Saturday Night Live is one of those traditions I can't seem to kill. Even when it's terrible I watch. Week before last it was just that. Last Saturday it was more good than bad but still not great. But the highlight was definitely Beck. He put on two of the best performances I have seen on SNL.
Both performance featured a replica set of the music stage with marrionettes for each member of Beck's band doing whatever the real members were doing. Classic. The second featured Beck on a small guitar with the rest of his band playing dinnerware.
I have found neither performance on YouTube or the like. However, Borat's hilarious intro (which reminded me of early SNLs with special guests like Andy Kauffman or Penn & Teller) is available here. Schwing?

Funny ... I thought Beck's performances were the worst part of the show. The first song didn't sound like it should take six guys to make, and the second was wildly disjointed. I guess it takes all kinds, but I could have done without (and in fact stumbled across your webpage looking for reviews of what people thought, whether SNL was a typical Beck performance, because I'd always heard he was good and was very surprised at how bad I thought he was on the show).
