Hope the link is useful to someone

Tour Board / Glasgow 25th February 2011

« on: February 26, 2011, 07:02:56 AM »

Hey guys, great gig in glasgow last night.  didnt note down the set list but the main ones from the previous nights were there in a similar order.

But there were some kinda rare ones in there.
Songs of Love
Still Fighting It
Bitches Aint Shit
Sentimental Guy

SOLO
Selfless Cold and Composed
One Down
Fred Jones
Gracie

Gone was a personal highlight.

His voice for a while sounded like its on helium and the piano was pretty crap but still loads of energy and great gig.

General Board / Wtf is this Ben Folds book?

« on: July 25, 2010, 03:06:37 PM »

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Ben-Folds-Albums-Unauthorized-Biography/dp/1156071194/ref=sr_1_8?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1280098704&sr=8-8

Done a search on the ISBN and stuff but just links back to the book.  Published a couple of months ago.  Also recently published this :

http://www.amazon.com/Ben-Folds-Five-Songs-Underground/dp/1155160002

interesting perhaps?

Any ideas? First one would be good if its transcriptions for Way to normal but i imagine its not, being only 64 pages long and with a title that lists so many random albums.  They couldve put a bit more effort into their front covers in my opinion as well

Hello, I'm offering this ticket as everyone i know is too busy and musically retarded to come to the gig.  The original guy who was going to come, is going away tonight and cant make it.   Thus, PM me with offers.  Obviously as the gig is tonight then I would have to meet the person prior to the gig.  Open to all offers.

General Board / Ben Kweller in MY university union!!!

« on: September 26, 2006, 03:27:43 PM »

As you might have guessed from the title of this thread, BK is playing in my uni union (Glasgow Uni QMU).  Its not quite as good as having Ben Folds but should still be an amazing gig.
Yep well, this was just an excuse to make people jealous , hope it worked.

General Board / Ben Folds Radioplay on Jonathan Ross

« on: July 08, 2006, 01:41:48 AM »

Just heard Jesusland on BBC Radio2 (10.35) on the Jonathan Ross show.  Introduced as "the great ben folds", i couldnt agree more.

I recently heard a discussion on Forth FM that mentioned Ben Folds.
Didn't quite get the relevance of it.
But anyhoo.
