Subject: New Album
The following information comes from Alan Wolmark, Ben Folds Five's
manager, who just returned from five weeks with the band in Europe.
The album will be titled, "Whatever And Ever Amen" and will be released in
the US on March 18, 1997. The titles, in order, will be "One Angry Dwarf and
200 Solemn Faces" "Fair" "Brick" "Song For The Dumped" "Selfless, Cold
and Composed" "Kate" "Smoke" "Cigarette" "Steven's Last Night In Town"
"Battle of Who Could Care Less" "Missing The War" and "Evaporated" (the
Japanese release WILL contain one extra track which will be "Song For The
Dumped" sung in Japanese).
Plans include a January promotional trip to Europe and Japan. Then a
European and UK tour starting on February 23. The US tour will start on
April 1 and there will be another Japan tour in May.
The album was mastered this past week, just after Thanksgiving, and the album
package was completed at the same time.
Happy Holidays from BFF and Alan Wolmark.

Hi all.
I am a digest/list veteran of the Tori Amos Really Deep Thoughts list, as
well as the old Prince Mailing List, now become the Paisley Park Mailing
List. They are both places I have gained appreciation for the music, as
well as rare trax that the artists and record companies are too dumb to
make widely available.
I got into BBF shortly after the CMJ disc featured Underground. It was
unlike anything I was hearing at the time. (It also featured Ed's
Redeeming Qualities, a band I could NOT find anywhere and still can't.) I
ran out the same day and looked for the album, finally going to the
regionally famous Let It Be records in Downtown Minneapolis to ask them to
order it.
I have been in love ever since. BFF have come to MPLS three times since
the album was released. The first time I missed them completely. The
second time they played an ID show in the 7th St Entry. The last time they
did this I was less than 17 days from my 21st B-day and they played their
last MPLS show in the 7th Street Entry.
I was irate. I still am. If anyone has any idea how I can find more BFF,
or would trade me a dub of the singles and any rare studio or live stuff, I
would be grateful. I am way down with this band, and have a rare dub of
them playing Where's Summer B? at the MPLS college radio station REV105,
the same ppl to break Soul Coughing wide open.
The song is in a featurette style, with an interview and clips of the album
cut back and forth before the song. It's a fun run through of the song. I
wish I had won their 'dine with BFF contest'...but alas I had to work.
Anyway...glad to join your ranks. Please let me know if there's any way I
can find more music, or if I can trade with anyone. I have amassed a large
collection of O(+>/Prince, and a fair collection of Tori Amos rare stuff,
all without breaking any laws and without paying a thin dime. So please
help me find this music I so covet. I have tried to find it and pay for
it, and I will continue to, I just want a dub to tide me over.
Thanks all...I look 4ward to chatting it up in the future here...

Hey the US has 10 times more people than us, so there's just going to be
more BF5 fans there. :P Canadian's, however, are more fun to perform for,
or at least that's what Lisa Loeb said when she played Toronto. If that's
any consolation. [She also said we had better beer. =)]
>Am I one of only a handful of people who have heard of these guys?
I dunno, of all the people I've told about BF5, only one had heard of them
(but hey, she thought they were cool), and the rest just said, "That's
weird. D'you really *listen* to that?" Apparently, we Canadians have some
catching up to do in the musical taste department.
>And better yet, has BF5 ever heard of Canada?
I don't think Carolinians like the cold.

To the best of my knowledge, they've played one show in Canada:
Lollapalooza (sp?) in Barrie (Molson Park). Frank could probably give a
diffinitive answer though.

Yeah, it's the same here... I haven't seen BFF mentioned in the big
promo ads along with the other bands appearing at the BDO. But, they are
usually mentioned in the back of Drum Media as appearing at the Sydney BDO.
And they were given a bit of a write up in Drum a few months back stating
that they had been signed for the BDO!!!
I'm thinking that they're not advertising BFF much, coz they're
sissies... And we know what all the other bands are like. Sepultura and
Soundgarden just don't mix well with Ben and the lads. :) That's why I
think they haven;t been promoted much.
But, I'd be looking out for a Phantom instore myself... TMBG did one
last time they were out.

You can vote on the internet too, which is really easy. I don;t think

Subject: Homophobia, BFF, TMBG, & TR
...in response to Bill Tatalovich:
Ben & co. seem to share the same sense of humor with bands like the
Dead Milkmen and the aforementioned They Might Be Giants- ie, easily
misunderstood. People who can blithely accuse artists they **only know thru
songs** have problems of their own. At a BFF show in New York last year
(opening for the hopefully-flash-in-a-pan Heather Nova) I noticed Ben milling
about at the side of the stage, kinda mumbled "Ben?", and proceeded to have
about a ten minute chat with the guy. No pretentions at all. In fact, all 3
seemed especially cool. Fear not what you haven't seen yourself- it's a hoax...
Now, for the burning question: I'd bet this ground has been covered
here before, but it's killing me... Are any other BFF fans also big-time Todd
Rundgren devotees? My friends keep telling me BFF and Todd (with or without
Utopia) are extreeemely similar sounding. I dunno, but I'd sure be interested
to hear what anybody else thinks. I think Mr. Folds is reaching an equal
plateau as Mr. Rundgren on my little musical depth chart...
Thanks!

Yeah, I would also like to know the answer to this Q. I, likewise, have
heard nothing from BDO advertising about BF5 being involved. What I have
heard is primarily word of mouth. (that's not to say that I don't trust the
little bird who told me BF5 would be there - I already have my ticket.) I
totally believe they will be there, but it sometimes worries me when every
band but BF5 (well, almost) is mentioned in ads. Also, surely they would not
come all the way down to Australia to do just one gig. Has anyone any word
of extra tasty morsels of BF5 while they're here?

At the LA2 show, Ben mentioned that the press in Oslo had made an error in
translating his "punk rock for sissies" quote. Ben said that they had
described it as "punk rock for faggots, puffs"
As far as I can see, Ben was quoting the press, and in no way was casting
a slur on the gay community. It was not said in an offensive manner,
merely a comical one at the Norwegians misunderstanding. I think that this
is a great overreaction by our friend
on the TMBG list....

No, that was (one of) the gig I was at. And at least three friends of mine
independently thought the same. There's a definite sound there.

Yeah, but the first one was pretty good. The Diggers were pretty s*** on

Oh, and some news too. Someone mentioned that BFF were in Q magazine's top
10 recommended albums of 1996. But also in the Q Awards, Ben Folds Five
were nominated by the readers for Best Newcomers (won by, hmm,
Alanis....), and Ben Folds was nominated by t he jury for Best Songwriter
(and Noel Gallagher wasn't. Ha! Oh yeah, um, Elvis Costello won it.
Somehow..). My web page
(http://www.geocities.com/SunsetStrip/5430/bff.html) has a round-up of the
various end of year polls that are or soon will be populatin g the
shelves. And if anybody is interested in Ben Folds views on the US
Government, there's a small piece in this months Select, on the events of
1996.

that they played Monkey. Adam's leg was messed up & he was limping all over

why I was dissapointed was that the opening act was Cake & they we so good
but everyone was talking the whole time they we playing. It was a waste of
money. Oh, if anyone wants to trade some cool BF5 stuff, I have a tape of

What Ben said was (this is from memory so it's not too precise) at the
London LA2 show. In reference to the 'Punk rock for sissies' thing. They
used it on promo stuff in Germany so...
In Norway they translate "sissies" differently so the audience were
shouting out "Fags" and "queers" (or something similar) all the time. He
laughed about it and, in fact, I guess it's pretty funny as it was just a
translation thing. So this is what makes Ben "Homophobic" I suppose.

until January for the Big Day Out at which Ben Folds Five is one of the
