WBRU is the best college radio station eva!  This Thursday Brown Radio is bringing singer/songwriter Ben Folds to Providence.  Performing at the Bank of America City Center downtown.  Act fast:  tickets will be on sale for $20 in Faunce House from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. through Wednesday.   If you procrastinate until Thursday, tickets will be $25.

Known for his piano stylings as much as his voice, Ben Folds was once in Ben Folds Five, but he ditched the other four to start a solo career.  Sure he produced Will Shatner's album, Has Been, but he was also the first person to broadcast a live concert over MySpace.  I don't know if that makes him cool or not, but the fact that he is currently producing The Dresdon Dolls superstar, Amanda Palmer's solo album does.
