New Ben Folds Video - "Learn To Live With What You Are"

Arrrgh! No, not Captain Fantastic -- it's Capt. Folds, replete with an ivory-tickling hook (and still so dextrous!). We love Ben 'cause he full-on embraces his extreme dorkitude. When he's not playing to Second Lifers, he's dressing up as a pirate! Here's the goofy clip for strings version of "Lean To Live" from Supersunnyspeedgraphic.

One of my favorite things in the world is when people don't take themselves seriously, and thus this is one of my favorite things in the world. I'm still laughing.
