Ben folds recorded a song

in tribute to elliott smith. I can't wait to hear that record. I have been listening almost exclusively to "From a Basement on a Hill" and the brilliantly realized "Smile" for the last couple of days because they are the only C.D.s I own not locked away in the garage waiting for me to move.

I have always thought that Ben Folds was a great complement to Elliott Smith. The sadness and the humor in their songs, the brilliant understanding of pop melody, the ability to be punk as fuck and be playing a piano always made sense. Anyway, I can't wait to hear it.

In other, slightly more bizarre news, Linsay Lohan is working to catch up with Hillary Duff and apparently has a single out. I haven't heard it yet.

There is a new Ben Folds song on the radio here which is a tribute to Adelaide. Perhaps it is on the same Compact Disc

Ben - punk as fork - Folds song about Adelaide is a good example of an outsiders perspective on the city - Noctilucent.
