"We're 5 months into the Record Club project now, and it's time for our third installment.

This one took place last June when Wilco was in town for the release of their new eponymous album. They came by after a long day filming a TV appearance and still managed to put down 8 songs with us. Jamie Lidell was in the studio with me working on his new record. Leslie Feist happened to be in town editing her documentary and heard we were all getting together. Recording took place at Sunset Sound Studios in the room where the Stones did a lot of Exile On Main Street (and looking at the records on the walls it appeared that the Doobie Brothers recorded most of their output there too). Sitting in on drums, we had James Gadson, who's played on most of the Bill Withers records and on songs like 'Express Yourself' and 'I Will Survive.' Jeff Tweedy's son Spencer played played additional drums. Also, Brian Lebarton, from the last two Record Club sessions is back.

The record chosen this time was Skip Spence's 'Oar.' Running sequentially, the first song up is "Little Hands". Our friend Danny Kalb engineered. "

what a sullen group of hipster children, goin' through the motions. has he once again found no inspiration to create a classic of his own? Stop fucking with classic material you stuck up pigs.

@oatstao This is the most intelligent comment I have ever read. Your words should be written down and printed on the back of all currency so that future generations may know the great wisdom of oatstao. I can see it now: "In God we trust*

*stop fucking with classic material you stuck up pigs"

Nice homage to a great song--nothin can top Skip tho--his version makes ya wanna fly to where the song comes from---

@oatstao Beck has been creating innovative music since the late 80s. This song is part of his part of his Record Club project in which he gathers a group of musicians to cover classic albums in a single day. Not only does it take talent to emulate great works in such a short period, but it is also a huge sign of respect. Beck isn't creating derivative works, he is paying homage to the artists that helped make him. Stop being a troll.

@oatstao What's wrong with Beck covering this song? He's got heaps of classic super sexy music. Sea Change, Guero. To name 2 of the many examples. A cover is someone paying respects and playing a song they like. Nobody can beat the classics, sure, but that's not really what covers are for. The cover hasn't fucked up anything, as the original is still there exactly as it was. Loving the original though. Oar am I? (Yes, I am. I was just going foar a pun. ... ... Funny.)

@oatstao I can understand that now! I feel like I was a different person when I made that comment originally.

[oatstao]

@Joebob034 you can find the vinyl on ebay for $200

[oatstao]

@emilfonseca just listen. don't think too hard. let it come from your soul. math or soul, you choose.

[oatstao]

@fruitbatrepublic bullshit. He's a collective, but a different collective every so often. He's not mr. brain, he's a part of the whole and is the dependant connection to the mainstream due to the father connection who opened all his doors.

thanks for honoring my dad...would love to sing with you someday!
