Sorry, Break this is only available on MuchUSA, which, strangely enough isnt
available in Canada. So I guess the buck gets passed back to you guys. :)
Your friendly neighborhood Canucklehead,

Subject: Song for the Dumped on radio
Hey-
WBCN, 104.1 in Boston plays Song for the Dumped. I know that this song has
been talked about a lot, but where exactly can you get it. I'm sorry if this
has been mentioned before, but I forgot.
Later,
Chris
[It's on the "Mr. Wrong" soundtrack album. -fjm]

in reference to "my first bf5 experience":
too bad you missed BF5 in Austin at the electric lounge a couple of weeks ago
(Feb 11). that was such a great show! it's hard to believe that they come
across better live than on their album. i got my cd signed, got a picture
(they actually posed for 3 pictures with my friends and i). i am so
sad...i'm gonna miss the sxsw show! i also missed them when they came with
heather nova back in september.
i caught onto BF5 through the magazine CMJ new music monthly, they had
"Underground" on the september issue. i am forever grateful!
it's so nice to find a group of BF5 fans!!

I am looking for Ben Folds Five boots. High quality prefered, but not a
must. I have over 120 hours of Dave Matthews Boots and quite a few Jeff
Buckley boots to trade with.

yes, video killed the radio star was recorded by bff for an upcoming cd
originally called "one hit wonders", but the name has apparently been
changed to "wonderama". anyway, it still isn't available yet.

1. ABC In Concert - not airing March 1 as was previously set. Probably

waiting outside the venues after the shows, waiting at their hotels,
waiting at the train stations for autographs!!!! They are Pop Stars!
3. Tour dates:
3/9 Seattle Moe's
3/11 Salt Lake City Bar & Grill
3/12 Boulder, CO Fox Theatre

==============================================================================
[We've gotten a few subscription requests from Japan sites in the last
few days. I'll do a tabulation of subscribers hopefully in the next week
or so, when I get a chance. Also, I see the list above still has the SXSW
show on it. I had heard that it was cancelled. Can someone in Austin try
to verify the situation?
I have also updated the web pages to add many of the radio stations
that people have let me know about, along with links to their pages - an
interesting diversion in itself. Also the lyrics for "Eddie Walker" are
online, and I've put in a search link to Yahoo, from which you can spawn
other search engines. I will get the digest backlog taken care of,
hopefully in a couple days.
A friendly reminder - when replying to the digest, be sure to change
the subject from "Re: Ben Folds Five Digest, Issue #xx" to something
meaningful about your message.
Finally, any suggestions for a list "name"? Like "Sports & Wine with
Uncle Walter" or "Summer B's Philosophy"... -fjm]
