Chiori,
Thanks for the nice long post regarding the last Tokyo show. I noticed a
song in the set list that I've never heard of before: Mitchell Lane. I live
in Chapel Hill and some of my best friends live on Mitchell Lane, here.
It's a street with a couple of group houses that are quite famous for their
large parties. In fact, Summer Burke (Summer B.) used to live in one of
those back in the time when she was dating Darren. Anyhow, what was the
song like? Anybody else ever heard them play it? Thanks y'all from a long
time lurker.
Jefree

doing the opening to Mr. Rogers. It would be awesome. Can't you hear him
singing it.>
Then someone else wrote:
<<This is the greatest thing i have heard in a loooong time!
It should be done asap!>>
I think that a while back, Ben played the opening part of this tune at
some show that I heard sometime - If I'm not mistaken! Can anyone help
on this?
As for the opening band vote, good idea since BFF are pretty famous for
playing with lame bands (except for Snuzz) like Komeda, Shark's Quest,
Counting Crows, etc. However, what's the point? I mean is Ben Folds Five
gonna take our recommendations seriously and go out and ask the band that
we suggested to play w/them? If so, COOL! But it sounds unlikely...
Sorry about the pessimism, I'm in a crappy mood today :(
I better go listen to some BFF and Jellyfish to cheer me up, bye.

Hello Fivers, Beanie Bennies, Folders, Armchairers, etc...
Today I happened to stumble on two free copies of "Battle" on vinyl - they
seem to be UK releases - are they promo items? Official? Why would a store
in Boston, MA have these, and why would they be given away for free?
