In other Beck news...I've been hearing about Beck doing covers of entire albums for awhile now. Inviting a bunch of musician friends over and they record the whole album in one day with no pre-rehearsal. He recently did a great cover of Green Light from the awesome EVOL Sonic Youth album (actually this one will always be thought of as a cassette tape for me 'cuz that's how I bought it when it first came out and I still listen the-hell-outta that original copy today). Apparently that's how it was for Beck too, cuz he's putting out his rendition of the entire EVOL album - to be available on cassette only. coolness.
In the meantime, he's releasing his rendition of the whole VU/Nico album, Andy Warhol's Banana, song-by-song on his website with a lil' video of each session. Here's the first 2 songs (seems like a new one pops up every week or so, I'll try to keep throwing them up so they're easily collected for yer aural pleasure).
