Archive.org Download of the Week- Ben Lee
This week’s show is a performance by Australian singer songwriter Ben Lee, aka the guy that was sleeping with Claire Danes for awhile.
Lee was another musician I discovered through WBER while in high school, they played the ever living hell out of his single “Cigarettes Will Kill You”, which isn’t a bad thing in the least. A true road warrior, Lee has toured the world over and continues to put out quality albums with deft lyrics, catchy riffs, and an overall enjoyable demeanor.
This show was from his Knitting Factory Appearance in June of 2004 and features a wide sampling of his career in a show that is recorded with excellent quality. For the landing page to listen to or download the show, click here.

Recommended Songs: I honestly really love this entire show, the sound quality, the banter with the crowd, and the song selection. If I had to choose what to single out: No Right Angles, Pop Queen, and Awake is the New Sleep… Also his explanation for his admiration of Puff Daddy at the end of No Right Angles… It cracked me up.
