I know it's a bit of a shock to see me posting after a long hiatus (i haven't died, just been busy with the shit i call PhD.................. and with that, HI, FML.).

but I went to see Ben Folds at the Sydney Opera house on sunday and today, I'm still tingling, my blood is boiling. He never fails to be awesome. We wrote in song request and he gets to picked songs from the basket of papers that literally made the concert hall a mess, managed to forget lyrics with sheepish smiles and crack the most inappropriate jokes and Almost Got Kicked Out by Management By Playing Something As Crass As BITCHES AIN'T SHIT. lol. Yep, still Ben, not in pubs but no less awesome for it.

This song he doesn't play very often solo, but he did on sunday. The first time I heard it live was with Melbourne Symphony Orchestra. I was with hooli , I believe? I remembered crying a little at the end of it. This song was so made for the orchestra.

This is with WASO

For all of you who didn't make it to Ben Folds.
