Ben Folds; Seriously

It's official. Ben Folds has passed Radiohead on my last.fm account. I listen to him more than Radiohead.

I understand some of you guy probably hate Ben Folds. I think he's a... non-sociable kinda guy... He can sing, but he can't talk very well...

I love his songs. I've got his discography.

The other day, we watched a movie about a bush or something in personal finance. (awesome class, that's all we do... watch movies, eat popcorn, drink kool-aid, and play board games...) anyway, ben wrote some of the music for that movie. although the movie sucked, ben's bitchin' brass sections were insane. the credits featured 'rockin' the suburbs', with altered lyrics, of course... we don't want those little kiddies hearing words like 'fuck' and 'bitch' and 'Michael Jackson'.

What are you're views on Ben Folds? Do you like his music? Know any albums? I hope he goes on tour near us soon.

I've been an enormous fan of Ben Folds since 2004, and I'm glad someone else finally likes him!

And you're right, Over The Hedge's soundtrack WAS awesome!

Never heard of him? Wow.

I find him very 'eh' (Larry David gesture). I appreciate how skilled he is, but he doesn't excite me so much.

folds five is awesome, too... most of his best songs are renditions of their elder folds five versions.

All I know is that it's got music videos. I don't watch the dozen or so AFI interviews they have every program.

Disagree. Clips, interviews and features covering a wide range of musical tastes, managing to promote generally decent music without becoming pretentious or snobbish - in prime time? Add on the regular full concert broadcasts, and I'm pro-jTV.

Just to let you know, I had to use Firefox's Spellcheck to spell 'America'... Apparently, I'm stupider than I thought.

Thankfully, they refrain from raping too much 'proime' Aussie Hip-hop.

I sit on the fence. Sometimes there's good stuff but then again, a three hour special on Wolf and Cub pissed me off. Also this morning they were running promos with My Chemical Romance which is the eighth deadly sin.
