Subject: Re: Brick: The Video
"... I'm glad Brick didn't win, they did
have the best song, but I don't want to hear BFF on the radio and I
don't want them to become so popular that everyone listens to them.
Maybe thats just me."
I know the feeling, but you have to think about this. Ben Folds Five
deserves whatever fame they may get, and though it's somewhat cool to
have a band all to yourself, youve gotta keep the band in mind. They
don't want just a few real fans, they want a lot. They don't want to be
popular among a select group, the want to be a SUCCESS.
Just think about it.
Hillary

Subject: Vinyl Justice
I was justr watching VH1's Vinyl Justice when Officer Brady asked a whole
bunch of old people if they liked BFF. And then they all broke out singing
"Brick." Very badly I might add.

Subject: Rhapsody/Philosophy
Since the "Rhapsody in Blue" discussion has been resurrected, I thought I
would post a link to a clip of "Rhapsody" so everyone can hear it for
themselves if they'd like.
http://www.ionet.net/~jcj/gershwin/sounds/
Click on rhapsody.mid or rapinblu.mid.
It's pretty long, so if you just want to hear the part that Philosophy is
taken from, fast forward to the last fourth of the song.

News Flash!!!
Send a self-addressed stamped envelope to:
Ben Folds Five
PO Box 1028
Chapel Hill, NC 27514-1028
Two weeks later, you'll get a lyric sheet for the self-titled album and a
sticker that is set up like the cover to WAEA with a big brown "5" on it and
pix of the boys the same as the album (cept for ben's which is different for
some strange reason). My first thought was: cool, I finally found BFF
stickers...and only for $0.64
I'm gonna send like 5 next week

Subject: BFF at School
The weirdest thing happened to me today. I was walking to my 4th period class
and I noticed a locker sign that said "Give me my money back" on it. I have no
idea what the rest of the sign said or what the sign was for, but I was
thrilled to see something regarding Ben Folds 5 at school. Just to keep myself
sane during swim practice I taped BFF and my coach plays it during practice.

Subject: just cuz you want to know
Today, 7th hour, after I squeezed my way through the disgustingly crowded
halls of my high school, I opened the doors to my band room for class... We're
playing She's Not There, an oldie BUT a goodie, and Smoke on the Water... Hows
that for band music?!?! But, the Bentent to this post; some nerdy guy was
sitting at the piano playing Brick at like, warp speed... At first, I was
like, This isn't Brick.. But is it??? It was, and it was a tad shocking to
hear that at my stuck up, Abercrombie-sportin, rich, Daddy bought me a new
Mustang, type of school...... Music to my ears, I tell ya!!!!

Subject: Re: Magical Armchair Digest V1 #1213
Okay, people. Here's my take on MTV, as well as the awards... MTV doesn't
know what the heck they're doing for one. Remember the days when they had
VJs and all they did was play videos with a minimal number of breaks? They
make programming, a lot of which I hate (Real World, Loveline, etc.) and
expect us to watch less videos. When they *DO* show videos, they have to
constantly interrupt them. It wouldn't be so bad, except it's the only time
they show videos, so that cut into them expecting us to be totally
interested in someone making a request. The Artist's Cut shows are cool,
but like I said before, they cut in and interrupt the videos and when they
don't spend time at any other point in the day showing videos in their
entirety, we lose it. I also hated it when they had 12 Angry Viewers. They
always picked the shallow types to be on the show and they rejected any kind
of cool video (like Sean Lennon's "Home"). So, the crappy video they would
pick that week would get heavy rotation and the ones that suffered are
hardly ever seen. AND, it seems like the only videos I ever see aside from
120 Minutes are Rap videos, getting played in their entirety. At the same
time those videos are on, BET is doing the same thing, so those of us who
don't like Rap are stuck.
Anyway, so who cares who gets what award? It's all a bunch of bunk anyways.
We know what's good. MTV is the one with the problems. They don't seem to
have a clue.
I'm just venting. Sorry, guys. I just want to see more Rock videos as well
as BFF videos other than "Brick".
*whew* I think I feel better.

Subject: Vinyl Justice
This is a pretty weak post, but I just saw a bunch of truck driving hicks
singing "Brick" on Vinyl Justice. The funny thing is that before the show
started I was wondering if they were ever going to mention the boys.
Anyways...

Hey there...
I was downloading new software for my ZIP drive today, and I follwed a link
to a software package called RecordIt. Basically it's a package to copy
your CDs onto zip disks. Anyway, at the top of the page they have a picture
of headphones, a zip disk, and two CDs. And, one of those two CDs is
Whatever And Ever Amen! Hmmm...a clever plug by Sony or what?
You can see the picture at

You just can't shake these guys anymore...

I missed the VMA house of style-does anyone know if it's going to be rerun?
and does this mean ben actually went to the VMA's? If he did, that sucks,
because mtv never showed him once.
