Thurston joins Beck's record club
 

promising!

holy balls

nice!

nice, im a big fan of Beck

Awesome!

Wish them good luck boys.

wow. This is fantastic news.

to-to-tortoise? they still rock? weird...extremely weird.

I like when artists are free of their contracts.

funny, Beck & SY were two of the only major label artists I could think of that were barely effected by being on contract.

Don't tell Rob!!

barely affected? how do you figure one can be involved with a large business and not be affected?

Before starting the Record Club recordings, it was said that Beck would do covers of a Sonic Youth album ...

he covered evol.

just saw tortoise last sunday. they've still got it.

Any word when this is coming out? Is it still going to be part of that talked SY box?

rather nope.

I just meant, you don't see other artists on major labels who have the same freedom as Beck and SY. Beck was releasing his indie albums the same year that Mellow Gold came out on DGC. SY was releasing their SYR's while still signed the major. Meaning, the usual confines of a major didn't seem to stop either of them from releasing music elsewhere.

& by the way NYC g&f don't sound like a major label record, at all.

truth.
