It's posts like this that make me wish I had a soundcard in my PC.

Roll on October.

Superb stuff. It seems at first as if he's playing it strictly for laughs, then it (gulp) starts to sound good. Joe Jackson's in fine voice too.

I've listened to it quite a few times now and I can't believe I'm saying this but I actually like it and can see it being a hit. Sounds like he's finally developed a sense of humour. My sons have just been pogoing across the living room to it.

I must be going off my chump.

I saw a Henry Rollins spoken word show and he recounted a recording session with Ben Folds, Adrian Belew and Shatner for this album.

Apparently, Shatner has the energy and blind curiousity of a six year old. In a good way.

Never a Star Trek fan, but I admire that.

PS- Homer Simpson is god.

Homer Simpson has the energy and blind curiosity of a six year old in a bad way.
