Subject: Counting Crows song
Hey everyone!!! I was just writing in response to Sarah asking about the
Counting Crows song with the quote about Ben Fold's on it. My boyfriend is a
big fan and I've heard that sound many time's. It's actually one of my
favorite by them and it's got a good beat. I beleive it's called "monkey" and
I beleive it's on the newest album. I hope you get to hear it. It's worth
it!!!
And about SNL, definately Brick as everyone thinks and the second song could be
anything really but I'm excited to find out!! I hope they are in at least one
skit. Robert is one of the funniest people I've ever met!! Pom-Pom's all the
way!!!!!
I'm still searching for SNL tickets too!!!!!

Subject: Paul McCartney issue
Actually, when I've played BFF for some of my friends to spark their interest,
they mentioned he sounded a LOT like Paul McCartney..... good or bad or
however you see it, but I really don't see it. I was wondering if anyone else
thought Ben sounds like Paul? I don't know, maybe theirs some psycho Ben to
Beatle trip going on there.......

Subject: Finals Stress Relief
For Those of Ya'll Who Have Finals Now:
My personal favorite stress reliever is jumping around my room, dancing to
"Bad Idea." Works really well, especially if you're kind of dreading going
home and seeing certain people like I am.
Our college government is taking suggestions for bands to play at our
spring weekend, and I was surprised at how many people mentioned BFF. I
didn't think they had a strong following here, especially since whenever I
wear my BFF tee I get asked a billion times, "Who's that?" I guess Brick
has really upped their exposure.

i watched snl just this last week and it said that ben folds five was
gonna be on the jan. 10 show. did anyone else hear this? b/c i don't
think it's different depending on where you live. (i'm in nebraska)

Subject: more tv appearances?
I was looking throught the Rock On TV listings for this week, and it says bff
will be on wednesday (letterman, but you all know that), then it said they
would be on thursday (12/18) and saturday (12/20). Anyone know where? I
checked around the pages but I have not found anything as of right now.
Also, for all us young ones on the list: hanson will be on letterman the night
after bff (according to entertainment weekly)! Oh man. I get to stay up past
my bedtime 2 nights in a row. If my parents let me. ;-)

Hey folks! Well, for my first trick, i'd like to ask a question..
When is BFF on Letterman? I know they are.. just not when.
And for my second act, i'd like to show off:
I have held in my hands Naked Baby Photos! No, not real naked baby photos, but
Ben Fold Five's new album! I didn't get to listen to it because we were kinda
in a rush (my friend has it at his house, but we had to scoot), but well, it
looks pretty! :) And sorry to dissapoint, but there arn't any naked baby
photos inside. Unless they're making a different copy between now and
distoday.
But anyway, that's about all i have to say for myself. See ya!
