“Record Club” website
There’s an interesting site (also a subsite of Beck‘s) devoted to re-performing favourite albums of current musicians called “Record Club“. What they do is gather together artists from various bands on a day and ask one of them what one of his or her favourite albums is. Then they perform each and every song from that album together spontaneously while they are taped and video-recorded in just one day. The site posts the audio and video of each of the songs from each album “tribute” one by one. They are raw, of course, which is part of the fun. Spontaneous? Yes. So far they have Velvet Underground’s, Nico, Leonard Cohen’s Songs of Leonard Cohen, Skip Spence, and INXS’s Kick.
If I were asked what album they should do next, I’d say John Baldry’s It Ain’t Easy (but I won’t be asked;).
This was new to me.
