The "Lonely Interviews"—a series of live online video interviews featuring Ben Folds chatting with fans and fellow artists about anything and everything—kicked off last week with two fan-hosted talks and one with Bob Saget. The series, titled after Folds's forthcoming album collaboration with Nick Hornby, Lonely Avenue, continues this week with three consecutive days of interviews, all taking place at benfolds.com/chat.

This week's "Lonely Interviews" begin today at 6 PM ET, with author Neil Gaiman and Amanda Palmer, whose 2008 solo debut album, Who Killed Amanda Palmer, was produced by Folds. Up next, today at 7 PM ET, is singer/songwriter Michelle Branch. After soliciting questions from her Twitter followers, Branch promises to get an update on the stolen black t-shirt at the heart of Ben Folds Five's classic "Song for the Dumped."

The fans take over for the next set of interviews, tomorrow, August 26, at 6:30 PM ET and 7 PM ET, with Corey Young and Nina Jankowicz, respectively.

On Friday, young UK video blogger extraordinaire Charlie McDonnell will be leading the chat from London, starting at 4 PM ET / 9 PM GMT.

And that's all taking place at benfolds.com/chat.

Check back for news on more "Lonely Interviews" to come in the weeks leading up to the September 28 release of Lonely Avenue. The album is available for pre-order now on vinyl, CD, and in the deluxe edition in the Nonesuch Store. Pre-orders include a limited-edition Folds/Hornby-penned manuscript score from the album track "Picture Window," a number of which will be signed by Ben and Nick.

    The 27-disc box set Steve Reich Collected Works is out now on Nonesuch. It features music recorded during the composer's 40 years on the label—six decades of his compositions, including first recordings of his two latest works, Jacob’s Ladder and Traveler’s Prayer (both also available to stream/download today)—plus two extensive booklets with new essays by Robert Hurwitz, Michael Tilson Thomas, Russell Hartenberger, Judith Sherman, and Nico Muhly, and a comprehensive listener’s guide by Timo Andres. Nonesuch made its first record with Steve Reich in 1985; he was signed exclusively to the label that year. Collected Works includes 24 discs of Nonesuch recordings and three from other labels.

    Cinematic electro-pop duo Ringdown, featuring Danni Lee Parpan and Pulitzer and Grammy winner Caroline Shaw, will release its debut album, Lady on the Bike, May 9. The album celebrates the feeling of possibility in myriad forms: the possibility of love; the possibility of creating connection and community in a world trying to pull those things apart; the possibility of making music in new ways. Ringdown will create additional custom sleeves for the first 50 Nonesuch Store vinyl orders. The duo will perform with Sō Percussion and in its own headlining shows this spring and summer.
