Agreed. I don't like the cover for TUBORM too much at all, assuming of
course that those pictures on the website are the official CD art. Oh well.

Hello all. I havent' made a post here in a long, long time. I was just
wondering what the title of the new album is going to be. I've seen the
abbreviation for it but I dont know what it stands for

Subject: CD & VIDEO
Hey Armchair,
FYI, the "CD & video" package people keep asking about is being
released as a limited edition in the U.S. (and possibly other countries)
when "Unauthorized..." hits shelves Apr. 27. I don't have the
tracklisting of the video on me right now, but it's mostly live footage
from the last tour... featuring the usual suspects like "Jackson
Cannery," OAD, "Stevens," and others... plus "fly-on-the-wall" segments
from the recording of "Army" and "Don't Change Your Plans."
In their press, Sony is swearing it's a gift for the fans and "not
just another crass way to make money." Hee hee... we'll see... sounds
like a good deal anyway. Whole package will probably sell for around
$20, versus $14 for the CD alone.
your host with the most,
rICH

Subject: TUBORM release dates
Hey everyone, just a couple of points:
>From MA #1446:
>This is a question to the people who have advance copies of the new
album.
>Any reference to pot in it ?
>Their has been pot references in every other album and the demos so I
>was just wondering if they were carrying on the tradition.
Yes - there's a reference to the evil weed in the first single 'Army', in
fact. The second line goes:
Dad said 'Son you're fucking high'
Which can really only mean one thing...
Secondly - if you speak nicely to the manager of a small independent record
store, they'll probably let you have TUBORM as soon as they get in - most
likely the Friday prior to its release.

Subject: Redneck Past
Driving through Austin last night, I happened to be listening to The NExt
Big Thing radio show on 101.5, and they said, we'll be back with the new
Ben Folds Five. woo-hoo! The big surprise to me was they didn't play Army,
they played Redneck Past. It was a pretty cool song, not exactly
hilarious like some had said earlier, but I couldn't pay too much
attention to the lyrics, I was playing dodge the psycho truckers on Hwy.
21. It was a little Fear of Pop-ish with synth bleeps and squeaks. What
really struck me was there was no prominent piano in the song. I could
make out maybe a little in the background, but it definitely wasn't the
lead instrument of the song, like classic BFF. It just made me want to
hear the rest of the CD all the more...

Sunday at 12pm EST on MTV.
