File this under best news ever. Beck has new material and it’s heavy and dirty with an unmistakable southern twang - just the way we like him best. His aptly titled track “Bad Blood” appears on the True Blood Vol. 2 soundtrack. Other highlights include a Lucinda Williams and Elvis Costello track and a kooky little ditty by Eels. It’s like Halloween and Christmas arrived early this year. Click on the link to live stream the complete album.
