Ben Folds' 'Hiroshima' Video
Categories: 90s, Band tees, random ramblings 1 commentsI first found out about Ben Folds and his group, Ben Folds Five when I heard the riveting "One Angry Dwarf and Two Hundred Solemn Faces" on my car radio while driving to work sometime in '98. I think it was the piano-rocking that grabbed my attention -- I never heard anything like it before! Listen for yourself:
Needless to say I became a fan. So I bought "Whatever and Ever, Amen" and mostly everything else he came out with. And then I added him on Myspace where I received the update that his next solo album following the 2005 solo release "Songs For Silverman" titled "Way to Normal" is coming out in September 30 of this year. Huzzah!

I can't wait for this "Way To Normal"- it's been way too long since "Songs for Silverman". I love pretty much every Ben Folds songs. I loved him with Ben Folds Five, but his solo work is just so different. I'm glad, though, that the classic Ben Folds sound has come back with the work he did on his last album.
I hope the album does well and that Ben will come out with an album more than once every three years!
