I think those (or some of those) are part of the signed guitars packages...

Oh geez. I bet Beck would do a great job. I liked his cover of Green Light, so I'll need to hear the rest of this

I found this posted on a Beck forum and was gonna share it in the Non-Sonics part, but I figure this is as good a thread as anywhere to do it:

Beck - Sunday Morning (VU Cover)

I didn't hear about Beck covering the whole VU and Nico album but if that's true, I can't wait to hear it (and his version of EVOL as well )

I would say a hearty AMEN to this a majority of the time. I wish SY would re-record an entire album as part of the package of a future re-release. Not only are they better musicians today, I'm guessing they have a different approach to the songs now than they did many years ago when they were first recorded.

Back when O'Rourke was a member of the band and they were playing Brother James & Burning Spear just about every show, I remember wishing they would have re-recorded those songs and sold them at shows as a tour single.

perhaps more than just that one, I have a feeling (I might be wrong...) that the stickers in that pic are just a sample of what you could get, like, there's a bigger "pool" of stickers, and you get a precise number, but with mixed subjects...does this make sense ?
a bit off topic, though....

Oh sweet, thanks, I'd not actually heard this.

Also I wouldn't count on Beck releasing both of these cover albums anytime soon. The amount of fantastic unreleased shit that man sits on is ridiculous.

NO KIDDING! I was really upset that "Buried Alive" wasn't on the OFITG reissue. Have you heard that song, Danny? Amazing.

[canabero]

it sounds really interesting.

I probably have it, somewhere, in what way was it released? Is it on one of his cassettes?

[noisereductions]

None that I've found (and I have a lot of them). He played it on a few live bootlegs from around MELLOW GOLD though. Y'know when he'd do a lot of acoustic shows. IN FACT it might be on the "Opening For Sonic Youth" Bootleg now that I think of it.....? It was also sometimes called "Burning Alive."

[Danny Himself]

Oh, I'm not a collector of live Beck boots. Or any live boots for that matter. I won't have heard this one then huh.

[noisereductions]

I'm not either. Anymore. But back in the days that I was, I was very into Beck boots. And that song has stayed with me. I don't even have it anymore, because I don't like bootlegs. But I've always wished he'd fucking release it because IT IS THAT GOOD.

Oh cool. The rhyming couplets remind me of another song that I can't put my finger on..

[Magic Wheel Memory]

Will Beck himself be on the cover, recreating the Lung Leg pose? That would be very cool.

who cares.

the dude is a total creative genius.

he just as amazing as sonic youth when it comes to taking his influences and running wild/doing his own thing with them.

and this, THIS THIS THIS here news excites me to no end. beck covering evol? quite possibly the next best thing to sonic youth's version.

hellFUCKINGyes!
