Subject: Where are the singles?
Hello to the Armchair,
Ok, the music stores here really suck, so none of them carry BF5 singles.
Where can I order them? I saw earlier that you can order the Sesame St. theme
and others from somewhere, but I never got a reply form the person I asked
about getting it. So, if you could I would completly apprechiate it if some
one could help me out. PLEASE!
Thanks a whole hug-a -bunch! (anyone remeber those things?)

Praise the Lord! I wish some of that would spread up here to Dallas. The
local Best Buy has more copies of Whatever on their shelves then, well....
whatever. :)
Come on up here. We have plenty of copies that aren't being sold to all of
the annoying, "We're the next Seattle" grungites.
Oh well, I guess that was really pointless.

Ben is on what day? I know Martin Sexton is playing that summerstage
thing. If they both are I may just venture up to the city.

Sorry Glenn, but this is the BFF mailing list. The BBF list has moved elsewhere....
A clever person observed:

It takes a newbie to point out the obvious. Indeed, why should we eschew the "Magical Armchair" or derivations thereof (Armchairites etc..)? It's a name that all those of us there when it was being discussed voted on, so let's just keep it around that, huh?

???? This does my head in.. no slander, RESPECT. And "Lets Kick Off" was subsequently covered by Betty Swallocks.
And yup, fingers are ready to record BFF on TFI. No doubting they'll play "Kate", but I hope that they do an "It's Your Letters" too. Although nothing could beat that monkey man from Reef. Oh, and BRMB in Brum is playing "Kate" here and there...
Enough...

Yea, Zerocool (and all other Florida BFF fans).. it's pretty definite they're
not playing here. My friend is friends with Mark from Soul Coughing (who also
arn't going to be playing in Florida) and he said they're not going to be
down here.. well, i mean, i havn't seen anything in writing, but that's the
word. Hopefully they're come down here soon!!!

Subject: BFF and Toad
I was eagerly awaiting a live broadcast of a Toad the Wet Sprocket last
night. They played several mostly new songs from their new album (coming out
TUESDAY!), and they fielded call-in questions. One of the questions asked
was about other bands that Toad listens to or would like to meet. Well, what
do you know...apparently Toad are big BFF fans! They were really excited to
be on the HORDE tour with them this summer and they even joked that it would
just be their luck that Toad would play at one stage at the exact time that
Ben Folds Five would.
I am just completely excited that one of my favorite bands are fans of one of
my other favorite bands!!!
