earthquake Weather". Petra Haden, formerly of that dog and The Rentals, provides an intricate backing vocal track for "Rental Car". Christina Ricci provides the cameo voice in "Hell Yes".


Güero (pron. IPA ['wero] sounds like "Wher-roh" in English) is a Mexican slang term in Spanish for a pale-skinned or blonde-haired person. Beck cites having been referred to as a "guero" throughout his childhood, lending the title of the album and the track "Qué Onda Guero [sic]". (In Mexican slang, ¿Qué onda güero? means "what's up, blond boy?" or "hey, white boy". A literal translation is "what's the wave, white boy?" which is analogous in English to "what's happening?" See List of Chicano Caló words and expressions)


Beck released an album of Guero remixes called Guerolito later in 2005.


The song "Black Tambourine" was featured in the David Lynch film Inland Empire.


The song "Farewell Ride" was featured in FX trailers promoting the final season of The Shield.
