Ma~

Let's take this back inline. Congratulations to Peadar and Dana on the recent birth of their brand newborn daughter Matilda. What is it about lady babies? All of us have had girls, some of us have had several :)

Get used to ladybird necklaces on door handles, startlingly comprehensive handbag collections and stubbing your toe or upending yourself on a crayon or wooden mushroom when you _least_ expect it. You'll be surprised at how utterly forgivable your own offspring are.

Enjoy guys. Mail us some photos of the little lady (I'm good for brooding self portraits of daddy thanks) and congratulations again.

Beck Hansen's Record Club

The Record Club do Velvet Underground & Nico 'Sunday Morning'

"For those new to the Record Club, it is an informal meeting of various musicians to record an album in a day. An album is chosen to be reinterpreted and used as a framework. Nothing rehearsed or arranged ahead of time. A track is put up here once a week. As you will hear, some of the songs are rough renditions, often first takes documenting what happened over the course of a day. There is no intention to 'add to' the original work or attempt to recreate the power of the original recording. Only to play music and document what happens. And those who aren't familiar with the albums in question will hopefully look for the songs in their definitive versions."
