That time in 2008 when Ben Folds created and leaked an entire fake album with fake tracks with fake lyrics that had the same names as the tracks on his real album, just to fuck with the people who leaked real albums on the Internet, as was the custom of the time, and by the way that fake album rocked harder than the real one

Aaaaand here is the leaked album. “Rent a Cop” isn’t on here but it’s one of his goofy live show songs that rock

As a final note, Ben Folds was great to see live, he did a double headliner tour with Violent Femmes

@flyingsaceur my daughter’s 18th birthday present was me taking her to her first “big rock concert” when Ben Folds Five played The Warfield in San Francisco touring for “Sound of the Life of the Mind” and she still talks about that show and how great it was (and it ended up being a bunch of the tracks on the live release that followed, and it was recorded for AXS TV in its entirety so she has a full pro bootleg of her first show and that rules)
