Most people know Ben Folds is one of my favorite musicians. When I say “most people,” I do mean most people in the world. Some people may also know that I’m a follower of Improv Anywhere and hope to be involved one of these days.
This would have been one mission I would have liked to be involved with. Improv Anywhere invaded two of Ben Folds’ New York concerts, with help from the band. Good stuff. Read it.
(Note the personal website reference, not the more usual location.)
I own one Ben Folds album, though I’ve never spent time to get to know it. I’m quite fond of Brick (of course), Magic, and Kate. These three songs are all stellar. But the other stuff I’ve heard never quite catches my fancy. I need to add some Ben Folds as part of a larger iTunes playlist so that I can become accustomed to it.
Oh yeah — I *love* his cover of The Cure’s In-Between Days. Bloody awesome. (Of course, I love all covers of the songs I used to listen to in high school.)
