"We've been working on changes to the website for the last few months. We'll be adding new sections as they're ready. The first one to be added is called Record Club, an informal meeting of various people to record an album in a day. An album will be chosen to be reinterpreted and used as a framework. Nothing rehearsed or arranged ahead of time. A track will be uploaded once a week on beck.com as well as through the web sites of those involved with the project."The album they chose was The Velvet Underground and Nico and though I don't listen to The Velvet Underground, the Record Club's version sounds pretty good. I've posted my favorite thus far, but check out all the rest here.

An unrelated tidbit, Kings of Convenience is coming out with a new album soon (thanks for the tip, Brittany). According to Wikipedia it will be out Friday, October 9, though I've never heard of albums released on Fridays.
