Beck's Record Club Sure is Nifty
By Lloyd in Rock Music News

Besides being super cool, Beck also makes some good music. Look no further than 2001's Sea Change to hear one of the greatest break up albums ever recorded. Nowadays Beck likes to hang out in his huge studio, and have marathon recording sessions with some of his best friends. (aka other super cool, musician weirdos like himself) Beck chooses a hodge podge of his buddies for each session. When everyone gets to the studio, they decide on a classic album to re-record. So far they have done Leonard Cohen's "Songs of Leonard Cohen," Skip Spence's "Oar," Velvet Underground's "Velvet Underground & Nico," and INXS's "Kick." Beck has brought in a diverse array of musicians including members of Wilco, MGMT, St. Vincent, Liars, Os Mutantes, Devendra Banhart, Nigel Godrich, Giovanni Ribisi, Feist, Jamie Lidell, and a multitude of others.

Watch MGMT and Devendra rock out Leonard Cohen's "Teachers." The bass sounds mmm...mmm...good
