More Record Club

Months ago I was gushing about Beck and his venture to hang with friends and record the music of amazing artists. If you have forgotten, his first project was to recreate the magic of The Velvet Underground & Nico. Now, with the help of Devandra Banhart and MGMT, Beck is back at it with his take on The Songs of Leonard Cohen.

That shit descends toward some zen trickster hip-hop infused weirdness. Fun lovin' freaks.

Beck is making waves once more. The incredibly spontaneous and joyful kind.

According to his homepage, The Midnight Vulture will be regularly gathering a bunch of music friends into the studio to recreate classic records in the span of one day. He will be posting them in various locations round the web, so hunt them down and enjoy. Here is a sample of the premiere adventure.

"For this first edition, after lengthy deliberation and coming close to covering Digital Underground's Sex Packets, all present voted in favor of the 'other' Underground's The Velvet Underground & Nico."

Initially I thought it strangely pretentious for Mr. Campbell to mispell his stage name, until I discovered that Bek is indeed the proper spelling of his given name. How exotic!

A very happy and merry Sunday to all! Especially these guys, they will need it. Viva America!
