I read in Rolling Stone about how Ben Folds decided to create a fake version of his new album to "leak" onto the file sharing sites. He and his band composed and recorded 6 songs in a day. And the guy is such a great musician, that the "fake" songs are pretty darn good in their own right. The article has audio clips for you to listen to the real and fake tracks side-by-side.
In the process of looking for these tracks online, I found a really great repository of Ben Folds rarities and bootleg: WokeUpWayTooLate.com. It includes a great cover of Careless Whisper sung with Rufus Wainwright. Well, the vocals could be better, but it's still a fun listen.
