Tuesday Music: The Old Is New

Meet the Barenaked Ladies. Meet BNL on their second album, Maybe You Should Drive. I am a completist when it comes to bands I love; I usually don't stop until I have every album they've released that's still in print. For some odd reason, this entry into BNL's catalogue escaped my clutches until late last week. The circumstances leading up to the purchase were two-fold: I have been listening to a lot of live BNL lately, and I needed something else to go with my Amazon purchase to score the free Super Saver Shipping. That leads us to today, when I popped Drive into my CD changer and gave it a listen. So this is where all those other songs on Rock Spectacle came from! It was cool to hear the original versions, and I was duly impressed. BNL is a band of guys that don't care to be goofy when the mood strikes them, but they can also craft some really intricate and clever songs.

In short, pick yourself up some Barenaked Ladies at once.

... In other news, you gotta love guys in funny hats. Wesley Innertube Water Polo is kicking butt, with two more wins tonight. Simply outstanding!
