Summary

Bill and Brian are without a guest yet again as they delve into one of Brian's favorite albums from one of his favorite artists. This here is the music that got adolescent, turtle-neck wearing Brian out of the Jazz LPs section of his local Borders and turned him into the indie pop-rock lovin' hipster we all know and love today! There's a lot of Wikipedia level knowledge on this episode as Brian spent way too much time trolling the message boards of benfolds.org back in the early aughts. And, as always, we talk about every single track on Ben Folds Five's Whatever and Ever Amen (1997, 550/Epic)!
