It’s OK. I prefer the New Amsterdams’ take on “thirty three.”

Ben Folds covers Elliot Smith
Tuesday, May 11th, 2010
as part of the Onion AV Club’s ongoing cover series. I saw Ben play this live at William and Mary back in 2003. Sounds a little weird with the keyboard instead of a normal piano, but hey, better quality than the shitty bootleg I’ve had for years.

“Nevermind” turns 20 next year. Yikes.

Ben Folds nerd #1394123094
Monday, March 1st, 2010
Apparently Ben had a best-of disc out last year in Japan. My sense is it’s pretty much the record label’s doing, as there really isn’t an equivalent here in America. But putting aside my collector geek impulses for a moment, let’s nerd out about the tracklist.
18 tracks, spanning Ben’s career. Read the rest of this entry »

My favorite albums of the decade
Thursday, January 14th, 2010
Yeah, I know I’m a bit behind everyone else with these stupid lists, but I actually waited for the decade to end, rather than blowing my wad in July. I’ve got songs, too… but here they are, my top 20 favorite albums of the decade. Remember, this is a “favorite” list, not a “best” list. If it were to be a “best” list I’d put #2 at #1.
Oh, and my current #1, which should come as no surprise, sadly, probably wouldn’t even make a critical list… so here it is, my 20 favorite albums from 2000-2009.

Music needed!
Saturday, January 9th, 2010
I’m working on a project and I need help finding a song. Here’s the details:
I’m producing an upper level grad film at USC. It’s going to count as my buddy’s thesis (previous USC thesis films have gone on to win Oscars for best short… so that’s the level of work we’re striving for). Read the rest of this entry »

Weezer Album 7
Wednesday, November 4th, 2009
Rewind:
It’s 2002, I’m a senior at the University of Maryland, drinking with my little brother in his room as a (particularly lame) frat party rages below. Benny, for those who know him, loves Weezer as much as I love Ben Folds, maybe more so. I’m back from my semester abroad and we’re deconstructing “Maladroit” (which provided the soundtrack to my two weeks in Berlin earlier that summer).
Benny repeats some theory he probably read on a Weezer fan site about Weezer’s upcoming release schedule. I can’t remember the specifics (I was pretty drunk) but I specifically remember Benny claiming that Weezer’s seventh album would be their masterpiece. Read the rest of this entry »

Such Great Heights

Still fantastic, some versions (much) better than others. Shit, I’ll take the metal version over Iron and Wine.
