ALBUM REVIEW
CAPITOL
Beck's latest release echoes earlier album
I cannot begin to describe my excitement when Beck announced he would not only be releasing a new album this year, but he would be releasing two. Six years have passed since Beck's last studio album, 2008's fantastic "Modern Guilt." Besides releasing an album compiled entirely of sheet music, all seemed to be quiet on Beck's front.
Well, the wait is finally over and Beck has released the first of his two albums, "Morning Phase," and the results are slightly underwhelming. Now don't get me wrong, this is by no means a bad album. It just so happens that what it sets out to do is slightly impossible — that is to recapture the magic that was Beck's 2002 masterpiece of heartache "Sea Change."
I've always been weary of bands or artists who attempt to recreate the sounds of one of their most famous albums. To me, those kind of moves
always sound like a cheap cash grab, designed more to appease fans rather than any true artistic decision. However, I do not believe that to be the case here. Beck has always been an artist who has done whatever he wants and that rang true on the original "Sea Change." Fans who had been used to Beck only as the ironic slacker behind albums like "Odelay" were shocked at the stark sincerity and emotions of "Sea Change" when it was first released. There is no other album in Beck's canon quite like it, until now anyway.
in the same vein as Nick Drake, but many of the tracks seem to blend together. That's the biggest problem with "Morning Phase" when compared to "Sea Change" where every track seemed to stand on its own merits. The only exceptions are the lead single "Blue Goodbye," which features Beck's most heartfelt performance to date, the opening track "Morning," which sounds like it could be the second part to "The Golden Age" and "Blackbird Chain" with its beautiful acoustic guitar lines.
The instrumentation on the album is full of lush strings and melancholy vocals much
For those who are fans of the "Sea Change" sound, you will probably enjoy this album. For as much criticism as I have given it, I still think it's well made. I'm just hoping Beck's second album this year is something a little different.

Chanel fashion show crowd loots Paris supermarket set
PARIS — Ever wonder what Keira Knightley and Rihanna do when they just want to go to the grocers like average people?
ASSOCIATED PRESS
They go to Karl Lagerfeld's luxury Chanel supermarket, of course.
Tuesday saw the fashion showman put on a "Chanel Shopping Center" fall-winter show that featured an audacious Walmart-sized reconstruction and saw the celebrity pair applaud vigorously from the front row.
They clearly didn't seem to mind sitting near the canned goods food section.
However, events took a nose dive after the show when the rowdy fashion crowd looted the set.
Here are the highlights of Chanel's incredible ready-to-wear shows in Paris.
The attention to detail was
astounding.
An entire supermarket had been reconstructed across several hundred square meters of Paris' Grand Palais.
that Lagerfeld is fashion's greatest showman.
Guests stared in disbelief at shelves bursting with consumable products especially made for this show: bottles of "Tweed cola," wine branded "Maison Gabrielle," and even grilled bread stamped "CC."
This was clearly a fall-winter show like no other.
Chanel trolleys at the side led on to a tall pile of coconuts next to writing "1 for the price of 2," a fresh fruits and veg section, and large signs advertising Chanel's latest special offers.
Though the set was a universal hit, perhaps Monsieur Lagerfeld later had one regret: telling revelers they could help themselves to the produce.
At the very least, it's proof
Instead of discounts they read "50 percent markup."
"Luxury should be worn like you're going to the supermarket. It's the pop art of the 21st century," said the couturier in high spirits.
It triggered a stealing-frenzy, with security guards having to swoop in as revelers stripped the shelves.
At the exit, fashionistas' bags were actually searched to remove stolen goods.
