Say what you will about Beck, even after all these years the man still has it in him to surprise. Beck's new album, his 11th, will arrive at some point this December in sheet music form. That is all.

A collaboration with McSweeney's, Song Reader will run to 108-pages, some 20 songs, each set out in glorious full colour with individual artwork. Buy it for Christmas and then sit around the tree singing such soon-to-be classics as "Don't Act Like Your Heart Isn't Hard" with friends and family. Bless.
