Subject: What are BFF??
"But when I try to tell my friends about
BF5, they always ask, "What are they like? Compare them to
someone". The best response I can come up with is:
they are a cross between Queen, Phish, and Supertramp.
Can anyone else think of a better description?"
I heard someone describe them as Billy Joel meets Nirvana, which I
thought was quite accurate.

Subject: London gig - 1st July
Hi everyone,
Firstly, and most importantly, if anyone is going to the Sheperds Bush Empire
gig on 1st July and would like to meet up, then e-mail me at
Richard_VP@msn.com and I'll try and sort something out. I'm only going in a
two, so it would be fun to make up a bigger group!
UK people might be interested (or annoyed) to find out that SB Empire have
sold out of standing (downstairs) tickets. I don't know whether Ticketmaster
or someone like that would have more though.
Anyway, being a dedicated follower of fashion (hmmm), here's my top ten album
list: (please note than all except 1 to 4 change weekly <s>)
1. Ben Folds Five BFF
2. Ben Folds Five Whatever....
3. Beatles Abbey Road
4. Beatles Rubber Soul
5. Patti Rothberg Between the 1 and the 9
6. The Divine Comedy Casanova
7. Oasis Definately Maybe (ignoring their attitude problem)
8. Sheryl Crow Sheryl Crow
9. Jamiroquai Travelling without Moving
10. Ocean Colour Scene Moseley Shoals
On a related note, the 0 went up to the 8 and said 'Nice belt'

| the tape it rocks the world.
I second that emotion. As soon as I got that tape back from Gina it went into
my normal listening cycle. I LOVE live stuff. Nothing quite like the image
of all the fans and the band playing and everybody dancing...

Subject: Taping @ Toronto
Just thought I'd let everyone know about what happaned when I tried to
tape the Toronto show.
I got into the bar no problem with my gear. I set up my mics and my DAT
and then someone came over and asked. "Who told you you could tape."
I said "I understand that BFF allows taping for non-commercial use". He
ran off to ask. He returned with another guy who said that I was not
allowed to have mics. I took down my gear and packed it up.
The first guy who asked me what I was doing was the sound guy for
BFF and we ended up talking gear and he even got me a beer. The show
was great and the band taped it.
With everyone wondering about tapes I would have to say that unless a
taper is taping stealth (a pain in the ass to do) there will not be good
quality BFF tapes available to fans. I tried and the band asked me to take
down my equipment.
