New Beck Album To Be Released Only As Sheet Music
Quote:
Beck Hansen’s Song Reader, the follow-up to the man’s Grammy-nominated Modern Guilt, will only be available as sheet music

Quote:
The songs here are as unfailingly exciting as you’d expect from their author, but if you want to hear “Do We? We Do,” or “Don’t Act Like Your Heart Isn’t Hard,” bringing them to life depends on you.

So basically if you want to hear the album you'll have to watch a bunch of YouTube videos (that is assuming you are unable to read sheet music).

I thought this was a pretty good comment:

Beck is pretty much the original hipster doofus. This doesn't surprise me.

I'm not familiar with this Beck guy, but he sounds like a real dick.

The level of pretentiousness is staggering.

It's a really bad idea the more I think about it. Are you supposed to get a band together to play the songs or are they supposed to be played by one person? I'm assuming there are lyrics, so if you are a trumpet player how can you play your instrument and sing at the same time? Just release the album normally and let people who are keen provide some cover versions.
EDIT - It's kind of smug too.
Just found this comment that kind of backs up what I'm saying. If you're a fan of the music you'll cover it:
Quote:
I have included and probably always will include Beck as one of my favorite 3 artists. I plan to sit down and learn some of these songs and enjoy doing it. I do not plan to take video or share my attempts.
I think it is an entertaining, interactive way to engage your fans with your music. I would be disappointed if no physical version of Beck’s recordings of the songs were released, though.

Agreed.

Generally, I would consider sheet music (with no music) to be sheet music. So basically, Beck is composing some music and not playing it so calling this an "album" is somewhat incorrect to me.

Why is something like this so upsetting to people when it is coming from Beck? I barely follow him and reading this didn't surprise me at all, plus he was awesome in Futurama. So he can do what he wants.

I think it would be a neat idea to do for maybe one song of an album.

I think it's dumb, but whatever. All that means is I won't buy it. It's not like Beck owes me music. I'm sure he'll play them during his next tour so you can hear them live there.

It's painfully obvious this is a huge marketing gimmick and Beck is going to release a recording of this album in a few months.

Yup. Clearly directed at encouraging a bunch of youtube interpretations of his music by fans. I can see the mashups now.
