Hello All,

I've listened through over 200 a cappella acts and have it narrowed down to 18.

I'll have to narrow it down more. But that's where it stands as of now. We'll know more once everything is recorded. And I'll be doing some traveling with my engineer, Joe and some old ribbon mics to record as many as I have time for in the first couple of weeks of December.

Here are the groups to be recorded. Some have already finished recordings. This list is in no particular order:

1. Blue Notes (Wellesley College) - Annie Waits
2. Midnight Ramblers (University of Rochester) - Army
3. Leading Tones (Ohio University) - Brick
4. Lady Bens - Cigarette
5. Newtones (Newton High School in Boston) - Evaporated
6. Fifth Element (University of Wisconsin - Eau Claire) - Fair
7. Gracenotes (West Chester University of PA) - Fred Jones Part 2
8. Loreleis (University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill) - Jesusland
9. Colorado University Buffoons - Landed
10. Voices In Your Head (University of Chicago) - Magic
11. Spartones (University of North Carolina at Greensboro) - Not The Same
12. Jazz Singers (Sacramento State) - Selfless, Cold and Composed
13. Mosaic Whispers (Washington University - St Louis) - Still FIghting It
14. The Amateurs (Washington University - St Louis) - Luckiest
15. Nassoons (Princeton) - Time
16. With Someone Else's Money (University of Georgia) - You Don't Know Me
17. All Night Yahtzee (Florida State) - Missing The War
18. Treble in Paradise (American University) - Zak and Sara


If you're on the list and we haven't contacted you, we will.
If some of these don't make the record its not because the groups sucked. Its the hit and miss nature of making records and that the record can only be so long. There was a good reason for each of these that was chosen. There were too many more amazing ones to mention and I'll see if I can find the time to contact some of them by mail to thank them for taking the time.

We're trying to get this done for a spring release.

Thanks for taking my (and maybe many others) vote into consideration....U of Chicago doing Magic is simply fantastic! I am absolutely addicted to college acapella music, but any group doing a Ben Folds song is high on my list! I can't wait!

Ben, this is awesome...I saw you in Dayton a couple years ago and you were rockin, even though the place was half empty (cause people are stupid). I'm actually in the process of starting 2 a cappella groups of my own, so needless to say, I'm totally stoked about this album...can't wait to hear it!

These posts are desperately in need of new adjectives. Awesome is already taken...several times.

Maybe you should call it Ben's Awesomely Awesome Album of Awesomeness (or Baaaa for short)

I know you've listened to 200, but can you bare one more?
These guys are absolutely amazing, and the soloist is a close friend.
You should check them out, and possibly reconsider?

It would be worth it, I promise :]

Wow. I can't believe more West coast acappella groups aren't on here. IMHO, there are way better groups on that side of the continent.......
