“It took me three days to figure out that there was another side to the tape. That was not the only naive mistake that I made; I mistook the metal/normal switch on the Walkman for a genre-specific equaliser, but later I discovered that it was in fact used to switch between two different types of cassette.”
I’ve changed the feel of the tumblog and have brought comments back online. I did something unusual by putting the comment bar at the top of the permalink version of the post as a blatant attempt to encourage participation. Will it work?
Beck - “Sunday Morning”
An upcoming addition to Beck’s website known as Record Club will have him hopping into the studio with some friends, covering an entire classic album (without the benefit of rehearsal), and posting one song a week from the session. Lucky for us, he started with a perennial favorite, The Velvet Underground’s The Velvet Underground & Nico. The first track off the album, one we’ve posted here before, is also the first of the Record Club sessions to be released. And as obvious as it may be, this song really is my favorite song to play on a Sunday morning.
