some posts remind me of lou's perfect day, because i, too, am ready to run screaming into the night due to those that i have to share the planet with just like in his classic double entendre.
songs should be judged on their own merits. comparisons are pointless...guess not too many have set in on jams where everybody is doing everybody else's songs...covers are compliments in the music world
To me it seems he has kept some essence of the originals and blended them into his own interpretations so that I can somehow still hear the brilliance of the originals and also appreciate his innovations at the same time.
its kind of ironic. ever since the velvet underground, people have thrown away traditionalist ideals of musicianship. no one cares if you're an amateur! and now you're criticising a cover of a vu song for.. ah why do i bother. go and listen to led zeppelin or some shit
define amateur... because ok, if you define it as having techincal skill, then youre right. but they make up for it in songwriting and feeling. thats why its great.. this idea has been played out in every genre in every area.. the clash, nirvana, the mars volta, even something like the beegees. zeppelin kicks ass, but theres plenty of badns that do fine without page's awesome guitar solos or bonhams grooves
wow i think im in love! this is beautiful! i LOVE it love the new website its all beck now! She builds you up to just put you down, what a clown cause everybody knows shes a femme fatale the things she does to please shes a femme fatale... beck totally aced this cover ♥
Are Venus in Furs, All Tomorrow's Parties and all the upcoming tracks going to be put up? Also I hear it's Beck and WILCO for the next one! It's going to be Skip Spence's "Oar". I don't know about anyone else but they're my two favorites!
Just lovely! Especially considering the nature of this project, completely unrehearsed and spontaneous first takes on this iconic material. Shame YT messed up the sequence if the video. Thanks for posting, your channel is a true GEM.
Fuck I love your covers! :)

Wow. This is pretty good. Although I will always perfer The Velvets versions of these songs he really modernized and made these songs his own.

I don't even see what point you are trying to make.
Apparently, you are so unhappy with yourself that someone criticising a mediocre cover of a brilliant song gets to you...
Chill the fuck out.

@louiecostello What's wrong with Zeppelin? I must admit when I listen to them, it's a live bootleg - incredibly fun and exciting!

not yet. I think he will eventually though. If I were Beck i would bet on a special edition release once he covers more albums.

Man, over the past 4 years, Beck has really aged.
Regardless, this is a great cover of an awesome song. Can't wait for the rest of the videos.
