Philly Artists Perform Beck Hansen’s Song Reader at WCL Jan. 8

OK, so I know that the word “hipster” has lost all its meaning in our culture by now. However, if someone out there wanted to steal Jeff Foxworthy’s million dollar idea and do a comedy standup routine using the line “You know your hipster…”, I’m pretty confident that “if you release your new album only on sheet music” would be a fitting punchline to complete that sentence. Well, it is Beck, who is pretentious enough to make the coolest dudes in music, The Flaming Lips, hate him after touring as his backing band. And don’t get me started on the whole weirdo Scientology shit! But he is a talented musician so it might be worth swinging by World Café Live tonight to hear some local favorites like Levee Drivers, Sean Hoots, Johnny Showcase, Rich Mystics, Juston Stens, and a whole slew of others interpret Beck Hansen’s latest project, Song Reader. World Café Live, 3025 Walnut St., 8pm, $12, All Ages – Q.D Tran
