| Guero Buy New: $11.99 |
Now that Beck has effectively exorcised his personal demons with 2002’s hyperconfessional Sea Change, he can get back to the business of being a total fruit loop. We all know what that involves: videogame sound effects, random shouting in Spanish, and rhymes about popsicles and vegetable vans. And that’s just the second track. Guero is like every Beck album condensed into one, a no-holds-barred collision of two-turntables and a microphone with the added bonus of guitars, bossa-nova beats, Jack White, lyrics about spaceships, and dumptrucks full of ideas all fighting to be heard above the ruckus. It’s an exhausting and exhilarating listen with lots of peaks, such as the digitized power ballad “Broken Drum” and handclap-drenched folk freak-out “Farewell Ride,” and more than enough to restore anyone’s faith in Beck as one of the most chaotically inspired songwriters of our time. — Aidin Vaziri

Fashion in the late twentieth century has assumed its rightful place as an art form. It is not surprising that Versace originally studied architecture and Ferre has been called the Frank Lloyd Wright of Italian fashion.
