If you haven't heard, I have a new obsession with Ben Folds**. I liked Ben Folds Five, but didn't really hear much of his solo stuff unless it was on the radio (everyone has probably heard Brick). PLEASE take a minute to watch his brilliant musicianship (I really had posted like 8 videos, and I realized it was a bit of overkill. If you get hooked like I did, check out some videos from his MySpace gig on youtube).
HERE (Forgive his physical abuse of the piano... but he makes great music while he does it.)

**Ben Folds is not a Christian... so please don't be surprised or offended by his secular lyrics. As brilliant as he is, he could sometimes be more creative with his use of words. But I have recently learned/been reminded that ALL people are made in God's image. Therefore, although Ben Folds isn't actively using his gifts to bring intentional glory to the Lord, the Lord's glory and creativity and blessings on his creatures is still evident because Ben Folds still reflects aspects of his Creator.
