Ben Folds, I really hate you…
I really do. No lie. I never liked anything Ben Folds and the name of his band, well, it just sounds like the Dave Clark Five, which was a crappier version of the Beatles..or the Monkees, not really sure what they were going for. Nonetheless, I think the reason this thought has been popping up in my head is because of his new-ish song, a cover/collabo with Regina Spektor, that I CAN’T GET OUT OF MY HEAD. You see, with this song embedded into my cranium, I’m starting to like the guy. I’ve always thought he has some talent, but never liked his music, but if he keeps up with this kind of stuff, I may have to cut the guy some slack. I still can’t believe I have a BF song in my iTunes, but then again, I have plenty of Regina Spektor and since he stuck to the formula on this song, I guess it makes sense I’d enjoy the song. Anyway, check it out here (with the video (sorry, Regina’s not in the video)) and lemme know what you think.

I normally loathe the music of Ben “I’m a goddamned piano-playing ninny” Folds, but out of politeness I’ll give this one a listen.
…hmm, it’s not that bad. Actually, it’s kinda catchy.
The song seems to be running through my head. In fact, I can’t stop thinking about it.
GET OUT OF MY HEAD, BEN!

[...] in plain ol Americuhn, I mean English (thanks, guys!) – You Aint No Picasso tells me that the Ben Folds/Regina Spektor song isn’t even the best song on the new album. Hmm…I might actually have to give it a shot. [...]
