Yes, that's right, Beck will preview five songs off his upcoming record, 'Guero,' on FOX's teen melodrama The O.C. The songs will be played in the show nearly three weeks before the CD is released. 'Guero' was originally scheduled to be in stores last October, but faced delays until this March in order to give the artist more time to polish up the production. In an ironic twist of fate, Beck's label, Interscope/Geffen, may move up the release date due to the fact that a few songs from the disc have already made their way into cyberspace via the Internet. Hm, now I wonder just who could be behind leaking those tracks....
The five songs selected for March 10th episode of The O.C. include the album's lead single, 'E-Pro,' along witih 'Scarecrow,' 'Missing,' 'Girl,' 'Que Onda Guero.' A cover of Daniel Johnson's 'True Love Will Find You in the End' will also be featured on the episode, as well as will be included on the fourth edition of the The O.C.'s soundtrack series (at least, that's what Billboard says).
Beck's 'Guero' is scheduled to hit stores March 28th.

I mean they're good, they're just not THAT good.
Also I have only watched the OC with my brother a couple of times, but the last TV listing I saw for it was something like 'Seth goes to see the Killers'. So I don't believe this particular fictional character has good taste.

Kurt Cobain is soo NOT overrated, though! I think the guy was a genius. This grunge pioneer, unlike Mr. Oberst, had more powerful, controlled vocals. He rocked Nirvana. May he rest in peace...
As for Beck, which is probably who I should have been discussing all this time, I think he's a talented musician aswell. I'm sorry to hear that he's whoring himself out on a crap primetime teen soap, as I was disappointed at the Killers and Rooney for lending their greatness to the show.
I must admit, though, that, while I don't appreciate Fox's poor attempts at reliving the ratings they enjoyed with Beverly Hills 90210 by creating yet another teen drama about sullen rich white kids, The O.C. seems to feature pretty good music that MTV neglects, turning the lot of pathetic teens who actually watch onto indie acts. I respect that!

I think Beck is more than goddam cool enough to do what the hell he likes. I've never seen the O.C. but having your songs played on a popular TV show is hardly selling your soul to McDonalds or Nestle. Why shouldn't his songs be heard by a new audience? I'd love the whole World to hear Sea Change - it's so beautiful.
