I've heard enough awful acapella Ben Folds covers for 10 lifetimes. Never go to a small school with a big theater program. On the plus side there were a few plays with some amazing female nudity.

You didn't go to DePauw, did you? If you went to anywhere like it, you have my sympathy.

Also, Ben is awesome, but not quite right in the head. But he's not quite right in the head in a good way, not in a Billy Corgan way.

It's weird I met this guy once, apparently an ex-girlfriend knew him. I don't remember many of the details as it was a wildly unexeptional moment in a life full of moments.

- Most pointless overshare EVAH!

Whether you like Ben Folds or not, you have to give props to the man for listening to his fans and re-releasing his latest album without the loudness mastering.

I didn't mean to disrespect the man. He was wildly competent at what he does, and as a competely failed Piano Man whose career peaked at a 12 year-old recital version of PONY POLKA, it's just that it wasn't my bag. My sloppy garage rockin' bag.

- Should probably double up on the showers.

Seriously? You're all shiatting on Ben FARKING Folds? If I wasn't drinking all night long, I'd have enough retort intelligence to tell you that Ben is not only a genius song writer/composer/piano player, but he is better than 99.9% of the crap out there today.

and watching yuppies barf off of wine makes for
an hilarious evening.

Unless Here Comes Treble covers "Philosphy", I don't wanna hear it.
