Oh My God! A New Ben!!!

I *heart* Ben Folds. Seriously. And he has a new album out (CD for all you youngsters.) It's called "Songs For Silverman". Go buy it! You won't regret it. Ben Fold has an alternative pop piano style that is addictive.

Okay, so Pete emailed me this morning to tell me that this album was out, so I went to Amazon and bought it. Here's the cool part -- when you do this they not only send you the CD, but also make a copy available for immeadiate download. And the copy that you get to download has commentary by Ben before each song! Yipee!!! I am way too excited!! I'm listening to it now and I am not disappointed.

And the final icing on the cake. . . Embroideries by Marjane Satrapi is now available and the two together came to $25.52. That's right, free shipping baby!

Life is good. . .

Isn't he great? He's coming in concert to the winery I work at during the summer. If I'm lucky, I'll get to meet him!

Oh I absolutely heart Ben Folds, too! I was devasted when Ben Folds Five folded (teehee, I couldn't resist). Thanks for the heads-up!

Ben Ben Ben! The last concert I saw before I had my son was Ben Folds at Red Rocks. Just plain incredible.

I just ordered mine from amazon and my digital locker is having issues. I guess I'll have to pass on the instant gratification...

I never really got into Ben Folds Five but soo many people love him. I'm openminded though, maybe I should give him a try. That pretty cool that you get a digital version.

If you're into Ben Folds, you might enjoy Sondre Lerche or Elliott Smith. That is, unless you've already listened to them, haha.

My boyfriend got me into his music. I really enjoyed the Ben Folds Five concert we went to a few years ago. Thanks for the info about the new CD & download!

I love Ben Folds, too! I downloaded that online as soon as it came out. It felt like I'd been waiting forEVER! You should also check out the EPs that he's put out in the past year or so, because they are really fun.

Looks interesting but I was hoping the translation of Persepolis 3 would come first!

I am SO excited about that album, too! In college, I went to a Ben Folds Five concert and got to meet him. It was great fun. I just downloaded the album last night (legally, from itunes), but haven't gotten to listen to it yet. Glad to hear it's good!
