Thanks for your comments everyone. I do have copies of “This is my Crew” and “Dirty Dirty” but will be on the prowl for the others.

And yes, E6 is an alternative that I just didn’t think about. Please check out Amy’s piece from awhile back on the Six for a Post-Rockist take:

There are a heap of b-sides to midnight vultures floating around the internet which may satisfy your need (if you don’t already have them).. ‘This is my Crew’, ‘Boyz’, ‘Dirty Dirty’, ‘Midnite Vultures (the song)’, ‘Zatyricon’, ‘Salt in the Wound’ and my favorite ‘Arabian Nights’. His cover of Bowie’s ‘Diamond Dogs’ on the Moulin Rouge soundtrack, is also very MV-style.

It seems HTML is disabled. If you can’t see these links, just swing by youtube and check out 3 or 4 of their videos, which are all hilariously brilliant..

Beck might be the most prolific folktronica artist of all time, and the fact that he never repeats himself but his albums are always the best album of that year is almost awkward.

As for other dance-core and insane-lyric’d bands to czech out, the pixelated doctors reccomend Electric Six. It’s the perfect blend of disco-punk and garage new-wave. Most people will tell you to get their debut, “Fire” but if you’re looking for optimal dance-fun, their sophomore album, “Senior Smoke” is more of a must-shake-it-to. Their third album, “Switzerland” is more of a 3 or 4 song-trick pony, putting all its eggs into the big anthems.

Although its big single might be my favorite E6 song…

I agree whole heartedly. Guero, The Information and Sea Change are awful, I’m not even going to bring up how I was duped into buying the extra dvd that went along with Guero, wait, I just did. I tried and tried to like them but the all omnipotent shittiness just overwhelmed me.

Anyway, here are recommendations that follow Midnight Vultures: !!!, The Virgins, What Made Milwaukee Famous and YACHT. Let me know if you have these or want them.

Appendage: If you want to learn more dance moves youtube !!! live.

Beck is older…don’t know about wiser. But he is smart enough not to record anything he can’t tour! If he can’t dance all over the stage like he used to, or even rock out hard on the guitar, he’s not going to do that kind of music–he’s going to do more sedate stuff.

I’m afraid I have no recommendations for you…just wanted to make the point about Beck. I miss MV-era Beck, too.
