(no subject)
okay, so i barely post here anymore, and usually when i do it's some silly bit of pop culture or trivia.
today is not really all that different, but it is a little more heart felt.
i bought a new album today on itunes. it's called HAS BEEN, and it's by William Shatner. I'm sure most of you have heard and laughed at his renditions of Mr Tamborine Man and Lucy in the Sky.
forget them.
this is one of the most honest, funny, depressing, raw, and brave albums i have heard in a long time.
shatner doesn't go it alone this time. Ben Folds is helping to run the show, and several other friends lend their talents to a song. henry rollins, aimee man, brad paisley, and joe jackson all show up, and there's a truely beautiful song written by Nick Hornby (who wrote High Fidelity). arguably the best song tho is "what have you done" which is shatner's reaction to his wife's apparent suicide. really brutal and honest.
It's really something i recommend to all of you.
cheers,
mike
