Ben Folds Five plays again

… So I didn’t get to see the Ben Folds Five reunion performance last night

Kates and I were running around the house trying to get Phoebe fed, trying to get ourselves fed. And I was bent over the sink washing dishes, more specifically baby bottles, when the thought of the concert hit me like a brick …

I bolted to our downstairs office and logged on to MySpace …

Only to find out MySpace wasn’t even streaming the show. Ack!

However, internet stories and rumors have it that the show will be streamed sometime next month, and we can only hope that it will be released on DVD, same as the MySpace gig Folds did a couple years ago, shortly afterward …

By the accounts I’ve read, it sounds like it was the show of a lifetime. The guys played Reinhold Messner --complete with Dean Folds stepping out for “Your Most Valuable Possession” -- and some real BF5 classics in an encore set …

Just reading about it makes my heart melt ...

Here's a review of the show ...

And here’s some other good reads I discovered surrounding last night’s show …

And while we're celebrating Mr. Folds, check out the new video for his first single from the new album, featuring the one and only, Miss Regina Spektor ...

The video's a little weird, but the song's growing on me big time ...
