kudos to mr. folds

so this past weekend when i went on my shopping binge to purchase christmas gifts i decided to be a little selfish and get myself something. so i went to circuit city to get "a charlie brown christmas" but instead purchased "mean girls" (hehehe, i love that movie!) and a ben folds dvd. (i never ended up finding the charlie brown christmas dvd...) i've never been a big big ben folds person (i know he has a die hard following, kind of like phish but maybe not so radical) anyways, something told me that this would be a good purchase. i enjoyed his most recent cd and feel that as i progress in age (gosh, that makes me sound old... i turn 22 in SEVEN DAYS!!! hehe) i appreciate more and more simple piano rock. but the one thing that affirmed why i needed to make this purchase -- it was ben folds performing with a full symphonic orchestra! i know i get excited over the dumbest things but just the thought of it sounded beautiful. so i bought it came home and popped it straight into my dvd player.
let me just say that this eighty minute performance was amazing! there were no songs off the new album so i only knew a few but all in all it made me appreciate the man so much more. (who is also i believe a nashville native or at least lived here for a while)
sooo, i cannot believe i just blogged about the ben folds dvd... but i guess, in the end i love music and this year has been a great one for music and to end the year with what will probably be my last music related purchase of the year, i must say it was a great way to end 2005 :)

i highly recommend this dvd :)
