Has Been has been growing on me, and not even in an ironic way. It’s unlike anything else you’ll hear this year. Ben Folds did an amazing job with the arrangements.
This lovely track was co-written by Ben and author Nick Hornby:
And this cover will bring a smile to your hipster face:
Not only that … Shatner just punk’d Iowa!
In other news, I just learned a new word: Transparentando (NSFW). The Internet is so amazing. It has TWO USES.

The first use being what, porn?
it’s great. i don’t know how or why but i like it a lot. “common people” sort of reminds me of the grinch who stole christmas somehow… just me right.
The Shat ain’t shit shock
…you want to LIVE like COMMONpeople?
viva la shat. any ben fans out there like me who had/have Fear of Pop, when Shat and Ben teamed up for the epic “In Love”?…now there was a tune..
I’ve had “I can’t get behind that!” up on my blog for a couple of weeks – grab it at : http://beautiful_killer.blogspot.com/2004/09/i-cant-get-behind-this.html
It’s awesome. God bless you Mister Shatner.
If I’ve contributed nothing to this world, William Shatner must forevermore be known as “The Shat”
humina, that Common People cover is beautiful! But you linked a different record on amazon.
xox
somewhere in france, jarvis cocker is rolling around on the floor, laughing!
i can’t download the aimee mann song
Is irony dead? Because I really like the William Shatner tracks. Like, as songs. Not as “I like it because I know it sucks” experiences.
I’m talking to you, hipsters.
okay, “That’s Me Trying” just brought me to tears. Granted, it’s been the end of a very long, trying work day, but…it was gorgeous. And I’m sitting here thinking: WILLIAM SHATNER JUST MADE ME CRY. THERE IS SOMETHING VERY WRONG WITH THIS.
Plus, I love the way he pronounces “poor” in “Common People.”
Yes. Certifiably excellent.

B3ta had Common People a while back, and since then I’ve been dying to get my hands on the album. I downloaded it from iMusic the day it was released. It’s been on almost constantly since then – I’m sure that the other half will kill me for that shortly, but I can’t help it.
William Shatner *and* Henry Rollins. On one track. Can life get any better?
