asofthum Posted September 6, 2007 Share Posted September 6, 2007 Any Ben Lee fans here? He has a new album coming out soon, and I've heard a couple of new songs - they sound really good. He also recently covered Against Me!'s last album "New Wave" - it's really interesting, I love it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I have a couple Noise Addict singles on 10", I think, too. I sort of lost interest when I heard the Breathing Tornados disc, although the version of Cigarettes Will Kill You on the Grand Royal Sampler tape was really good. Ben did a cool version of Christine Aguilera's "Beautiful" on Morning Becomes Eclectic a few years back, too. You can probably find it in their archives or by googling or something. Maybe I'll have to give the new Ben a listen. anyway,dcd Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bsr8j Posted September 6, 2007 Share Posted September 6, 2007 I loved the last disc (Awake is the New Sleep) and can't wait to hear the new one. He's also really excellent live. I saw him at a small club in DC (the Black Cat) a couple of years back and Maria Taylor and Har Mar Superstar opened up for him. That's probably one of the best shows I've been to. Maria sounded great, Har Mar was outrageous and entertaining, and Ben made everyone have a great time. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
remphish1 Posted September 6, 2007 Share Posted September 6, 2007 Ah Ben Lee! I have all his albums and have seen him in concert maybe 8 times? He is a very genuine person and has some great songs. He ususally will stick around after every show to chat with fans. I am looking forward to his new albums. Breathing Tornados is my favorite album of his! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

asofthum Posted September 20, 2007 Author Share Posted September 20, 2007 I agree with everyone who said he's good live! And I picked up the new album... it's awesome. Did anyone else get it? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Nope, but the Rolling Stone email I got this morning says he is scheduled to be on Craig Ferguson tonight. dcd Quote Link to post Share on other sites
