William Shatner
« on: November 24, 2011, 01:28:01 AM »
It has been maintained that I don't like music, so I figured I'd start a thread pushing an album most people have probably not listened to. It's Bill Shatner's "Has Been", and is a surprisingly good album! I had given it to my roommate as a kind of joke for Christmas, but we were both surprised how listenable it was.

Here a song I like for example, "It hasn't happened yet":

The album was written and produced by Ben Folds.  That's why it sounds so good.

Plus look at some of the quality musicians that played on the album.

Joe Jackson (on a cover of Pulp's "Common People")
Aimee Mann (backup vocals on "That's Me Trying"), Lemon Jelly (on "Together")
 Henry Rollins and Adrian Belew (on "I Can't Get Behind That")
Brad Paisley (on "Real", which he wrote specifically for Shatner).

That's not Avery Brooks on the Piano?  :'(

Actually, could you imagine a Star Trek band?  Brent Spiner on the violin, Avery Brooks on piano, Patrick Stewart on the flute, Nicole DeBoer on some instrument (I'm sure one of Dax's past hosts played some kind of instrument...), Johnathan Frakes on Trombone, and Scott Bakula on vocals.  That might be the coolest thing ever.

Yep. I think the only party in the MP/DT situation that hasn't moved on is DTF.

I was just messing with you runny.  But that is a decent album.  I have it as well.
