And talking of Christmas presents, here's one that I'd like. Actually, call it an early Christmas present, because I'd quite like it to be in my possession by late Nov. This is a new Ben Folds live DVD and it's apparently out on 28 Nov in Australia and 6 Dec in the US. So no, I'm not entirely sure when it's out here, then. But hopefully around the same time.
The recording is of Folds' two concerts with the 83-piece Western Australia Symphony Orchestra back in March. 'Ben Folds And WASO Live In Perth' features behind-the-scenes footage of Folds and an interview in addition to the live recordings of some of my favourite Ben Folds songs. Folds continues the orchestral theme next month when he plays three shows with the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra.
Here's your tracklisting for the DVD. They're all crackers:
Zak and Sara
Smoke
Fred Jones Part 2
Boxing
Annie Waits
Brick
Steven's Last Night in Town
Evaporated
Rock This B*tch
The Ascent of Stan
