Ben Folds Leaks Crappy Version Of Own Album

ben-folds-fake-leak.jpgSeems Ben Folds sort of went the route of Buckcherry, but in a more comical and endearing way. Reports Stereogum:

“Singer-songwriter Ben Folds responded to the inevitable leak of his forthcoming album Way To Normal in a unique way: he leaked it himself. Only the songs weren’t real — he spent eight hours recording “fake” versions of six tracks during a late-night Dublin, Ireland session in early July, then let friends work their magic on the Web.”

That’s a lot easier than creating a fake blog and sending cease-and-desist letters to yourself.

    I want the fake songs but I’m too lazy to try and find them. Interwebs unite!
