So, what is Beck doing?
He’s not on tour and he hasn’t released an album in over a year, but mention Beck’s name, and his unpredictable music style and free-associative lyrics come instantly to mind.
One thing that he has been working on is a Record Club where he and other musicians can record cover versions of their albums in a day. The first album he recorded for the club was The Velvet Underground & Nico.
Starting on June 18, the club started posting covers of songs from the album on Thursday evenings, each with its own video. On June 19, Beck announced a weekly DJ set put together by Beck, or a guest DJ. The set is called Planned Obsolescence.
