Beck continues making good use of his down time between album cycles with the second phase of his Record Club, the project which sees Hansen invite a tag-archive-friendly set of friends to cover an a classic album in its entirety, in a day, with no rehearsal. He recently finished posting clips from the Velvet Underground & Nico session, featuring logical (not logical) bedfellows Nigel Godrich and Giovanni Ribisi. Now it's on to Songs Of Leonard Cohen, which stars "Devendra Banhart, Ben, Andrew and Matt from MGMT, Andrew from Wolfmother, Binki from Little Joy, and Brian [Lebarton] and Bram [Inscore] returning from the first Record Club," and was chosen by Andrew from MGMT.

First up is album opener and all-around classic "Suzanne," which the club gives a gruff, groovy, and cello-lined redo -- because that's just how it came out.
