Beck's Record Club: INXS Kick

Jun 18 2010

I was a huge fan of Kick back in the day, and seeing Berklee’s Annie Clark (aka St. Vincent) cover “Need You Tonight” for Beck’s Record Club series makes me want to revisit the record.

Also: is it just me or is this bass line borrowing from Sly Stone’s “Thank You For Talkin’ to Me Africa?”

    Who cares where the bassline is from. Ever so often musicians play things that sound like something else. Many times, it’s incidental.

    Remember, nothing is original.

    The INXS cover is great, especially with St. Vincent singing.

    Kick was one of the first records I truly loved by my own discovery. All though I was young when it came out (7!) Kick and the follow up X were seminal in my developing fascination with being a musician. This version is pretty neat, but will require repeated listening of the original to reinforce how amazing Michael really was… such a shame about that tv show and what it has done to their legacy…
