How do people find this stuff out? Do you go looking for his religious affiliation or is there a site that "outs" people or something? How utterly ridiculous. Why the hell do you care??
The fact of Beck's being a Scientologist has been leaking into public awareness for the last year or so, from what I can tell. I ran across "the news" whilst seeking fan pix of him on the web. (Cuz he's just soooooooo cute :-)
His wife, Marissa Ribisi - sister of the awesome Giovanni Ribisi - is pretty active in Scientology and talks about it at length on her web site.

For me, I was tweaked at first to find out about Beck's Scientological affiliation, but you know, it's way more funner to just forget about it and groove...

I saw something on him about that and it was pretty apparent to me that while he was raised in a scientologist home and met his girlfriend through it (who seems very involved), he doesn't really care about it, it's just there in his background. Got the distinct impression he just doesn't give religion much thought.
Hooray for Beck!
Dross!

LOL. That was my favourite part of that CD too!

Me too. I'd be dancing between floors all the time if it did.

Most other religions haven't made the news, lately, with some kind of illegal or borderline activities. As a recovering ex-catholic I am not crazy about that club, either.
I am working on appreciating art or music without taking other aspect of the artist's life into account. But, then again: Shouldn't art be an expression of your soul and how you relate to the world around you?
Grooving track, by that scientologizer.

I think Beck is an incredible individual. Regrettably, I don't own a cd or anything of his, but I think he is better now than he was 13 years ago. And I thought he was pretty good then too. I should get some of his tunes. He was on Saturday Night Live not to long ago and they were awesome. I was pretty drunk, but absolutely loved it. Not to many can do more with the telephone as an instrument
pretty ho-hum for Beck, does he just sample the same stuff over and over? This would have been original on Midnight Vultures, but just seems re-hashed 4 cd's later
you know what bugs me? the idea that people keep bringing up his religious beliefs. he seems to have done a pretty good job of keeping it to himself and he certainly doesn't preach about it in his music. given that, why should anybody care?

His religious trip is for his own consumption, but Hey, as for what he puts out for public consumption, as an artist, he is undeniably able to come up with, crank out, and lay down groove after groove. And I must say that I do groove to most of what he does.

A little worse for wear, but I'm wearing it well
My new mantra. . .
Got respect for this song. I like the instrumentation and the vocals match the usual Beck theme, but somehow it seems fresh. If he's really a Scientologist, got ZERO respect for that though!
If you had told me, when Mellow Gold came out, that Beck would still be around and rockin' in 2006, I don't think that I would've believed it. I've been really impressed with his development as an artist, though, and I own almost every single album.
Great work!!!
Please, no rap.

Correct. This is a good track, but wait til you hear "Cellphone's Dead" or "Think I'm in Love" or "1000BPM". 
Hmmm. I dig it.
New BECK!
