Catching up: Ben Folds’ new album

Awesome piano-popster Ben Folds has (finally) got another (proper) album coming out, entitled Way To Normal, which will see release in the US on 30th September (and a day earlier in the UK. Ha!).

Ben’s MySpace features two songs from the new album; the brilliant “Hiroshima” (about falling off stage at the beginning of a concert), and the possibly even-more-brilliant “The Bitch Went Nuts”, which chronicles an ill-advised date with a militant left-wing conspiracy nut who, whose somewhat-”nuts” behaviour in seeing everyone as an evil conservative, means that when the narrator “close[s his] eyes / [he]‘ll be fucking Jimmy Carter”.

That line alone puts it up on the level of that other Folds song with “bitch” in the title.
