Cruising, as you do, the digital corridors of your local iTunes store looking for more 79p pieces of instant gratification (because of course, one no longer buys albums) I found myself wondering what Ben Folds was up to. Mr Folds, NYC uber-cool geek-punk/pop/piano maestro has long been a favourite ever since I saw him play ‘Philosophy’ on ‘Later’ and then seeing the man in person at the Manchester Academy a million years ago.
Anyway, here’s a review of one his albums. It’s just perfect and chimes….rich with the sense of an underground zeitgeist about to burst…As for me I am now only buying original wax cylinders featuring Edison’s voice.
