Defriended (2 versions)
Type: Single
 
     
   
 "Defriended" first appeared on a random Youtube upload by an anonymous user.

Beck responded a week later by uploading the song to his Youtube account (in better sound quality). It was then announced to Rolling Stone that it was to be a standalone single.

A few weeks after that, "Defriended" was made available on various online download music sites (iTunes, Amazon, Juno, etc.).

It was then released as 12" vinyl single, the first in a series of 3.

The artwork on the video (and vinyl) is a painting called About A Girl by Karin Mamma Andersson.
