In 2003, Ben Folds asked myself and @benkweller to do a tour of Australia with him. What might strike your average music biz nerd as a bad idea (3 musicians that people confuse with each other all the time anyway sharing a stage), to me sounded like pure absurd genius.
We holed up in Folds' Nashville studio before the tour and wrote and recorded 4 songs in 4 days. That became the one and only "The Bens" ep. Here it is, in its entirety.
TRACK LISTING:
- Just Pretend
- X-Fire
- Lose Yourself
- Bruised
Enjoy!

You guys should do another! Just because it'd be friggin' awesome!
Hey, I vaguely recall you saying years ago that there was another famous Ben that was asked and rejected the notion... Was that Mr Harper? Who was that @benleemusic?

What a great collaboration this was. I know you keep in touch with Ben Kweller, what about Ben Folds?
