Never heard of this, checked my history, sure as hell never edited it.

Does someone else share my IP adress? Or is this jackass just having fun?

Genre[edit]

so, what genre is his music?

alternative rock? emo rock? britpop?

I'm so confused by all the terms... :D

--Trickstar

i would say the genre is 'sounds like weezer'

I'd say Adult Alternative.

He's not emo.

Definitely a singer/songwriter with an edge. not over produced. electric live performer. old timey punkster sortof, from Tejas. love the BK

I'm not seeing anything in his discography or anything in the article that gives credence to the labeling of Ben Kweller's genre as "Thrash Metal" so I am removing it. Tentonbricks (talk) 18:03, 31 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Father/Birth name[edit]

No mention of his famous father (or Ben's birth name)?

In Other Words[edit]

I noted that Talib Kweli sampled the song "In Other Words" without permission. Ben Kweller made this aparent in Episode 7 of his internet broadcast entitled "One Minute Pop Song."

Merge with Radish?[edit]

This article contains more about Radish than its page does. I suggest merging Radish into this article. -jR

Toured with Guster[edit]

just wanted to check this was right since he definitely toured with Gomez and I see no mention of that here although it is mentioned on the Gomez page and nowhere on the Guster page does it mention them touring with him —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.115.171.155 (talk) 08:46, 12 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Mr. Deeds soudtrack[edit]

why no mention of Falling being featured in the movie Mr. Deeds and included on the soundtrack? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.1.67.15 (talk) 03:13, 20 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

High School with Nils Lofgren?[edit]

Citation #2 says he went to high school with someone much, much older? Is this actually true or perhaps he went to high school with the guys's son? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.253.140.64 (talk) 01:30, 15 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
