An awesome improv interview about the future: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JRzdWS__IjE
And a longer intimate interview about some of the history of the reunion that might not be so well covered in other interviews: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FtLz2Y03xe8

Ben Folds just tweeted back to me. Apparently, "Past Lives" (I think its been renamed "Love Into the Light"), the last track, has his strings.

News / Re: TSOTLOTM Official Hal Leonard Transcription Book
« on: November 23, 2012, 01:01:36 PM »
Mine came the other day. It's a great book. The transcriptions are great: very clear about when distinguishing between an arrangement of another instrument for piano, and adding extra bars on occasion (i.e. "Draw a Crowd" has electric piano and acoustic piano separated in a few parts).
If I had one, then my one grievance with the sheet music would be the transcription of "Do It Anyway." It's accurate I think, but they wrote in 4/4 what I would transcribed in only one measure of 4/4 for the sake of simplicity (1 1/4 note = 256 or something like that; way too fast on the page turning, etc.).

General Board / Alicia Witt?
« on: October 15, 2012, 06:26:27 AM »
I've noticed that Ben has been promoting/mentioning Alicia Witt a lot on Twitter. Anyone know if they've collaborated on something, or the heavy Twitter activity is account of their being fans/friends/something similar?

Tim Reynolds is listed second name, about 33 lines in on "Vice-Presidents of Promotion cont'd." Is this Tim Reynolds of DMB fame?

Album Board / Nataly Dawn song for BF5 album?
« on: September 22, 2012, 07:57:02 PM »
Does anyone else remember Ben mentioning a collaboration/Sonny & Cher style song with Nataly Dawn on the new record? Is this the song they didn't release?
I have not yet received and therefore read the liner notes. It's possible that she's singing background on some track ("Hold That Thought"?), and I just can't tell.

"Sentimental Guy" to the best of my memory is from the Whatever and Ever Amen era. I forget where I read that, but I remember this coming up a few times.

Transcription / Do It Anyway Chords
« on: September 19, 2012, 03:52:12 PM »
Just was playing around and noticed it's almost all
Dm and then F
The bridge is something like Gm Bb Gm Bb C
Also there's a fun piano riff in the right hand in upper registers that basically goes like G#AF over and over really fast.

He just tweeted it. Eddie Walker (the real one) is a band member, and so is Steve Willard.
Adult-friendly kids music.
