[QUOTE=Akira;13483993]RtS is one of my favorite albums, but I like SfS too. Jesusland is great, and is Bastard.
But man, you don't get much better than Ascent of Stan or Carrying Cathy[/QUOTE]

It's so true.

Although, you know, I think a really underrated BF album is The Unauthorized Biography of Reinhold Messner. That has some of my favorite BF songs, period.

That act Bush signed the other day that includes suspending Habeas Corpus only suspends it for aliens.

Yeah, I know we moved on from that subject, but I just thought I would mention that.

I actually don't have that album, I need to get it.
I love how bass-driven the Ben Folds Five was. One Angry Dwarf has a killer bass line.

Oh, dude. You have to get it. What's your e-mail? I'll up it for you, right now.

Thanks man.

Hey, no problem. Anything for a fellow Romantic-era poetry hater and Ben Folds lover.

Are you going to watch the Myspace webcast Tuesday?

Amazing song. The piano work is sweet and it's funny.

Hmm, maybe you should eat something? What time of day is it over there?

I was just looking at my Jonas Hellsborg Chord book and thinking about Chris. It's weird not hearing Kubickis mentioned in every "What's a Good Beginner Bass" thread.

Ben has an amazing way of making curse words sound so pretty and polite.

That album should be in your inbox now.

:lol: I know, eh? I love that piano solo from, like 1:20-1:50.

Got it.

Thanks again.

lunch time, i don't know what to have though.. maybe i'll make a huge milkshake

I saw someone comment sometime that Ben Folds was a bad pianist because apparently he writes every song in C major.

Wtf?

Lawl.

Umm, that sounds good.


Ben, I laughed so hard at "God made us number one because he loves us the best".

He's not the best pianist ever, but he's probably one of the best singer/pianists. and he can pull a nice solo. That comment is pretty funny though.

Yeah. He's not the best, but he's far from unskilled.

i hate how people say songs are "bad" because they don't use a huge range of diverse keys, modes and chords/progressions.

I think simplicity can make a better song.
My big complaint with a lot of prog music is that bands concentrate on using half a dozen different really strange time signatures and as many keys while playing rediculously fast and because of that they forget to make the song sound good. Honestly, I can't see someone sitting down just jamming, trying to come up with a good riff to base a song on, and playing something in like 10/8. It seems to me you would have to say "Oay, I want to make a song in 10/8".

Yeah. I dunno about you, but when I just 'jam' my natural inclination is to play in 4/4.

4/4 and 12/8 are the most common signitures that people will play in while imporivsing i believe

12/8? :|

Seems a bit random.

meh, you can do it inadvertantly, after all you can still break it into 4/4
