Nico's Chelsea Girl album art will most likely call to mind "These Days," the hit single it spawned. However, what most people don't realize is that Nico's rendition, although it is the most recognized version, is actually a cover. Written in 1968 by a wise-beyond-his-years Jackson Browne when he was only 16 (YES, 16!!), it was recorded principally by Nico , Gregg Allman , and Browne himself on separate occasions and in very distinctly different styles. But the song has found new life in the covers by St. Vincent [...]
Annie Clark , quien firma sus discos como St Vincent , visitó México como invitada especial de Blonde Redhead y platicó con Reclu sobre música, religión, cine, su llegada a 4AD , su maravillosa música y, claro, estando en nuestro país, parece que el tema obligado son los tacos (sí, tacos y... mezcal). No te pierdas esta buena plática con una de esas chicas de las que te gustaría que te cantaran al oído.

St. Vincent at SummerStage 25th Anniversary Gala (06/08/10) Photo : Jon Klemm St. Vincent will make her second appearance of the year at SummerStage on Sunday, Aug 1 , but this time rather than the paying homage to the mellow folk masters Simon & Garfunkel, she'll be playing a headlining of set her own material. Also on the bill are the lovely Canadians Basia Bulat (my favorite woodland nymph) and tUnE-YaRdS . While St. Vincent appears [...]
Great set from Annie Clark and Co at this year's Pitchfork Festival. Here she really gets into a hypnotic and frenzied state (about 3:27) she becomes one with her guitar and (not shown) plays with her amp like we've never seen before...however the video camera person must have fallen prey to St Vincent's spell as we miss her amazing ending! (we experienced it via the webcast live ) However this is the only video that captures her amazing performance the way it came off...at least from what we can find so far, anyone have a complete one from beginning to [...]
I was recently sucked into St. Vincent's album, Actor , while cleaning up my iTunes library. Why I never payed much attention to it escapes me. The whole record is a maze of meltingly soothing vocals and orchestras. Oh, and not to mention the lyrics...

This is the last part of Beck's current Record Club series which this time around focused on INXS's 1987 album "Kick". Hopefully it won't be too much longer until his next edition comes out that's supposedly featuring Thurston Moore from Sonic Youth and the band Tortoise. Last week it was "Calling All Nations" and before that we had " Kick , " Mystify ", " Never Tear Us Apart ", " Wild Life ", " Loved One ", " Mediate ", " Need You Tonight ", " Devil Inside ", and " New Sensation" and "Guns In [...]
Perhaps this latest cover of the INXS oeuvre was motivated by the Word Cup. Perhaps not. Either way enjoy Beck's rendition of "Calling All Nations" featuring vocals by Annie Clarke of St. Vincent and Angus Andrews of Liars.

In the penultimate installment for Beck's most recent Record Club Series, he's on guitar and Annie Clark is on vocals. I can't get enough of Annie Clark's voice, on whatever she does, whether it's Sufjan Stevens, St. Vincent, or INXS covers. On previous offerings he's given us " Kick , " Mystify ", " Never Tear Us Apart ", " Wild Life ", " Loved One ", " Mediate ", " Need You Tonight ", " Devil Inside ", and " New Sensation" and "Guns In The Sky ".

You know how when you were a kid and you would think about how cool it is to be a rock star because you could hang out with other rock stars and just jam out? Well, it turns out rocker Beck had the same fantasy growing up. Time Out Chicago reported yesterday that Chicago post-rockers Tortoise joined magical freak-of-nature Beck in his Los Angeles studio for his Record Club project. Beck’s Record Club project is a relaxed studio session where Beck and his coolest rock star friends [...]

The Record Club , el proyecto de Beck con que el que ha recreado discos clásicos como el " The Velvet Underground & Nico" , aterriza en los 80s y presenta su versión de "Kick" , canción original de INXS , aquella banda que tras la muerte (¿suicidio o accidente sexual?) de su cantante, no volvió a despegar, pero sí dejó discos que arrancan las lagrimas de cualquier nostálgico ochentoso. Claro que Beck le dió un tratamiento especial y la canción suena a todo, menos a esos años y para eso, lo ayudaron algunos [...]

This might just be the best performance from Beck's INXS record club jaunt yet, handclaps, yelling, people in a circle, some poeple sitting down and some people standing up. There are even people not even taking part, just being people. This has it all. On previous offerings he's offered us " Mystify ", " Never Tear Us Apart ", " Wild Life ", " Loved One ", " Mediate ", " Need You Tonight ", " Devil Inside ", and " New Sensation" and "Guns In The Sky ".

Yup, here's another one, right on schedule too. As you can tell I'm running out of things to say, unless you want me to just babble for six lines to fill up some space so that the people who don't even read this just skip past it to the video but think to themselves "Man, he's really going into a lot of detail about this video when he doesn't have to but I appreciate the time and effort he's putting into it". Yeah, I bet that's how it goes down. Previous givings have been " Never Tear Us [...]

Time to take a little bit of a different spin for B&B and post some Beck. I recently saw a question that asked a blogger if his site was about hip-hop or just stuff he likes and that is fair question. For B&B, I think we focus predominantly on hip-hop but also try to filter [...]
Annie Clark's the star of this Record Club cut. Fair warning: this one's a bit on the schmaltzy side.
