Beck

"Little Hands" ft. Wilco, Feist and Jamie Lidell (Skip Spence Cover) (Video)

November 13, 2009 9:52 a.m. by Andrew Winistorfer

 

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.

This seems to make more sense as a record to cover. Those VU and Cohen records are iconic. Oar is a classic, but it's not as well known as the other two. This way he can spread out a bit, and he can turn new listeners on to Skip Spence.
