Beck's website is kind of amazing these days. He's got this "record club" project where he and his friends cover classic albums in their entirety - right now it's "Velvet Underground & Nico". He's got interviews with Tom Waits. He's got streaming mixes of whatever he's listening to currently. And my favorite part - he's got acoustic versions of songs from his last record. Here's the video for the stripped down "Gamma Ray", which actually smokes the original.
