I tracked this cover in my studio sometime around the beginning of the year, I had forgotten that I did it until I came across it the other day.. So here it is, a little rough around the edges, but here's my take on a great Ben Folds Five song.. Thanks for listening

BRICK (Ben Folds Five) Cover Song

Joshua Ketchmark has made a damn good soundtrack to his life, and you should care.  Why? Because it very well could be the soundtrack to yours. He delivers it all with melodies and riffs that leave shout-out-loud anthems ringing in your head.
