So remember when I admitted to digging Lady Gaga? Right. I saw this via someone on a message board (which BTW, is not dedicated to LG). Apparently almost 4 million people have already seen it, but I saw it for the first time tonight. SIXTH GRADE! WHAT?
Oh, and look, it’s another awesome Beck Record Club recording of an INXS song…

Earlier this week, I saw a tweet linking to the NPR article about Beck’s Record Club’s newest recording, INXS’s Kick. (that’s a lot of apostrophes) I have not been able to stop thinking about it. I used to like INXS, even when they tried their comeback in 1997. It was really sad when they whored themselves out for that reality show to find a singer. Honestly, some bands just need to realize when they should quit. Anyway, the Record Club article had videos and this one of New Sensation is, for lack of a better word, awesome. New Sensation is one of my favorite INXS songs, maybe my most favorite, and this version is incredible. Check it:
