Happy Thanksgiving! Ok… we are a little early, but we are busy prepping for Thanksgiving here in America.  So we got this one out early so you can listen to it while you are chopping your vegetables (unless you are in Canada, like our guest for this week, Justin from Monster Squad Minute).

Episode 43: Canadian Snacktime Trilogy: Snacktime 

It’s Halloween!!!  And guess what we in the USA talk about at Halloween.  SNACKS!!! CANDY!!  And BNL music about Snacks and Candy!!!!   NO  Not Sex and Candy. SNACKS!  As in Snacktime!  And this week we discuss “Snacktime” with the guys from the Monster Squad Minute.  That’s right. We talk with the Monster Squad Minute men (yes, I called them Minute men) on Halloween.

Episode 42: Canada Dry 

I am American and wet because it is raining.  In my part of the country… which is Maine.  It is raining in Maine.  Okay?  And I hate October Rain.  November, it’s fine because it is usually snow here.  But October Rain stinks.  It’s cold and drizzly…. okay.  I need to get my head off the weather.  What’s this week’s song?  #$#%.  Just enjoy the song.

Episode 41: Call Me Calmly 

Call me hungry, call me busy, call me late for dinner, just make sure you call me calmly.  Tonight we discuss a song that is rated XXX using rated PG language. Would I lie? We have no Aaron this week, so we have a “guest” read his review. 

Episode 40: Call and Answer 

You say it’s getting to the point where we are hitting our stride?  Well, I say that BNL hit its stride with this song.  Do the rest of group agree with me? You will just have to listen to see what they say.

Episode 38: Bull In A China Shop 

Have you ever felt like everything you touch just rusts, corrodes, decays? We don’t feel that way, but this week we explore a song where the narrator feels like he has the anti-Midas touch.  But is this song solid gold itself?  You’ll have to tune in to find out.

Episode 38: “Heal Thyself Part II Discipline” review 

We are showing we have no discipline as we take time away from our lineup to review Steven Page’s new album “Heal Thyself Part II: Discipline”, which came out Sept. 14. Should we trust Steven’s instincts or should we should discipline at the music shop?  Listen in to find out.  

Next week, we will return to our line up with “Bull In A China Shop”

Episode 37: Bringing It Home 

It sounds almost like a goodbye song title.  We hope that it isn’t.  This week we discuss the boys celebration anthem. In the middle, I post a clip of the song, with Ed’s vocals minimized to accentuate the new instrument.  That is not how the bridge actually sounds.

Episode 36: Brian Wilson 

Are you reeling from the good vibrations from last week’s interview?  I still am.  Wouldn’t it be nice if there was one song where we all agreed on its merits?  Maybe it’s this song.  God only knows as we review Brian Wilson with returning co-host, Bobby.  We are missing Michelle, but I still guarantee, this long episode is fun, fun, fun! 

BNL playing, what may be the first live performance of the song, at the Horseshoe Tavern on June 15, 1991. We don’t have any record of earlier performances.

Barenaked Ladies on Much Music Intimate and Interactive (you have to listen to the funky version of “A” first… gee.. Darn.  I’m not going to even tell you the minute mark because I dare you to try to skip this version of “A”… and he uses the word “asswipe” instead of “asshole”).  Then you see Ed in the audience sitting on someone’s lap in the audience, and you can really hear Andy going crazy on those congas / bongos.
