Coolest Man on the Planet is...


Beck.  Yeah, that's the end of the sentence. There was never a voting process.  

It's hard to tell whether this project will be released or whether its just for shits and giggles, but what Mr. Beck Hansen has done the last few months is pretty uncanny.  His Record Club is surely to become the stuff of legend, with soldiers like Nigel Godrich, Devendra Banhart, Binki Shapiro (Little Joy), actor Giovanni Ribissi and others getting together to record tracks from Velvet Underground & Nico.  Members of MGMT have also been in the Club studio lately recording, which is downright frightening.  Now, Wilco, Feist, and Jamie Lidell have been recruited to record a new vision of Skip Spence's Oar. 

Hear "Little Hands" while you patiently wait for the rest.
