People pick weird formats for their shit sometimes. Is there any way anyone could convert this to mp3? My computer is having trouble with Quicktime.

Posted by: not_the_same

yeah, I'd like that too...I'd help you out, but I can only convert audio to audio...not stuff like .mov...but I'll try through Adobe Audition

This is A LOT better than the stuff on Transformed Man.

I'm actually excited about this now. It doesn't seem that it's going to be as avant garde as Fear of Pop.

I'm buyin'.

Hmm... i'm not sure i like this at all.... maybe because I know the original so well, and because it's such a "jarvis cocker" song... I dunno, it's gonna take some getting used to! I'm interested to see what the other tracks are like tho.

Eh. Take it as a fun crazy project that Ben is enjoying. One way or the other, it's guarenteed to have the comedic "this shatner guy thinks he's da shit of spoken word or something" effect. And I really was against this at the beginning. But that track just sounded like they'd poured a lot of dedicated and enjoyment into it. You can sorta hear when artists are having fun, and it can save almost anything.

And honestly. Joe Jackson sounded badass on that chorus.

that is so true.

i agree that this is a hard song to dissociate from the band that originally did it. you'd think itd be a good song for shatner to do the "spoken word" thing to, but in practice it's not as good.

I have mixed feelings after the first listen. The highlight was definitely Joe Jackson. I need to hear this some more. I think "In Love" is great but it sounds like Shatner's hamming it up a little more here.

Fuck you, clown.

this is shat we're talking about. He does nothing but ham. It's part of the ... *dramatic pause* sound baby

having said that, I am excited. Shat adds something unexplainable by being so over the freakin top.

Well, yeah. He did it on In Love, too. But something about the delivery on the new one just doesn't sit with me. Like I said, I've gotta give it some time.
