Check out that neckbeard! That is Beck’s real neck, people!
I love him. (Proof).
So this has me crossing my fingers and toes and labia majora. (metaphorically, of course… I am a lady of many talents, but typing with my fingers crossed is not one of the- ohmygod try doing it, I just did and it’s super fun).
Also, this video! Do you know what it is? This is a fucking cover of Nico’s “Sunday Morning” as per recorded in one day by Beck’s new project, Record Club. What is Record Club, you ask? Well maybe you should have fucking clicked through to the website. It’s just beck.com, people, it’s kind of obvious. But since I’m such a goddam giver and such a phenom at the copy-paste, I’ll do just that for you below:
[Record Club is] an informal meeting of various people to record an album in a day. An album will be chosen to be reinterpreted and used as a framework. Nothing rehearsed or arranged ahead of time. A track will be uploaded once a week on beck.com as well as through the web sites of those involved in the project.
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. Participants included this time around are Nigel Godrich, Joey Waronker, Brian Lebarton, Bram Inscore, Yo, Giovanni Ribisi, Chris Holmes and from iceland, special guest Thorunn Magnusdottir, and myself.
Myself means Beck, not me. But that would be pretty cool!
