Factoids, Extras & Eggs:
1. With Beck's major label smash success debut, it also led to his iconic status as the "slacker" representative of the alternative rock scene. Critics panned him as a one-hit wonder. Audiences' (especially at Lollapalooza) familiarity with "Loser," and their general disinterest in his other work only reinforced his image as a one-hit wonder.

2. Totally Confused is 1 of the 8 tracks released on the not-so-commercially available album, "B Side Collection - Stray Blues."
3. From here, back into the late eighties there are lots of tracks Beck made. Where they truely reside is debatable, and probably only really known to Beck. So, unless there is a deluxe release, who knows! If anything, at least the first 12 Misc tracks should be.
