A Non-Jazz Recommendation

Beck has undertaken a new project for his website: covering some of his favorite albums, one song at a time, and posting the results. His first undertaking is the first Velvet Underground album. Quite a bold choice, but check out the first two tracks.

Sunday Morning:

I'm Waiting for The Man (dig the detuned guitars):

Beck's been posting one track a week, meaning next week we'll see Beck & Co.'s rendition of Heroin, one of my all-time favorite tunes. I can't wait to see what he does with it.
