"Wasted and Ready" is Ben Kweller's song, words and music, and it's on Sha Sha, the debut album from the former Radish member, in the version ATO Records put out in 2002. Vincent Chancey plays French horn on the track, a curveball on an indie rock record.
Sha Sha had an earlier life. It started out as a pile of outtakes from the sessions for Discount Fireworks, the Radish album that never came out, and Kweller issued it himself on CD-R in 2000. The ATO release two years later reshuffled the track list almost beyond recognition, bringing in plenty of new songs and fresh recordings.
