Beck's record Club (cover Velvet Underground)

One of the cool things to pop up this summer is Beck’s ongoing Record Club. If you have yet to check it out: Basically, Beck invites a bunch of his musician friends over to jam for a day covering an album track-by-track, then releases the results on his website. The first collaboration in the series is 1967’s The Velvet Underground & Nico. 

Beck’s Notes: For this first edition, after lengthy deliberation and coming close to covering Digital Underground’s Sex Packets, all present voted in favor of the ‘other’ Underground’s The Velvet Underground & Nico. Participants included this time around are Nigel Godrich, Joey Waronker, Brian Lebarton, Bram Inscore, Yo, Giovanni Ribisi, Chris Holmes, and from Iceland, special guest Thorunn Magnusdottir, and myself.
Here's a Sample:
