So anyway, I do love Nick Hornby, so when I heard this news I was very, very happy:
With a new album and a long-awaited reunion you'd think Ben Folds would consider taking a much-deserved breather. Instead, the piano man is already plotting his next project -- a musical collaboration with High Fidelity author Nick Hornby."Nick Hornby and I are talking about doing a record where he writes the lyrics and I write the music," Folds told News.com.au. "His lyrics are great. These are really good words." The duo plan to hit the studio this December in Ireland, a move that was inspired by Folds recording a 'fake' version (which leaked to the web) of his forthcoming solo album, Way To Normal, in the country this past summer. "[We will] write and record it in about three days, just like we did in Dublin with the fake record," Folds explained. "It's fun -- I'm excited about it."
Excited? ME TOO, Ben Folds! I shall eagerly await this stroke of genius. Meanwhile I will listen to Bitch Went Nuts off your new album, because it is currently my fave.

Oh my gosh, keep reading Nick Hornby. He's amazing. I love him. Except for Fever Pitch — that was boring. But High Fidelity, About a Boy, A Long Way Down... Amazing! How to be Good is okay & Housekeeping vs. the Dirt is pretty good, but the others are my top three. He also has a new one out that I haven't read, but my dad thought it was kind of lame. He loves Nick Hornby too.
the new one, is it called Slam? about like a skateboarding kid? uhhh did i make that up...
And no that's not made up that's real.
