beck's record club

this has been going on for a while now but beck has created 'record club', a collaboration with HEAPS of different artists which go in and sing an album a day without any prior training etc. he has some pretty awesome names in on this magnifico creation such as feist, devandra, vanwyngarden and more importantly beck himself.


this is off his website:


Record Club is an informal meeting of various musicians to record an album in a day. The album chosen to be reinterpreted is used as a framework. Nothing is rehearsed or arranged ahead of time. A track is put up here once a week. The songs are rough renditions, often first takes that document what happened over the course of a day as opposed to a polished rendering. There is no intention to 'add to' the original work or attempt to recreate the power of the original recording. Only to play music and document what happens


if you havent already check it out on his website its pretty amazing stuff.
