Music, movies, entertainment, etc. Because James wanted it (and seems like a pretty good idea)

Beck Covers Nick Drake - Pink Moon

I was interested to hear it, so I thought you guys might be too, though having heard it I don't think I care for it much.

I like the fact that it sounds like a song from "Sea Change", but it's really a song that's entirely unnecessary to cover. I'd rather see him do another song off that record, like "Know" or "Parasite"...

BUT I must say I just saw an episode of Futurama the other day with Beck...awesome!

Yeah, that totally does not make me want to by a VW.

If you can't match the lilting quality of his vocals, I think you have to take it in a totally different direction.

i dont really like straight-up covers. i like them to be really different or there's no point.

I love cover songs.

I like this one -- but it doesn't sound like something interesting and new that he should have released. Rather, it sounds like something he sang nicely with his bandmates on a tour bus.

it's called karaoke

Singing birds and laughing bees
