'''''The Unauthorized Biography of Reinhold Messner''''' is the fourth and final studio [[album]] by [[Ben Folds Five]], released [[April 27]], [[1999 in music|1999]].


'''Pumpkin''' is a color that resembles [[pumpkin]]s.
The band reunited to play the album in its entirety in [[Chapel Hill]], [[North Carolina]] on [[September 18]], [[2008 in music|2008]].<ref>The Suburbs.co.uk: [http://www.thesuburbs.org.uk/news/Did_You_Just_Shit_Your_Pants__Cause_I_Sure_Did "Did You Just Shit Your Pants? Cause I Sure Did."]</ref> The show was streamed live online as a part of [[MySpace]]'s ''Front to Back'' series, with a repeat airing to occur sometime in October.


The first recorded use of ''Pumpkin'' as a color name in [[English language|English]] was in 1922. <ref> Maerz and Paul ''A Dictionary of Color'' New York:1930 McGraw-Hill Page 202; Color Sample of Pumpkin: Page 43 Plate 10 Color Sample H11</ref>
==Origins of the album title==
[[Image:Pumpkins.jpg|thumb|left|The fruit upon which this color is based.]]
The title of the album refers to a name that the band's drummer [[Darren Jessee]] used on [[Identity document forgery|fake IDs]] as a [[teenager]]. The band was unaware of the existence of the real [[Reinhold Messner]], the first man to climb [[Mount Everest]] without the aid of an [[oxygen tank]], until work on the album had already progressed — the band was informed of the mountainclimber's existence on [[February 9]], [[1999]] during an interview with [[DJ]] Bruce Warren of [[WXPN]] radio.<ref>http://www.exit13.net/bff/truth.htm</ref> He is thanked in the record's liner notes for his understanding and cooperation. Messner later contacted Ben Folds Five to let them know that he was highly pleased with the album.

Originally, "Don't Change Your Plans" was preceded by a long instrumental passage; Folds credits producer Caleb Southern for helping edit down the song to its final product, and told an interviewer that Southern, "just cut it away and then all of a sudden it was this pop song. And then it was like ‘Oh okay. I see what you’re talking about.’ Cause I didn’t hear it like that at all. I just heard it as this little masterpiece thing.” On the ''Ben Folds iTunes Originals'', Folds explains that the song "Mess" is "loss of innocence song" about having so much baggage that now you are unable to completely explain your history; "you've made a mess."

===Outtakes===
The band recorded the songs "Leather Jacket" (written by Jessee) and "Birds" (an instrumental penned by bassist [[Robert Sledge]]) during the ''Reinhold Messner'' sessions; the songs were not included on the album, but were released as [[b-side]]s on the "Army" and "Don't Change Your Plans" singles. "Leather Jacket" would also later appear on the charity compilation ''[[No Boundaries: A Benefit for the Kosovar Refugees]]''.


[[it:Zucca (colore)]]
At least two songs, "Break Up at Food Court" and "Carrying Cathy", were recorded during these sessions, but were neither released nor played live by the band. Folds would later re-record "Carrying Cathy" for his debut solo release, ''[[Rockin' The Suburbs]]''.
