Way To Normal

I did another one of my Nameless Twitter Radio Shows on Tuesday night. I only played songs written or performed by Ben Folds and Ben Folds Five. I had been thinking about doing an entire show dedicated to a single artist and decided to honor Folds first since his new album, Way To Normal, came out on Tuesday. Here's the playlist:

  1. You Don't Know Me (with Regina Spektor)
  2. Underground
  3. Kate
  4. Song For The Dumped
  5. Jackson Cannery
  6. Careless Whisper (Wham cover with Rufus Wainwright)
  7. Still Fighting It
  8. Tiny Dancer (Elton John cover)
  9. Bitches Ain't Shit (Dr. Dre cover)
  10. The Luckiest
  11. Bastard
  12. Rockin' The Suburbs
  13. Brick
  14. Bitch Went Nuts
  15. Best Imitation Of Myself
  16. She Don't Use Jelly (Flaming Lips cover)
  17. Losing Lisa
  18. Landed
  19. There's Always Someone Cooler Than You
  20. The Last Polka
  21. Cologne
  22. One Angry Dwarf & 200 Solemn Faces
  23. Still
  24. Battle Of Who Could Care Less
  25. Narcolepsy
  26. All U Can Eat
  27. Philosophy
  28. Army
As expected, the turnout for this show was far less than one of my usual shows. In fact, almost everyone left at the one hour mark and stopped making requests. Apparently, they either got tired of the Folds-only format or I had already played all the songs everyone knew. Only The Honeas and Seriously Mama continued to feed me with repeated requests. Thanks, guys!

Next week's show will feature songs from soundtracks/movies. Here's a warning: I will not be playing anything from Grease, Top Gun, Dirty Dancing, or the worst song of all time, (Everything You Do) I Do It For You. I'm sure there will be many other songs that will blacklisted once I think of them (like My Heart Will Go On (thanks, Will!)). Gonna try to keep the schmaltz at a minimum. We'll do cheesy love songs some other night, kids.

Song of the day: All U Can Eat by Ben Folds
