Smoke your smoke!Things You ThinkMusic by Ben FoldsLyrics by Nick HornbyThings You Think is a VideoSong, a new medium with 2 rules:1. What you see is what you hear (no lip-syncing for instruments or voice).
2. If you hear it, at some point you see it (no hidden sounds).Did we mention it’s available on iTunes?http://tinyurl.com/ThingsYouThinkBen’s new record comes out Sept. 28th! You should get it, trust us! We’ve heard a handful of the songs (yeah, we’re bragging. so what?), and it’s freaking sweet. Nick Hornby (author of Fever Pitch, High Fidelity, About a Boy, and a bunch more) wrote all of the lyrics on the album, and Ben took care of the music. Super rad combination, totally big time. You can order the album here:iTunees: http://wbr.fm/bennickPhysical: http://wbr.fm/benpreSpecial thanks to Ben for working with us! It was way too much fun to have you recording in our studio.

It is considered the finest example of Mexican mural art in the United States, and the artist thought it the best work of his career.The abandoned factories that you see are actual factories of Detroit, Michigan in their current state.
