These are two musical ideas I had this weekend that I wanted to capture on film. The first is a melody I have been playing for a few weeks now, except with alot of delay. The second idea I just woke up with on Saturday morning and wanted to play. I hope you enjoy.
I have an issue that's been bugging me for a year or two now, who put the Bible together? No one tells the story of the "divinely inspired" editing crew that chose what was in the BIble. Or what wasn't in the Bible. I'll give anyone that there's bound to be a few people in the Bible that knew what was going on. On a different plane then the regular dummies. But to say they all knew that their stories would be included in a encyclopedia of sorts, many years after they died never happened. No one writing any story in the Bible knew they would be included in the Bible years later. Maybe Moses, he wrote more than 1 book (first 5). Anyways, I'm sure there were councils involved but that only makes it worse. I can't agree that a editorial council, many hundred years later, knew what was supposed to be put together. I can't say that ANY editorial staff anywhere was ever divinely inspired. So, I have moral dilemnas wondering who put all these stories together (definitely human, no gods) and for what purpose. Just something always bugging me. Even the most Bible-belt believers don't know this answer, even though they'd stake their lives on the "good book". But it's important. Thought you all needed to think about it.
This is Beck recording with Nigel Godrich. Nigel is THE BEST recording engineer currently on the market. Seriously. He is phenomenal. He can get Radiohead, Paul McCartney, Beck, and Air all happening. He supposedly can get the best out of the live performance of any artist. He can tape any instrument to sound like the guy was playing right next to you. Completely honest, yet with Beck effected. And he can records artists SOOOOOO well. This is Beck for sure playing with Nigel taping. I'm not sure where this came from, but Nigel and Beck are trying to record "the shit" from the SEA CHANGE album. Great.
