Beck covering Leonard Cohen

Currently on Beck's website (beck.com) there are two covers of Leonard Cohen's "Suzanne" and "Master Song" (both originally from Cohen's Songs of Leonard Cohen) and while there's nothing groundbreaking here, it's a pretty fun listen as one of the most interesting musicians around covers one of the best songwriters ever. These are part of the "Beck's Record Club" series that already covered The Velvet Underground & Nico and Skip Spence's Oar and apparently intend to cover all of Songs... too. Beck's band this time includes MGMT, Devandra Banhart, and members of Wolfmother and Little Joy. They update with a new song every Thursday.
