I Do the Best Imitation of Myself

I've been a fan of Ben Folds Five for over three years now and I still think they rock hardcore. However a very sad thing has happened.


They are breaking up!!! :*-(

Ben Folds Five is a band. There are three members. They are Robert Sledge, Ben Folds, and Darren Jessee.

There is no lead guitar in the band because there is no need for it. Ben Folds Five, influenced equally though not directly by Cole Porter and the Clash, deliver high energy shows with just piano, bass and drums. All three members sing, but Ben sings the most. The band has released four records so far, the first two were recorded in North Carolina by Caleb Southern. Ben Folds Five live in Chapel Hill, N.C. This came from the official BF5 site.

I guess some of that is not true. I got that information before Ben got married and even before the last two albums came out. Just to update you a little bit Ben just had twins a couple of months ago. There names are Gracie and Louis to be exact, and they are really adorable! He married a lady named Frally. I'll have to get some pictures.... Last April BF5 released their fourth album called The Unathorized Biography of Reinhold Messner. If you have not heard you really should go check it out.

Did you know Ben Fold's Five is actually mentioned in a Counting Crows song?

Jay Leno admits to being a huge fan himself. Who knew?!

There are my mens!

Some of my Favorite BF5 Lyrics

"Sometimes I punch myself hard as I can yelling nobody cares hoping someone will tell me how wrong I am." -"Boxing"

"Your 'problem with you' speech you gave me was fine, I liked the theories about my little stage, I swore I was listenin' but I started drifting around the part about me acting my age." - "Best Imitation of Myself."

"The cruelest lies are often told without a word, my my, the kindest truths are often spoke but never heard." - "Last Polka"

"I know it's cool to be so bored But it sucks me in When you're aloof It sucks me in, it sucks it works I guess it's cool to be alone" - "Battle of Who Could Care Less"

So don't you know I'm numb, man No I don't feel a thing at all Cause it's all smiles & business these days And I'm indifferent to the loss I've faith that there's a soul Whose leading me around I wonder if she knows Which way is down...
