Beck
"Where It's At"

Released in 1996

Beck is an enigmatic singer-songwriter that started out in the 1990s.  He's the type who can't be pinned down to a genre because he changes genres on nearly every album.  With that said I've loved some of his work and didn't much care for other parts, but I admire him for always trying to break new boundaries.

One of my favorite moments as a writer was having a blurb about my first book appear in Mojo Magazine on the same page as a blurb about an upcoming Beck concert in London.
