Retro-funk/rap/country/rock loser guru Beck has hit #4 on the US album charts after selling 85,000 copies of his new record Modern Guilt in the first week of its release.

The Modern Guilt vinyl release will be one of a kind too…just like Beck! Awwwww. Check it:

The vinyl edition of Modern Guilt, in stores July 22, includes download codes for high-fidelity (320 kbps) MP3s produced from a playback of the vinyl master. In other words, the first MP3 starts with a needle drop, and the ten MP3s will sound like a vinyl playback. Leave it to Beck to invent the first mobile turntable.

Personally, I liked the introspective, contemplative Beck we heard on Sea Change over the super robot white-boy rapper of every other album he’s produced. But either way, he’s still a cultural phenomenon. Fucker…
