This group, composed of Devendra Banhart, both of the dudes of MGMT, legendary producer Nigel Godrich, actor Giovanni Ribisi, members of Little Joy, Wolfmother, and of course Beck himself, is going through choice classic albums and covering all of the tracks. This formula produces a track once a week. The site states, “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.”
So far, The Velvet Underground & Nico has been covered. The project at hand is the misty, clairvoyant, Songs of Leonard Cohen.

What is cooler than a book club? Why, a record club, of course! I'm totally in. And video? Awesome.
Chris, I feel so in the musical know. It's nearly a forgotten feeling... thanks.
