William Shatner and Ben Folds team up for new album. No joke. Has Been will be in stores October 5th. Original songs written by both Folds and Shatner, with help on a few from Nick Hornby, Brad Paisley and Pulp; guest vocalists include Aimee Mann and Henry Rollins. Have a taste [QT].

I guess it's not that surprising since Shatner contributes vocals to a track on Folds' Fear of Pop. Not that that's a recommendation (and I haven't heard FoP yet except for samples, so don't take my word for it). But Has Been could certainly be cool.

Also: The new SUPER D tracks will be available on iTunes on August 24.

Compelling. Very compelling.

"Fear of Pop" is wonderful, and I'll be buying the new ones (Folds solo and with Shatner) too.
