		+	'''Beck Hansen''' (born '''Bek David Campbell'''), better known as '''Beck''', is an American musician, singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist. Beck has been hailed by critics throughout his musical career as being amongst the most creative and idiosyncratic musicians of 1990s and 2000s alternative rock.

		+	Beck and the White Stripes [http://www.brooklynvegan.com/archives/2007/11/beck_the_white.html go way back]:
		+	* '''2002:''' Apparently, Jack really liked the music video for Beck's "Devil's Haircut", and wished to work with its director, Mark Romanek, on the video for "[[Fell in Love with a Girl]]". Their label mistakenly hired the legendary [[Michel Gondry]], which ended up not being a problem, as he directed the video for another Beck song, "Deadweight", which Jack also liked. Gondry went on to direct [[three]] more videos for the band.
		+	* '''2002:''' Jack shows up at a Beck & Smokey Hormel show in August in Ann Arbor, MI to play "Last Fair Deal Gone Down", "Cold Brains", and [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lyYKQ37Pr94 this ditty] from the 1960s spy sitcom ''Get Smart''.
		+	* '''2003:''' Beck appears in the video for "[[The Hardest Button to Button]]".
		+	* '''2003:''' Beck covers "Black Math" twice on his European summer tour in 2003 (August 7 in Urbino, August 21 in Brixton).
		+	* '''2003:''' [[Meg]] shows up in a photo gallery on Beck's website, hanging out with Beck and his band on a boat in Australia. I'm relying on [http://whiskeyclone.net/ Whiskeyclone.net] for this info, as The Wayback Machine has been unable to help me uncover these lost gems.
		+	* '''2005:''' Jack co-writes and plays bass on "[[Go It Alone]]", on Beck's album ''Guero''. Beck was asked about the collaboration, and said Jack walked in, picked up a bass, started playing, and they literally took five minutes to put the song together. He also has said that Jack was in town for a few nights, and they messed around together, creating songs, and this was the idea that "bore fruit."
		+	* '''2005:''' On August 17, Beck made a surprise appearance in the encore of the White Stripes' show at the Greek Theatre in Los Angeles to play his song "Cold Brains" as well as playing bass on "[[The Denial Twist]]". (Get the full show [http://webinfront.net/?p=1370 here].)
		+	* '''2007:''' The White Stripes release "[[Conquest]]", the third single from ''[[Icky Thump (album)\|Icky Thump]]'', as a series of 7" colored vinyl singles. The tracks "[[It's My Fault for Being Famous]]", "[[Honey, We Can't Afford to Look This Cheap]]", and "[[Cash Grab Complications on the Matter]]" appear on the black, white, and red versions of the records, respectively, with the latter featuring an [[Conquest#Conquest (Acoustic Mariachi Version)\|acoustic mariachi version]] of "Conquest".
