If French actress/chanteuse/pop-royalty Charlotte Gainsbourg’s last album 5:55 was a fairly conventional singer-songwriter affair, then the first taste of her upcoming collaboration with Beck promises something far more adventurous.

For the second post in his much-hyped Record Club project, Beck has teamed up with Andrew VanWyngarden and Ben Goldwasser of MGMT -- plus freak-folk star Devendra Banhart, Andrew Stockdale of Wolfmother, and Binki Shapiro of Little Joy -- for a fresh take on Leonard Cohen's 1968 classic love song "Suzanne" Watch it below.

In addition to covering classic albums, Beck has been spending time lately chatting with his famous friends as part of his Irrelevant Topics interview series. A few weeks ago, he got Tom Waits on the horn.

Ever get annoyed when your favorite band refuses to play their old hits? Well, Bruce Springsteen's fans in Chicago won't be facing that problem. The Boss and his E. Street Band will be playing their 1975 classic Born To Run in its entirety on September 20 at the Windy City's Union Center!

Beck's at it again! After debuting covers of Velvet Underground songs and launching his Irrelevant Topics interview series, the always-innovative singer has introduced yet another new feature to his web site -- and this time, he's playing his own music.
