Tour Board / Re: Did anybody ask about the future of the five?
« on: March 22, 2017, 05:37:26 PM »update on that Ireland record! asked Ben about it at an AMAA before his show in Milwaukee his paraphrased answer was, "We ordered too much jameson and couldn't really focus so it's not really a record and idk if i'll ever do anything with it"
Isn't this basically how that fake leak album of Way To Normal came to be?

« on: February 24, 2017, 02:10:54 PM »They said something in the past about it being open when the timing works out for everyone. Darren released a record as Hotel Lights in April, and is touring with another indie rock band currently. Folds has eluded to more work with yMusic, so who knows?! There's also apparently a whole next record "ready" that has Ryan and Sam on it, that they recorded pre-So There (and Phone in a Pool was stolen off of).
soooooooo, your guess is as good as mine.
That is super interesting. Hope we hear it sometime soon. Would love to see the Five get together again at some point. I really liked SotLotM, but I ain't gonna hold my breath.
This is semi-related, but Ben does a little play-by-play of the Whatever and Ever Amen album on people magazine's website. http://people.com/music/ben-folds-five-whatever-and-ever-amen-20th-anniversary-track-commentary/
Would be kind of neat if they did a show and played that album all the way through.
I'm not sure there's any ground breaking stuff in there about how the songs came about, but I wasn't aware that "Fair" basically came from a newspaper story, like cigarette did.

I think the Nick Hornby track is "The Sound of the Life of the Mind" not Erase Me.

Nice interview. Possibility of 2 more albums AFTER this one? Very cool. We'll see I guess.

Lyrically it isn't... Hard to miss the musical similarities.

« on: August 30, 2011, 04:25:38 PM »Beamer--check out ben's webpage. It says Amelia is from the Mitch Easter Sessions 2000. I don't how far the guys got on that last record. It would be interesting to learn a bit more about it. I heard Morgan Davis, Losing Lisa and a few titles tossed around. I'm guessing they decided to use someone (Mitch) other than Caleb for the 4th album? Never heard any of those demos (Food Court in there?).
which page do you mean?
