3:01 Pick Me Up: Beck Beercan

Let’s face it: 3 p.m. is the cruelest time of the workday. The morning latte has worn off, and the post-lunch crash has you staggering around like an extra from a George A. Romero flick. That’s why, each weekday at 3:01 p.m., we present you with a video hand-picked to kick-start your heart.

The summer that Beck's Mellow Gold came out, my brother had the cassette tape, and I stole it and played it every single day, all day, all summer. To this day, when the weather starts getting warmer, I think of that album and the magical time after childhood, but before summer jobs.

Thanks Christopher, for not giving enough of a shit to take it back.
