Barenaked ABCs (Alphabetical Barenaked [Ladies] Catalog

As I post this, I just got back from a camping trip.  And coincidentalliy, my family did some mining and my son found a moonstone, which is this week’s song!  Join us as we discuss this B-side track from “All In Good Time”

That’s not a typo. It isn’t our guest for this week. That is the name of the song. And I wish I could say that Michael agreed to come on to talk about this song written about him, but we couldn’t find him. Michael, you are still welcome to join us anytime.

We have a great guest/interview coming up, but we have to wait a week for it to happen. And since I can’t speed up time, I thought this would be a great time to take a break and introduce you to some of Aaron and Jeff’s work.

It’s been a while since we had Aaron?  He was just on last week, but maybe you’re right.  Because he is missing again this week. But we have Heidi Welsh joining us to discuss “Maybe You’re Right”.  Listen in to decide if we are right about our opinions about this song.

There is no “maybe”s about this one. I have been excited for this episode for over a year.  But not because of the song (you’ll have to listen to see my thoughts on that) but because Alex Robinson is joining us to discuss “Maybe Katie”.

I wish that I could say that this week we were discussing Doctor Who.  Why?  Because I love Doctor Who… and I wish I had thought of a way to tie that into this week’s song discussion.  But I didn’t.  So I guess we and our guest, Trevor Cox, will just have to talk about “Matter of Time”.
