The celebrated English novelist Nick Hornby (High Fidelity, About a Boy) often writes about music and musicians, so it only made sense that he'd want to make some music of his own. He's teamed up with the pop pianist Ben Folds for a new album called Lonely Avenue. Today on Soundcheck: Ben Folds performs tracks off the new album, and the pair discusses their creative collaboration.

That's the worse and most pretentious collaboration I've ever heard. It's so self conscious it felt like someone reciting an article in a gossip magazine.
