bringing charges against ben folds
This blog was originally posted to The Dresden Dolls Diary.
so, ben folds sent me an email in which he suggested i sue him for ripping off the dresden dolls.
please weigh in.
a version of his album recently leaked on the internet, including the track “brainwascht”
which, according to mr. folds, was lifted rawther directly from “backstabber”.
you’ll have to go listen for yourself: http://www.box.net/shared/q1fl8nftbk
(for those of you who want to hear the whole “leak”, grab it here or here while supplies last* – please share amongst yourselves if these links dry up, though)
all in favor for suing ben folds, raise your hands!
think of the fucking PR! perfect timing! seriously.
and i’m in the UK. they live for that shit. i’ll be in the tabloids at last.
after that, i’m bringing charges against pete doherty for fucking my wife.
and after that, paternity charges against beth ditto. yeah.
it’s gonna be an excellent year!!!!!!!!!!!!!
in other news, ben folds also just released an amazing fucking video for the song you’ve all been asking about
(“cologne”….the very one i’ve been opening the show with).
he had invited me to be part of the “piano orchestra” a few months ago but i couldn’t make it….and i’m wicked kicking myself.
god dammit, i wish i’d been there. best. video. ever. the whole thing is filmed at ben’s in nashville…
the same studio where i made the record….and slept, and wrote, and mixed, and did Noga every day.
in fact, if you look at the top of the stairs (where the naked guy with the tamborine is standing – yum) that’s where my bed was 🙂
love from londontown

p.s. PRAWNs
p.p.s. for those of you asking EXACTLY where we’re going to be playing footsie tomorrow…sorry, “footie”….we’ll be in the main triangle green of sheperd’s bush.
take tube to central holland park and walk or take hammersmith to sheperd’s bush. i assure you….you won’t be able to miss us. we’ll be the ones playing soccer, looking like idiots. BRING CAMERAS, by the way. if enough of us take video, we can pool it and make a movie about “being free”.
(* the real-deal ben folds album is due out september 30th and you can order it in all sorts of varieties, apparently…)
