Also, someone--very possibly from Bolachas Gratis--posted an mp3 version of the entire record club version of the record, which you can snag here.

Oh, that's right.

New Beck Record Club - Heroin

At laaast, Beck & co. tackle the unparalleled "Heroin," from The Velvet Underground and Nico.

And I just got a bit of a personal bombshell, and I don't have any speakers attached to my computer at the moment, so I'll leave you with it and then find out if it's any good later.

New Beck Record Club - All Tomorrow's Parties

It's been a slow week for music consumption, mostly due to an excess of crap coming out this week despite really none of it being in any way compelling ("Walkabout" is boring, period).

So, yeah, Beck continues on his quest to pound out The Velvet Underground and Nico a week at a time.

Video: New Beck Record Club - 'Venus in Furs'

Though the other sections of the new Beck.com may be kinda lame (I mean, really.), the Record Club keeps chuggin' along with its consistently awesome take on The Velvet Underground and Nico. This week it's the dirgy "Venus in Furs."

From Beck.com:

Possibly one of the first, if not the first goth song ever? For the occasion, we dragged out the sitar, Nigel took a bow to his white SG and Joey played a flute bought on the street in Japan fondly referred to as 'The Dying Goose.'

Beck and friends have posted their next Velvet Underground and Nico track, doing his best to fill Nico's shoes on "Femme Fatale."

The 2nd installment in Beck's increasingly awesome Record Club is the next track from the seminal The Velvet Underground and Nico, the swaggering "I'm Waiting for the Man."

And I promise today will be content-heavy to make up for the summer lazies.
