Ben Folds & Nick Hornby “From Above”

There are the crappy cartoon crossovers (“Hello, ‘Flintstones Meet The Jetsons’!”) and then there are the awesome cartoon crossovers, like when Spiderman helped out The X-Men.

This is an awesome crossover.

Ben Folds, the bespeckled, piano-playing, off-Broadway-understudying, Shatner-record-producing, college-a-capella-recording, "Sing Off" judge, has a new collaborator, in Nick Hornby.

Yes, Nick Hornby the author of “High Fidelity,” “Fever Pitch,” “About A Boy,” “Songbook,” and a portion of my wedding vows.

"From Above" is the album. Words by Nick Hornby. Music by Ben Folds.
