This week I are been mostly listening to 'Way to Normal' by Ben Folds. It's good.
I love Ben Folds. He produced and plays on most of the Amanda Palmer album I has been listening to.
Is the new album actually out, or is it just 'on the internet'?
It's out to buy in real, actual shops. Came out last week. Definitely worth getting. I'll probably get the Amanda Palmer album at some point, I have one Dresden Dolls album (Yes, Virginia) and it's aces.
Oh, and have you got the new Spinto Band record yet, Curio? Think that's out now.
My local record shop (the much maligned Zavvi) has neither Ben Folds nor Spinto Band in it. I shall be travelling to HMV at lunchtime to try to get around such shenanigans.
I actually tried to buy the Spinto Band CD in America last week, but it's not released over there yet, and the sales type people hadn't heard of them.
Bah.
I was actually worried that the Amanda Palmer CD might nto sound enough like The Dresden Dolls and that it would put me off. If anything, it sounds too similar! But it's still good. The first three tracks are tops, and it also contains a funny happy up-tempo bouncy number about being raped, having an abortion and eveyone hating you. Which is some achievement.
