This is one of the most insane and coolest things I've ever heard of...
A few night ago, Ben Folds, who is just one of our favorites, teamed up with 3 other folks (lead singer of OK Go, songwriter Amanda Palmer and her author husband) to write and record 8 songs in 8 hours - 4 pm to midnight, west coast time. Neil Gairman (the author) tweeted throughout, taking suggestions for lyrics, album name, etc, and they live video-streamed the whole thing. They released the songs here the following morning, and then performed them live at Boston's Berklee College of Music that night.
And though they only got to 6 songs, and they're kind of weird, I'm still blown away by the concept.
