Ben Folds + Tim and Eric = Awesome Video, Great Job!
Ben's new video for You don't Know Me, starring Tim and Eric from Tim and Eric Awesome Show Great Job
Also - at about 3:07 there is a guy that looks a lot like that Josh Groban guy.
Please excuse the song's one expletive. I'll post a radio-friendly version if I can find it.

Songs With Strings #1
Songs with Strings #1
an ongoing MP3 series featuring good songs with good strings
For our first installment we turn to the early career of one of my favorites - Ben Folds, who, in my opinion, is one of the most talented songwriters and musicians of our time. One of his best songs came early - on his 1990 demo. It was a bluesy track called Kalamazoo. Great song, fan favorite, but the original sound quality left MUCH to be desired. Thankfully, in 2004 Ben re-recorded Kalamazoo and put it on Super D, the third in a 3-part EP project. Explaining the new recording, Ben Folds said the following:
Personally, I love when the drums come in. This is one of my favorite Ben Folds solo tracks. Enjoy.
You can purchase this song on the original Super D EP.

There's a couple of demos of this song floating around for years. I wrote it when I was about 19 or 20. One of the demos is really upbeat, recorded with my old band, Majosha. The other one was a four-track demo that I made of the song by myself in my apartment. I had to consult that version a few times to work out how the hell I was going to play drums, bass and piano on this and stay in time. Got it worked out. I added strings because I could.
You can purchase this song on the original Super D EP.
