Julian Casablancas covered Velvet Underground and Aimee Man covered The Carpenters for new episode of ‘Vinyl’ (listen)

We mentioned that Julian Casablancas was featured on the soundtrack for HBO's Vinyl. Now his contribution has been released, and it's a cover of the Velvet Underground classic "Run Run Run." You can listen to the fuzzy, faithful cover below. This is from the soundtrack for the second episode (airing this Sunday, 2/21) and the whole mini-soundtrack, which also features Aimee Mann covering The Carpenters' "Yesterday Once More," is streamable via Spotify, below.

Vinyl, which premiered last weekend, was just renewed for a second season (despite iffy ratings). Did you watch the premiere? What did you think? If you haven't seen it, you can watch the pilot for free for a limited time.
