“Give Judy My Notice” by Ben Folds wasn't available. I highly suggest finding it. I heard about the Speed Graphic EP from a friend I made on LiveJournal. He probably sent me a message on Friendster. I was excited about another Ben Folds CD. I was thrilled there was a Cure cover on it. I can say I definitely bought it because I loved The Cure, and I loved the song “In Between Days”. The CD made it to my hands. A few songs in a really thin package I felt I’d payed through the nose for. I thought the cover was an interesting take on something old. I liked it. I wasn’t wowed, though. Then, there was “Give Judy My Notice”. The saddest most beautiful song of that moment. Ripping the innards of every unequal love out, and pinning them to canvas with explanation. http://lrb.works/post/120660655965/regarding-give-judy-my-notice-by-ben-folds
