Flying cars, androids, space probes, and...Beck? No doubt about it. Wired Magazine has scheduled its annual NextFest technology fair, taking place in New York from September 27-October 1 this year, and Beck is in charge of its soundtrack.

Next Music serves as the event's kick-off concert, and it will go down September 26 at Irving Plaza. Beck has selected Jamie Lidell (okay!) and Of Montreal (what?) to take the stage.

Last year's event took place in Chicago, was curated by Jeff Tweedy, and featured Joanna Newsom and the Handsome Family.

Tomorrow, here we come!
