Ben Folds Five - Narcolepsy

The only thing more powerful than the chemistry in this band was Ben’s ego.

Rather than be pissed off about it, I choose to be glad they gave us three near-perfect albums before imploding.

Ben Folds Five - Kate (steelopus cover)

This one was simple and fun. Under 2 hours to learn and record it all.

I think it might be my best vocal performance of the entire project so far, which is relatively surprising to me because it’s really at the top of my range for pretty much the entire duration of the song.

(25 down. 15 to go.)

Ben Folds Five - For Those Of Ya’ll Who Wear Fannie Packs

For Sarah, who is having some bass-in-your-face issues today.

Ben Folds Five: “Battle of Who Could Care Less”

I’ve got this great idea
Why don’t we pitch it to the Franklin Fucking Mint
Fine pewter portraits
Of General Apathy
And Major Boredom
Singing
“Whatever and ever, amen”.

One of my favorite bridge sections of all time, it encapsulates everything that was right about this band: rock, quirk, and snark.
