It's an inescapable, [...]
Beck's Record Club is at it again! INXS was the first concert I attended, with my sister , when I was 12. I will always remember that evening with great fondness. INXS was a staple in my young life. Beck's tribute to the now classic, 1986 Kick is pretty freaking awesome. This time, Beck brings together [...]
So it's been three months and ten days since I've written here. After that last "Alive and Kicking" post, I bet some of you thought Ol' Swap would be back in the saddle with the posts here... but NOPE. DIDN'T HAPPEN. Why, Swap? WHY??? Well, I'll tell you... because some stranger went through my stuff (including my GOOD underwear) and stole some of that said stuff. Yes, I was robbed. And THIS time, it wasn't of a Grammy, Oscar, or Emmy... it was of my computer, digital camera, video camera, and some other [...]
This weekend my wife got in a fight with her best friend over text message. What was the fight about?...one of them didn't understand what the other said in her text. Then she, misinterpreted it...and instead of calling and figuring it all out...they preceded to snap back-and-forth at each other in text over their cellphones, whipping each other into a frenzy. At one point, my wife said she
Beck's Record Club continues to present us regular folk with an internal conundrum. On one hand, we're always voraciously hunting down some new awesomeness with which to fill our ears. The first two songs from his INXS Kick session with Liars, St. Vincent and Os Mutantes do just that by turning hyperactive 80s hits into Tropicalia-tinged night jams. But when we're hit with the stark reality that these dudes just, oh, you know, listened to an album together and gave refreshing rewrite to some classics in just one day, it's hard not to feel worth our salt. So [...]
Record Club: INXS "Guns In The Sky" from Beck Hansen on Vimeo . All of Beck's Record Club covers thus far have made sense as far as Beck's probable influences go, but now that he's hooked up with St. Vincent, members of Liars, and members of Os Mutantes, I'm much more intrigued. This random assortment of musicians is tackling INXS' 1987 mega-platinum album Kick , and this video shows snippets of that album's opening track, "Guns in the Sky." One track a week will be released to mimic the original album's [...]
Been a while since I've put up a Friday Finds, and since I've got too much music on my hands and not enough time to write anything substantive about it (and anyway most people just want music, and a lot of it) so here you go. Lots of gems on this one. Caravan - Silver Strings Sonny And The Sunsets - Too Young To Burn Beautiful Swimmers - Swimmers Groove (final) [...]
Whats that? You want more Beck? More from his record club project covering the velvet underground??? Sigh, well......sure!!! This time it's just Beck strumming away on the ol' acoustic, doing his best Lou Reed impression. He does "The Black Angel's Death Song" plenty of justice here. Wouldn't you agree? [mp3] : Beck - The Black Angel's Death Song (The Velvet Underground Cover)
Yeah, you know the deal by now. Beck has covered the next track off of the velvet underground & nico's classic album. Yes, it is awesome as well. This time it is the chil "I'll Be Your Mirror". Beck and friends really nail this cover down. They really captured the atmosphere of the VU's version. This is beautiful!!! [mp3] : Beck - Ill Be Your Mirror (The Velvet Underground Cover)
A few days late, but here's this week's Sirius XMU Download 15 playlist. It's got two tracks that disappeared in April an are back on the liast again. Perhaps Jake was just before his own time. Jake Fogelnest picks 'em and plays 'em, and I scribble down the track names and search for the links online. A match made in heaven. Here's the Download 15 for June 27th . This is our 14th weekly installment! It's a little late as I've been away visiting family in various parts of the country for the [...]
2 (en fait 3) reprises cette semaine, juste du bon. Tout d'abord Beck vient d'annoncer tout recemment qu'il désirait s'offrir quelques jam sessions avec ses potes pour reprendre quelques classiques tout en rendant disponible le fruit dur labeur en téléchargement à qui le veut bien. Pour débuter, il s'attaque au classique des classiques, le toujours magnifique The Velvet Underground & Nicol album. 2 pièces sont déjà ressortis de ces enregistrements, d'autres sont à venir. Beck – Sunday Morning (The Velvet Underground Cover) ( mp3 ) [...]
Beck has started the Beck Record Club with some of his "celebrity" friends, they'll pick a classic album, spend one day recording a cover of the entire thing, and then post it on the internet, one song at a time. Here's the first jump from Velvet Undergrounds' The Velvet Underground & Nico . via WeAllWantSomeone . Beck - "Sunday Morning (Velvet Underground cover)" -mp3
Beck has always been a hardworking fella who constantly puts out quality. He just has the goods. You can always rely on Beck to put out something you can enjoy. Beck is at it again with his creativity this time with a brand new project. It is called his Record Club project . Beck and some of his "celebrity" friends will pick a classic album, spend one day recording a cover of the entire thing, and then post it on the internet, one song at a time. The coolest part is that nothing is rehearsed ahead of [...]
