I went to Ben Folds’s Myspace page and heard some pretty awful songs that were supposed to be on the new record. I later found out that he recorded nine joke versions of songs to leak on the internet intentionally.

“Hiroshima” apparently isn’t a joke song though, and I am still crossing my fingers that the album won’t be disappointing. Ben Folds hasn’t let me down before. I don’t know why I’m so skeptical now. The clips on the Rolling Stone article give a decent idea of how the record is. It seems pretty produced/electronic, so far. I guess we’ll just see.
