Morning Becomes Eclectic playlist, August 1, 2023

Hosted by and

Today’s edition of MBE is going above and beyond to deliver what can best be described as “Silver Lake dad vibes.” We’ve cued up a little something from Steely Dan’s seminal 1977 work Aja; indie-dad-rock kings Wilco with “Evicted” ahead of their forthcoming 13th album Cousin; and Beck’s classic “Loser” in honor of 30 years of Beck performing Live From: KCRW — his very first session on July 23, 1993. Check out the full set, and Richard Crespin’s wild visualizer for “Loser” as performed live on MBE here
