Barenaked ABCs - Alphabetical Barenaked Ladies Catalog

A ghost of the past returns as Aaron joins us this week.  And a hi-ho to our guest today, Bryan Ripper, from the All About The Mouse podcast. As we discuss a deep dive “Grim Grinning Ghosts”. And stick around after. We had a poltergeist encounter during the middle of our recording.

Green Christmas 

Well, Newfoundland just got 5-12 feet of snow.  Maine faired better but still got a foot.  It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas.  But the Southern US is looking pretty green right now. Which is pretty ironic, because this week we have Bill Meeks joining us to discuss “Green Christmas”.  It is our last week of no Aaron (this was recorded before Christmas), but Bill and Tracy have a great time unwrapping this song anyway.

Holy Cow.  Has it been a week already?  Where does the time go when I’m not around here? I don’t know.  But here we stand at the beginning of a year, with the podcast’s road growing ever wider, but our list only getting more narrow.  Oh, and make sure you stick around to wait to see if we have any last words, because whenever Andrew and Justin are around, there are always outtakes.

Episode 102: Grade 9  

“The Barenaked ABCs is an absurd podcast that reviews Barenaked Ladies songs. In an effort to sound more intelligent than they are, the hosts have arranged their list in an alphabetical manner, but most people think this is unnecessary because it leads odd combinations for irrational reasons.”  That was the synopsis of the show that I wrote back in 9th grade.  I was a visionary (mostly because back then the internet didn’t even exist. Want to hear more absurd ideas?  The listen as we discuss “Grade 9” this week.  It is just me (Tracy) so Mil Feirn has agreed to join me.

Episode 99: Good Times 

It has been a wonderful year.  And as we near the end of it, I like to reminisce.  But that is for two episodes from now.  Before we discuss the good times, it is time to discuss “Good Times” by Barenaked Ladies and the Persuasions.  We don’t have Aaron, but we do have Tyler Bodreau. So, whether you are wrapping gifts, preparing latkes, or driving to the family, sit back and have a good time with this episode. Make sure you listen to the end for a major announcement.

You know how we talk about “They Might Be Giants” a lot! Well, you’ve never heard us talk about them so much. This week Tracy crossed over to This Might Be A Podcast and talked “Meet The Elements” with Greg. It was a lot of fun!

Episode 98: Gonna Walk 

This week is the huge “Crisis on Infinite Earths” crossover starting. If you could have any superpower, which one would you pick.  Personally, I would pick flight.  I’ve always wanted to fly.  But Ed.  Well, even though he is a pilot, I guess his superpower would be “walking”.  I’m not sure what that would look like, but I’ve got your back, Ed. Being a long distance walker would be pretty cool.  And during that walk, you could put on this week’s episode, where we discuss “Gonna Walk”.  I am joined again by Katherine Cornetta, BNL superfan. One more week to the big announcement and I’m working diligently on it. I’m very excited!
