Record Club
Record Club is a musical project initiated by Beck Hansen in June 2009.
The purpose of the project is to cover an entire album by another artist in one day, using an informal and fluid collective of musicians. Albums covered as of July 2010 are The Velvet Underground‘s The Velvet Underground and Nico, Leonard Cohen‘s Songs of Leonard Cohen, Skip Spence‘s Oar, INXS‘s Kick, and Yanni‘s Yanni Live at the Acropolis. Video footage of every performance has been made available on Beck’s website.
One of my favorites is INXS “Need You Tonight” with the lovely Annie Clark (St. Vincent).

Thanks to my buddy Zach Hurd for tipping me off.
