Suzie will add it hopefully :thumb_yello:

Yeah, he loves his music! I think he even met him at the gig in Lisbon 2008!

 

I think he did! You could see him on the sides of the stage enjoying the music, moving around:naughty:

Beck is already mentioned by Suzie

This is where he talks about him:

 

 

"I’ve been bumping into some pretty incredible people at the festivals and was lucky enough to watch Beck play in Lisbon on Thursday. What a talented guy."

Many of you have been asking about the music I play in my video blogs. Some songs you will have heard being played before my gigs but others are artists I have discovered over the past year or two. I’ll leave you with some links below and some of their best videos to occupy your weekend. Enjoy!

WHAT I’M LOOKING AT TODAY; MARCEL DZAMA

If I was to get a tattoo it would probably be a character by Marcel Dzama. Some of you may already know of him from his album cover for Beck’s Guerro.*

"when I was recording the album in Los Angeles, Beck, who I’m a huge fan of, just kind of showed up and I just didn’t recognise who he was for the first 25 minutes, because he had such a big beard on and I wasn’t used to that."

 

From the Bizarre Podcast http://www.mikafanclub.com/forums/showthread.php?t=291&highlight=Bizarre+Podcast

"…but if you had to work with anybody (dead or alive) who would it be?

 

I really would love to work with somebody like Beck. I relate to him in a way…he’s like a one man band, that circus ring master thing that he does, that I kind of relate to as a solo artist, there’s not many people that I can look at and think, I relate to them.

 

If it wasn’t Beck it would be Kurt Weill, I’d just like to have tea with him, or Harry Nilsson, I’d like to have a whiskey with him, I don’t think tea was ever on the books with him!"

From mikamyspace:

 

Is similar to:

 

"Think Beck via Queen and Elton John and a touch of Rufus W. Would love to blab about Harry Nillson but I fear no one will know what I'm talking about... but if you do, you'll know what I mean."

".....I write at the piano, but I wanna make huge-sounding pop records. That's really my thing, and to get inspiration for that you go back to the ‘70s and the ‘80s, because that's the only time people were really doing that, it's disappeared apart from someone like Beck, I can't really think of many others. Hardly anyone actually."

Madeleine Peyroux. She was just on Jools Holland and I already knew her from a Mika mention from a long time ago.

 

When did he say that? I have just listened into a couple of her songs and I believe you, but it would be good to know what he said exactly...

 

Anyway, added Madeleine Peyroux as well as Gwen Stefani following latest tweet
