I am copying and pasting this blurb from '93 Feelings to give some hindsight:
---
Beck has so much goddamn music out there. He was insanely prolific from 1993 to 1998 which always made me crazy when people referred to him as a slacker. He released close to 100 songs as singles, b-sides, outtakes, compilation tracks, remixes, and live on air sessions. That is on top of releasing the following albums: Golden Feelings, A Western Harvest Field By Moonlight, Stereopathetic Soulmanure, Mellow Gold, One Foot In The Grave, Odelay and Mutations. Seven albums, fifteen singles, eight collaborations, twenty seven compilation tracks, remixes of and from various musicians and a bunch of videos. There's also a missing album he recorded with Jon Spencer's Blues Explosion and an album he made that would have been "a more rock-based follow-up to Mellow Gold…an album that sounds like a Pavement, Sebadoh kind of thing”. All of this in a span of 5 years. That's fucking insane.

I used the b-sides from the following singles: Steve Threw Up, Loser, Pay No Mind (Snoozer), and Beercan. The rest of the songs came from compilations except for "The Way It Seems" which came from Beck himself - if you ordered the deluxe version of One Foot In The Grave. Apparently in the summer of 1994, Beck recorded a follow-up to One Foot In The Grave for K Records. "The Way It Seems" is an acoustic folk song from those sessions. The rest of the album never saw the light of day.
