Beck & Jack White, 'I Just Started Hating Some People Today' -- Listen Now

BeckThird Man Records

When musical mad scientists Beck and Jack White formed an alliance, the universe smiled widely. And so did we, because the pair's new track "I Just Started Hating Some People Today" is freakin' awesome, both in its title and its swampy bogwash tone.

Featuring White on skins and "punk vocal," Beck snarls through a down-home beat filled with jealous fuzz bass while alluding to his Blue Series B-side "Blue Randy." Also, the tune ends with a jazzy little appearance by White's ex-wife Karen Elson.

So what are you waiting for? Listen to the song below! Skitt-illy Ditt-illy Wahhh!

Because he's not Waylon Jennings. He's Beck. They're different artists. Beck has multi-genre experimental, artsy fartsy pieces. I love Beck. Beck loves country and it's obvious so shut the **** up if you can't accept an artist complimenting another artist. Waylon Jennings' is one of the best, but to say Beck isn't established by now is completely inane. It's been 20 years since 'Loser' and 'Mellow Gold' came out. While that doesn't outshine Jennings' it certainly isn't that able to be dismissed. Come on.

Mellow gold was pure folk trash and nearly charted the early 90's with Loser,
Mountain Dew Rock and Fuckin With My Head.

Odelay was one of the most successful alt rock records of the 90's! It has fuckin' Devil's Haircut, Where It's At, Sissyneck and New Pollution.

Mutations didn't really chart but it was a fantastic blues record with songs like Cold Brains, Bottle of Blues and Nobody's Fault (but my own).

Midnight Vultures was a pure ******* tongue in cheek club record with overtly sexual songs about mixing business with leather.

Sea Change is one of the most depressing, fantastic records of all time with a minimalist sound and vacant atmosphere of feeling 'hollow' after say a death or breakup.

Guero was a return to the Odelay days with the same producers and mixed with hispanic influences and techno, songs you could cite would be E-Pro, Girl, Hell Yes and Go it alone.

The Information is a hip hop acoustic record that wasn't great but showed he could at least innovate and try to produce something interesting. But Nausea, Cellphone's Dead and I Think I'm in Love were actually really good songs.

Modern Guilt was done with DJ Dangermouse (Gnarls Barkley) and created a retro pop record.

So I'm sooooooo sorry if two of the greatest blues musicians (excluding brothers like the Black Keys, Two Gallants, etc) from this current generation of musicians.

If you don't like him, cool, but don't be an internet douchebag contrarian.

why would I listen to this when Waylon Jennings has records that exist?
