Ben Folds, self-described purveyor of "punk rock for sissies" has announced a tour set to kick off later this month. Ben is touring in support of his new rarities compilation titled supersunnyspeedgraphic, the lp. The 12-track disc features original material culled from EPs, compilations and soundtracks as well as covers of three tracks, In Between Days" (The Cure), "Get Your Hands Off Of My Woman" (The Darkness) and Ben's own version of the Dr. Dre hit "Bitches Ain't Shit."

The album follows his last studio full length, Songs For Silverman which preceded an iTunes EP, and the soundtrack to the film, Over the Hedge.
