The third installment of Beck's Record Club project begins today, as video of Beck, Wilco, Feist and Jamie Lidell covering Skip Spence's "Little Hands" has hit Beck's website. For those not aware of obscure Californian psych-rockers, Skip Spence, who was often called the American Syd Barrett, was a member of Moby Grape and Jefferson Airplane, and recorded one solo album, 1969's Oar. Spence died in 1999 after many years spent as an acid casualty and struggles with schizophrenia. Tune in next week, and 10 weeks more for the rest of Beck's album-length cover of Oar.
