The song features backup vocals from Beck, who wrote and produced the entire album for the singer/actress.  In fact, IRM really just sounds like a new Beck album.  CharlotteGainsbourg.com is also offering a free download of the title track from the album. The below MP3 of “Heaven Can Wait” is available on Beck.com, Pitchfork, and Stereogum. MP3: Charlotte Gainsbourg – “Heaven Can Wait” (Download) [See post to listen to audio] IRM (January 2010)

Little Dragon‘s upcoming sophomore album, Berlinmaster, is due in August 2009.  I’ve always thought there was something distinctive and impressively original about LIttle Dragon and the singles off the new album (linked below) are testament to their unique sound.  On a side note, according to Allmusic.com, “Fortune” and “Blinking Pigs”, the singles off the upcoming album, were released this year, contradictory to iTunes which has the release date as January of 2008.  Not sure what’s going on there… MP3: Little Dragon – “Fortune” MP3: Little Dragon – “Blinking Pigs”

“Tell Me It’s Not Over” by Starsailor is a song I’ve been hearing on KCRW a good amount. The song is kind of soft and a little cheesy but it’s an emotional and well executed, pop rock song. At first, I was kind of embarassed that I liked the song but I got over that pretty quickly. MP3: Starsailor – “Tell Me It’s Not Over”

After realizing that the original One eskimO track “Given Up” is not called “Givin’ Up” I was finally able to find the song I wanted for so long.  Everytime I searched for the song I would get the Don Diablo remix which I posted a couple of months ago.  It was spelled “Givin’ Up” for the Don Diablo Remix so I had some trouble…  Found it now though and here it is, One eskimO’s “Given Up”

Beck is a busy man.  Aside from the Record Club project I discussed last week, Beck recently announced another project called “Planned Obsolescence.”  According to Beck.com, Planned Obsolescence is a weekly DJ set of “mixes of what we’re listening to, put together by myself or guest DJs.”  The first mix he’s posted is 40 minutes long and guess what- Beck is using Soundcloud.com which I love and have posted about a couple of times.  I’m happy to see someone like Beck taking advantage of what SoundCloud.com has to offer.  I posted the first mix for the Planned Obsolescence project below.  And below that are the 2nd and 3rd songs in the Record Club series.

Planned Obsolescence:

Beck – “Autobahn Hologram”

Record Club:

Beck – “Femme Fatal” (Velvet Underground & Nico)

Beck – “Waiting for My Man” (Velvet Underground & Nico)

Beck (and friends Nigel Godrich, Joey Waronker, Brian Lebarton, Bram Inscore, Giovanni Ribisi, Chris Holmes, and Thorunn Magnusdottir) will pick an album, spend a day recording a cover of it, and then post it on the internet for all to enjoy.  ”An album will be chosen to be reinterpreted and used as a framework. Nothing rehearsed or arranged ahead of time. A track will be uploaded once a week on beck.com as well as through the web sites of those involved with the project.” –  Beck.com.  A couple of days ago, Beck & co. released the first edition and debut of the record club, their version of “Sunday Morning” from Velvet Underground and Nico. MP3: “Sunday Morning”
