Ben Folds Will Draw A Dick On Your Wall

But first you have to talk shit about the Dresden Dolls, Streets or Sufjan. Posted Monday on Mr. Folds's MySpace blog:

speaking of neediness in music or lack thereof... amanda of the dresden dolls, my new favorite band of all time, mentioned that she felt many people thought their music was TOO needy. hmmm... i told her to give me a list of who these people are and i will fly to their homes with a sharpie and draw dicks on their bathroom walls. see, after years of touring, i never succumbed that particular touring pastime . i never drew dicks on walls. but last year, i had to try it. i drew a dick on a brand new clean white dressing room wall. and you know what, it felt good. so i want to draw more, and amanda will hopefully tell me who's houses to go to. feel free to leave a message with your address if you have any criticism of the dresden doll's music at all. and i will come draw a dick on your wall. same goes for anyone who doesn't like the streets new record. or anything sufjan stevens does. there are a few others, who if you have a problem with, will draw the fiery wrath of my sharpie.... anyway, the dresden dolls will be making a few appearances with me in australia with the orchestras. if you comment with something nice about my favorite music, then i will draw a small child looking in wonderment at a beautiful butterfly (with a big dick).
Full entry here -- lots of info on Ben's upcoming projects.

Damn, I actually live in Nashville...kinda makes me want to talk shit about the Dresden Dolls just to see if he'll actually drive 5 minutes to draw a dick on my wall.

What about people who don't like Dr. Dre? What do they get?

You'll get boobies on your wall instead.

Apparently Folds has learned the art of self-portraiture.... Chalk me up as another Nashville resident who would like to see if he's good to his word.

I'll go with whiny and a new twist on the disappointing goth genre (as a whole) to describe the Dolls. I'll take the Folds drawing or a cash equivalent.
