ben, tim, eric, darren - john
In honor of the upcoming Ben Folds Five one time only REUNION show in Chapel Hill this Thursday- an epic occasion I have seriously toyed with buying a plane ticket for- let’s post up the new Ben Folds video from his latest album. You would think that it would be hard to misstep with Tim, Eric and Ben Folds all in one tasty package but honestly this video doesn’t blow me away by any means. The BEST Ben Folds footage ever recorded to tape is by far their Sessions at 54th street set. The hanging picture cameo by Regina Spektor is nice in the new one tho.
UPDATE: apparently tickets for the BFF reunion sold out in 5 seconds or something absurd. 
Speaking of Ben Folds Five updates: check out this great and in depth interview with BFF drummer Darren Jesse over at A Special Way of Being Afraid. Here, he discusses his new band Hotel Lights, Kool Keith, and the Beatles. I am waiting on a good long interview with Robert Sledge now!
