Just thinking about them, the melody of "Vegetable Kingdom" has popped into my head. I guess I need to catch up.Mike Bennetthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13601399174812705430noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7291941374680297943.post-8640587163545312962008-11-11T09:50:00.000-06:002008-11-11T09:50:00.000-06:00I've despised Ben Folds' music from the beginning,...I've despised Ben Folds' music from the beginning, despite his obvious smarts and talent, for all the reasons you express very succinctly in this review. Now that he lives here in Nashville, I keep worrying he'll be behind me in Grimey's while I'm dissing him... but I'm not that worried, I think I can take him.<BR/><BR/>Did you ever check out Fluid Ounces? Seth Timbs is a contemporary of Folds, rather than an imitator, but he does everything Folds can do better and with real heart, yet his career will always be short-circuited by people hearing him and saying "oh, he's ripping off Ben Folds." Sigh.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10366460636950205181noreply@blogger.com
