straight against the mack

I half-wish Beck had followed through on his notion of making a full album-remake of Digital Underground's Sex Packets, an album that I have probably listened to more times than this one mostly because it was the default tape in my girlfriend's car for about a year way back when, and partly because it is unto itself awesome. I don't know if its more awesome than The Velvet Underground & Nico - ok, I do know, it isn't - but I can recite a greater percentage of "The Humpty Dance" than I can "Venus in Furs" if that's a measure of anything.
