Beck Does Percussion

I’m a percussionist, as many of you know, and I always appreciate when unique percussion hits mainstream (the puppets are a bit weird, however). So here’s Beck on SNL (which apparently Hugh Laurie hosted, whose work I’m a huge fan of).

Update: OK, since the above video is dead, thanks to Dan for this new video:

Mrs. H says:

Beck performed that song with cups, plates, utensils when he played Bend.
The puppets were pretty rad.

Jeff says:

I was at the Bend show too. I must agree on Mrs. H’s assessment of the puppets — its just the kind of abstract genius that hooks me every time Beck does anything. A true artist, he is. His new album is the shizz, too.

Jo-Anne says:

Jake..I clicked the video to open..it’s telling me it is no longer available?

Jake says:

That would mean it was pulled from YouTube. Anybody have a mirror for this?

Dan says:
