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.

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.

So that Beck Hansen guy has been tinkering with his web site recently, and the first new feature to appear is a totally awesome idea he's calling the Record Club.

From Beck's site:

"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 with the project."

To start things off on an appropriately sacrilegious note, Beck and some friends--including legendary producer Nigel Godrich and an Icelandic guy named Thorunn Magnusdottir--decided to take on the timeless The Velvet Underground and Nico.

"After lengthy deliberation and coming close to covering Digital Underground's Sex Packets, all present voted in favor of the 'other' Underground..."
