Hey I would just like to ask something to all you BF5 fans. How are you
people seeing all these BF5 music videos on television? I have not seen one
except for downloading them from the internet to show on my computer. Are
they ever on MTV or VH1? I never see them. Well thanks I just wondering.
See ya!

<< 4. I was looking over a pile of song lyrics for reasons I don't want to
go into here, and I noticed (probably belatedly- soemone else likely
made this point when I was looking the other way) that the Beatles
'Being for the benefit of Mr Kite' (off the Sgt. Pepper album) >>
Yeah! I mentioned this before and no one else said anything, good or bad. I
hear the similarities everytime I listen to it, the music is also similar.
Anyway, whenever I hear T&M that's the first thing that pops into my mind.
Okay, I guess I'm just agreeing.
cheerio,

Wait! you saw SFTD the video? As in music video? I have never
seen it in my life! You are so lucky!
Okay, I don't have much money lying around, so I never get to buy
cd's. Well yesterday for the first time ever, I saw NBP in my local cd
store. I practically jumped up and down and screamed. I actually
brought money and everything! So I bought it! I still have an
adrenaline rush. I probably made myself look like a fool, but it was
NBP and BF5 and I was dancing! I know it doesn't sound interesting to
you, but it sure made some employees laugh for a while. I was actually
paranoid about leaving the cd in the car while we went to the movies. I
wanted to weld the thing to my body.....Okay that's enough rambling for
now.

Come on now, the person who posted beforehand did not mean to bash Ben's
clothes. She was merely saying that she did not find it appealing for someone
as great as BEN FOLDS. She specifically said that Ben was great and it didnt
matter what he wore, he'd still be great. just thought I'd put in my two
cents.

Hey all,
Not to beat and already thoroughly beaten dead horse, but I was
listening to the radio the other day and on came AC/DC's 'shook me all
night long' song. And I was picturing in my head the guys doing it, it
was really wacky, but it would rock as a cover I think. Sorry for
bringing that back up again but hey...
Take it easy, have fun, and be safe,
Dustin

yeah, i want apologize to lauren talbot and the rest of the armchair.
I feel correct for what i said but i apologize for putting up crap on the
armchair. Please excuse my behavior, and excuse my "childish" actions.
The letter in response was mailed to the armchair but was intended only for
Lauren. It just bothered me that she would accuse the Underground for not
being decent. The way i went about it was absolutly wrong. Sorry...
My sincerest apologies....

Subject: Sheet Music Book
I am with you Garrett on getting them to reprint the book. We should make a
petition and have everyone sign it (I mean who doesn't want to play BFF on the
piano) and send it in. Maybe its just me but I get really pissed that they
would only make a few when so many people in my opinion would buy them.
Anyways I just had to express my feelings on that.

Subject: misc.
- - Tonight I went with my sister and her friend to the Colonial Diner; we got
in the car, he turns it on, and all of a sudden it blasts "GIVE ME MY MONEY
BACK!" and I get all excited, I'm like, "hey is that the radio or a CD?" and
to my delight, it was a cd. but then he switched it to notorious b.i.g.
There's some eclectic-ism for ya. But that is torture, don't you think?
having BF5 in the car, but not being able to listen to it. It is his car, he
can do what he wants, but after a few more minutes of "i smack my bitch up,
grab a big mac, hit the sack" or whatever, I had to ask him to put BF5 back
on. And he did. yea. :) self-titled this time. ah, it is so much better
being trapped in the car with BF5 than biggie, don't you think?
- - Then, once we got to the diner, my sister ran into her friend amy. She
comes back to our table and was telling us about amy's new boyfriend. "He
looks like the drummer from Ben Folds Five," she said. Well, naturally that
piqued my interest, and I really wanted to see this guy! I've never seen a
darren lookalike before, amazingly enough. so as we were leaving i was trying
to find them, but they left. oh well. :)
- - Um, I was trying to think of some new exciting info, review, or question I
could put right here to make this post seem, i don't know, validated....but i
can't. so if you don't like these rambling kind of posts, i'm sorry!

Subject: Australian Discography,Web site input of concert pics,oz BOWCCL single.
Hi all.
Firstly for an assignment I am doing for my univiersity (college for
all you Americans!) course I am required to do a web page. So being a
BFF page what else could be better to do then sit and do hours and
hours of work on a BFF one??? Well anyway for the page I would like to
acquire some pics from concerts of the guys in action. eg Ben slaming
the piano, Robert getting into some bass, and Darren hitting the
drums. I want this to show what it's like at their fabulous concerts.
I would really like them to be from Aussie concerts as I am intending
the page to be made of Australian BFF content. But any good pics of
the guys getting into it would be great!
SO if you have any pics of this sort could you please email me at
this address. Of course the usual thanks and copyright will be put on
my page and of course a link to your page if you have one.
Secondly I am after a complete Australian discography. As my site will
be Australian orientated I wish to compile a discography of Australian
bff releases. Excluding those imported by some stores. So please could
you email me or direct me to a site where I could find up to date and
accurate info on this.
Which brings me to my third subject. Was BOWCCL released as a single
in Australia??? If it has I haven't seen it anywhere in Brisbane!! hmm
Are us "banana benders" (sorry about the Aussie expression there)
behind or something?!?!? So the usual... if any knows where you can
get it in Brissy (assuming it's available) I want to know!!!!!! And if
I find it somewhere I'll post it up where I found it to all you poor
Brisbanites
like me out there!!!
oh and while I'm on the subject of singles in brisbane. I have seen
OAD at HMV at garden city so if you're after a new copy...
Well that's all for now. Hope someone will help me out with some cool
pics for my assignment (which if it turns out well I will post to the
web using my ISP) for all to see.
cheers!
Paul.
