September 13, 2011... exactly ten years and two days after "Rockin' the Suburbs" was released.

Hi ICE friends,

I had the great pleasure of interviewing Ben Folds about BEST IMITATION and much, much more. Check out the interview at The Second Disc:

All best,

Listening to this on Spotify right now. Really like the symphonic version of Smoke.

Also disappointed to not see any version of Emaline, which is possibly my all-time favorite BF5 song.

P.S. This is available as a single-disc best-of and a 3-CD anthology. Got my copy af the latter today at 'Rama.

I reviewed the Ben Folds set over at my audioblog:
http://www.record-racks.com/?p=392

Also, to add on to what Jimbo said about there being multiple configurations, I did a rundown of that as well on my Release Tuesday list:
http://www.record-racks.com/?p=394

The live disc has a stunning version of Selfless, Cold, & Composed that as a solo version just really nails the mood of the song even more.
