Barenaked ABCs (Alphabetical Barenaked [Ladies] Catalog

Aaron is sick this week, so we don’t have him.  But Erik agreed to step in and help, since he has good bedside manner.  One might say he is the king of it.  So join Steffan, Erik and myself as we discuss “King of Bedside Manor” 

Appearances 

Ships and Dip 3 (Not the best but they are having fun, especially Tyler)

If Blink 182 Wrote “One Week” (Barenaked Ladies) 

Episode 158: Keepin’ It Real  

We should call this song review, “Keepin It On Track” because I try very hard to do that.  This week is very religious based, but that is because of the song.  I try to balance it out with the religious view.  But really, we were just  “Keepin’ It Real” with Erik Butterworth. 

What are those hidden verses? 

Appearance

It’s almost Valentine’s Day, but we are still talking about toys. I suppose toys are a part of Valentine’s Day as well, but that is different than what we discuss tonight with Tyler Boudreau. And those toys are never “Just A Toy”

Appearances: A different version of “Break Your Heart”

Believe it or not, I have more than two friends. But this week, only two of them could make it: Jeff and Aaron. Which is coincidental, considering this week’s song is about three friends: Joseph, Dan, and Jillian. So join us for the rarity, found on only one live CD: Joseph Brown

Appearance
BNL Tyler Stewart “Drums Chicken and Poop” https://youtu.be/Ees0BNNJVVQ

This week we have Trevor Cox rejoining us to discuss the introduction to the Holiday album: Jingle Bells

Appearances

Ed Covering “Distant Sun” by Crowded House on Bathroom Sessions 

This week we are coming to you live from Jerome, AZ. Okay.  We aren’t.  We would have loved to have made the trip and recorded live in the sliding jail, but we can’t afford those things.  So instead, we just talk to you about the song “Jerome” 

Jerome 

Appearances 

What is Jerome? 

Is there really a sliding jail? 

Jerome’s Sliding Jail – Jerome, Arizona – Atlas Obscura 

Making of Jerome (on banjo, it sounds different but good) 

He is really having a good time singing it, but his enthusiasm doens’t match the song? 

Jerome live in arizona 

This week’s song is anything but plain. But does our panel think that life is better by listening to “Jane”? 

Jane official video 

Appearances 

BNL on Conan on second week of show 

“Jane” by Stephen Duffy (late 80s sound to music… similar voice).. Slept with her. Feel like 13 again, safer if we stay friends, No longer lawrence to your vivian., work and school, love sick fool.   

Steven Page on “Behind the Vinyl” about “Jane” 

Literary Analysis of Jane

That’s right. We are getting ready to put 2020 to bed and as we look back with hindsight, we review our regrets and our resolutions for next year. So join Tracy, Aaron, and Jeff as we discuss G-I (and not our personal GIs).

Merry Christmas, a late Happy Hanukkah, and an early Happy Kwanzaa to everyone. We will be back next week with our review episode, but for now, enjoy this BNL classic from their live performance in Portland, ME. It was a “never purchase”, so I think I am okay releasing this.

I have a new title. I was just elected the Wizard of Magicland.  But if you ever wondered before who that is, well, I can tell you now that it’s only me.  I’m the one and only.  But this week, we are not the only podcast talking about this song. Our friends over at “Barenaked Ladies are Us” podcast are joining us to discuss this deep cut. (and somehow we all missed mentioning the grunt at the beginning of the song).
