Not a fan of ben folds right now. I drove up to see him play in oklahoma on friday and he cancelled two hours before the show. :( No refund... they said he would reschedule.

Fucking British! So disrespectful. I didn't like how he kept interjecting like that. But...seriously, despite that, great track.

Thank you for this.

In the words of the immortal Steve Sanders, after seeing the Lips at the Peach Pit After Dark, "I don't usually like alternative music, but these guys rock!"

Neil Hannon is great with the covers. I am desparately seeking a recording of The Divine Comedy doing QOTSA's "No One Knows" which they have been doing on tour.
