So I found this list on TicketMaster I never knew existed. Very cool! Very useful, too.

If you don't know what I'm talking about:

2,00.html

It lists Ben as having 88 songs to his name. Pretty spiffy!

There are some on the list I don't know about though. Can anybody explain them to me? I don't have the Fear of Pop album yet, so maybe that's why some don't sound familiar to me. I've been meaning to complete my collection... :

Never heard of:
Avery M. Powers Memorial Beltway
Blink
For All the Pretty People
I Paid My Money
Kate Army (as one song?)
Kops
Slow Jam '98
*heh, they misspelled pyser*

I think that's all of the listed ones that I don't know... and I swear that list is nowhere near complete. Anywhoo... :)

All of those but Kate Army are from FOP.
And if you look inside the WAEA liner notes, the word 'army' is written right beside Kate. There was a thread about this a while back.

Go get Fear of Pop
that'll help you out with at least 3 of the songs you listed.
The others are available on Kyle's FTP or audiogalaxy etc.

Except that Kate Army (to my knowledge) is not one song - it's just got a funny listing like that on WE&EA if you look closely.

Stop the inanity!!

Great minds think alike, i guess
;-)
but don't be looking for "Blink" and "For All The Pretty People" on FoP coz they aren't there.

Blink is on Fear of Pop. It's track 4 I think.

I have "For All the Pretty People", it's a really old song, like pre-self titled. If you want it please im or email me.

Incidently - the quote generator has that very quote in it's rotation.

for all the pretty people is a robert-penned (i think) instrumental, the beginning of which is the band trying to quit messing around becos one of the guys "wants to rock". it was a bside to kate #1.

V.I.P. 2-2-3/Have my chances/They have me/Now stay up nights/Watch TV/I'm a country sad/I'm a ballad man

whoever said "pretty people" is pre-self titled, is WRONG. the only pre-self titled track by BFF anyone has is the jackson cannery 7" on NBP. unless you count the beginnings, and i think that's just ben playing all three parts.
