Ben Folds Stole My Dreams

Really Ben Folds?

An album of college A Cappella groups covering your songs?

Could you be any cooler?

I mean, I may never be as fond as any of your new albums as I am of "Rockin' The Suburbs", but you are still damn cool.

First, you collaborated with Shatner.

And now this!

Do you purposely try to steal my dreams straight from my slumbers?

As most of my friends know, creating a "Choir Band" is one of my MANY outlandish goals in life.

Laugh if you will, but A Cappella and Choir music is amazing.

And of course Mr. Folds understands the power of an A Capella group. He would. Because he's kickass. We see eye to eye like that.

" 'Music education has been atrophying,” Ben Folds says. “And yet, at any given school, any number of a cappella groups are getting together a few times a week to rehearse and perform. What’s more is they’re really good.' An idea was born. 'If there are thousands of a cappella groups out there,' Ben says, 'it must be amazing to sing in them. I wanted to capture that magic.' And so Ben Folds—one part Jane Goodall, two parts Ahmet Ertegun—set out to recruit and record these university a cappella groups. You hold the result in your hands." - From his website, visit http://www.benfolds.com/acappella to read more.

I am buying it.

I am there.

It will be my inspiration.

To either go back to college and join a choir, or finally make my band happen.
