DINNER IS SERVED... You're getting your Remix of the Week a day early this week, but it is totally worth it!  This track is straight fire folks.  I have never heard of this guy named Novel, but dang, he has some good stuff.  You all know I am a huge fan of both Rock/Pop music and Hip-Hop/Rap music, so when the two combine on a remix, you know that I am going to be going CRAZY!  You can check the track out below, I am sure you will be satisfied with it, and be sure to hit us up with what your take is on the Remix of the hit song, "I Am" (originally by) Ben Folds!!!

Next Weeks RotW may not be able to top this one, but I sure hope it does!!!

"Songs for Silverman" would be in my opinion, the second best Ben Folds album.  A few posts back, I wrote a review on his first release, "Rockin' the Suburbs."  So here comes my second review (leading up to his upcoming release).  Out of all the albums (as of yet) that have been released by Mr. Folds, "Songs for Silverman" has been his most successful, reaching number thirteen on the Billboards 200.  Unlike his first release, "Songs for Silverman" is a much more upbeat and happy album.  "Rockin' the Suburbs" is a much darker album mainly due to what was going on in Ben Folds' life.  "Songs for Silverman" is a much happier album, mainly due to his marriage and kids.  Overall, "Songs for Silverman" was a great album, and it has me excited for his upcoming album which is yet to have an album name.

Well, in light of Ben Folds announcing that he will be coming out with a new album, I decided to review one of his more popular releases, Rockin' the Suburbs.  Mr. Fold's killer sophomore release did pretty well, coming in at #42 on the Billboard Charts, and #11 on Internet Download Charts for 2001.  His second album has become one of his most popular releases, and more than likely always will be next to Songs for Silverman.  Overall, a great album, highly advise everyone to check it out and give it a listen!

Track Listing:

"Annie Waits"
"Zak and Sara"
"Still Fighting It"
"Gone"
"Fred Jones, Pt. 2"
"The Ascent of Stan"
"Losing Lisa"
"Carrying Cathy"
"Not the Same"
"Rockin' the Suburbs"
"Fired"
"The Luckiest"
"Hiro's Song (Japanese Bonus Track)"

That is right, you heard it here first...Ben Folds is coming out with a new album in the upcoming future.  So you may ask, "How do you know?  It is not posted anywhere on the web..." And my answer to you is very simple, as I saw Ben Folds live this past week, and boy was it a treat.  He not only played those oldies and great tunes, but for those who were in attendance for the concert got to listen to new songs that have never been released before, and are due to be on the upcoming album.  He confirmed that he has been working on a new album (and as well, going through a current divorce.)  As you all remember, he got married during the time in which Songs For Silverman came out, and all the albums before that, were not as happy toned as that one.  This upcoming one will for sure not be like his last hit, and you should expect him to get back to producing the same type of music he did before SFS.  More news to come when we find out more!
