Hey all- Ummmm. So I'm confused. (Not that THAT is new... but still.) So I'm hooked up to DotClick while listening to some music and I throw on my "Big Ass BeFeF Mix" and all of a sudden I get a "Concert Alert." (DotClick "listens" to what I'm playing and will alert me if they have a new album out or concerts in my area as well as telling me who else likes the same group etc etc etc.) So I get a concert alert while listening to 1 Angry Dwarf. I'm like "What What What?" Huh? Gotta be a glitch in the system, because this can't be a concert alert for Ben Folds Five, right? So I click on the flashing concert alert and I was taken to the following tidbit: Band: Ben Folds Five Date: 07/16/01 Venue: Belly Up Tavern City, State: Solana Beach, CA Hmmm. So is this Belly Up Tavern as in "belly up to the bar" or is it "we feature music by artists who have gone belly up."? Inquiring minds want to know... So I tried to do some research, and found that Ben is putting out a new album. Nope, it's not going to be Fear of Pop-esque, either. All y'all might already know all this, but I didn't so I thought I'd share. Here's the link to Frank Maynard's page that has the skinny on the new record: http://www.fmaynard.com/bff/ It's a very funny letter from Ben, actually. So I'm guessing that the announcement about BF5 is really just about BF1. :) And apparently there are other dates as well... this too from Frank's page: July 17: Tucson, AZ - The Rock July 18: Albuquerque, NM - Sunshine Theatre August 18: Staffordshire, UK - V2001 Festival, Weston Park (Tentative) August 19: Chelmsford, UK - V2001 Festival, Hylands Park (Tentative) Just sharing... Hope all is well with all of you! - -Anne Jane, Be Jane. _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com ------------------------------ End of The Rockford Files V4 #16 ********************************
