Beck's starting the project off with his version of the Velvet Underground's The Velvet Underground and Nico, and today he posted the first song from the project, perennial mixtape staple "Sunday Morning". You can hear it now, complete with intentionally grainy footage of the studio session, on Beck's website. http://pitchfork.com/news/35667-beck-debuts-record-club-with-the-velvet-unde rgrounds-sunday-morning/ my blog is "Yer Blog" http://fab4yerblog.blogspot.com/ http://robotsarestealingmyluggage.blogspot.com/ **************Download the AOL Classifieds Toolbar for local deals at your fingertips.

He asked if there were any artists that Robyn wished people would discover through him (getting past the usual Lennon/Dylan/Barrett litany) and Robyn mentioned Jim Morrison. I sure didn't expect that, but I guess there are plenty of leaps of image in the Doors songs (actors out on loan and brains squirming like toads and so on).

That kind of surprised me too -- I like the Doors a lot but yes I know, a lot of people think their music is silly, and I guess my assumption going in would hae been that RH was one of those people. But the band was totally into this song, they put as much soul into it as into "Brenda's Iron Sledge" (which I sort of think it has a lot in common with).

In an interview with Reuters, he was critical of the concert, saying, "That was not music but I'd say a war of music." He also said he put toilet paper in his ears to block the noise, according to the Post. http://www.examiner.com/x-2082-Beatles-Examiner~y2009m6d19-Beatle-news-brief s-for-62009?cid=examiner-email my blog is "Yer Blog" http://fab4yerblog.blogspot.com/ http://robotsarestealingmyluggage.blogspot.com/ **************Download the AOL Classifieds Toolbar for local deals at your fingertips.

Subject: Yankeee's Foxtrot Hotel (My name is "Eb", Slight Return) gather 'round o sistren and o brethren, for we shall nowforth put paid to this particular mystery of the ages. let it now be known that El Petester is being fitted with a vocal mic in order that he be enabled to participate in the barking/howling sounds when The Mighty Mighty Venus 3 underTake to perform "Hey Bulldog" at Maximum Rock Volume. Question: *Are* The Mighty Mighty Venus 3 going to underTake to perform "Hey Bulldog" at Maximum Rock Volume? Answer: Yes, it is a logical certainty that The Mighty Mighty Venus 3 will underTake to perform "Hey Bulldog" at Maximum Rock Volume. For, the fitting of El Petester with a vocal mic would otherwise be not only a wasting of the sound techs' time, but also a wasting of El Petester's time (and thus, as well and by extension, of TC "Fuck You" Clark's time).
