I won the jarvis album at the radio station awards last weekend and it's great. the song I played today has a bit of crimson and clover in it. really enjoyable record.

played the shatner for my friend who had never heard it.

you ever hear the shatner song with ben folds from folds' fear of pop record? definitely a classic.

dude, i've owned the fear of pop album since it came out. :)

ben folds is the man.

p.s. technically shatner is featured on two tracks on that album, in love, and still in love (the reprise).

not to pick nits or anything. :P

other interesting and fun tidbits about this album (from wikipedia):

The track "Rubber Sled" is a humorous reference to Ben Folds Five bass player, Robert Sledge. A clip of Brick by Ben Folds Five is playing in the background at the beginning of this song, though played at twice its normal speed, and a sample of Folds yelling "Robert Sledge on the bass guitar!" can be heard approximately halfway through the song. "I Paid My Money" was at least almost a decade old at the time it was recorded in 1998. The original 1990 demo version featured Folds singing over an african-american choir.
