World of Weird Al Yankovic

They got 52 of them...which is nothing to shake a Zappa 'stache at

Wow! Well, that's pretty impressive!

Only 52 albums? Man, if they are gonna do it, they should just get 'em all. I am now boycotting iTunes.

Fran Drescher has a blog over at Yahoo Health, all about her experience with uterine cancer. A very interesting read.

Ben Folds, on tv again:

Ben On Austin City Limits
Ben will perform on Austin City Limits Saturday October 29 on PBS. Check your local listings and mark your calendars!

I'm there even if he doesn't have that awesome tambourine player.....what was that guys name again?

I'm sure it'll be great, even without Al on tambourine.

from thesuburbs.org.uk:

Usually they pair an "on-the-rise" artist, usually of the indie leaning, with a more established artist.  Looks like Ben's performing with Ray LaMontagne, which promises a good show.

*goes to look up who Ray LaMontagne is*

More Ben news, there's a new live dvd coming!

Stay tuned for details of the upcoming Fall release of a live DVD featuring Ben with the Western Australia Symphony Orchestra in front of sell-out crowds at Kings Park in Perth, Australia. Recorded during a two-night-stand in March of 2005, Ben, his piano and the 83-piece symphony perform for over 70 minutes!

Nice!! Keep us updated.

There was a review of a live Rufus Wainwright/ Ben Folds show in my local paper this morning. The last paragraph reads: "That Wainwright and Folds aren't superstars on the level of Billy Joel and Elton John only speaks to the dysfunctional nature of the music and radio industries these days. Both musicians have a dedicated, loyal fan base that prefers odd men out to anyone who might be considered 'in'."-Chad Jones
