Barenaked Ladies
has been a band that I've been only vaguely aware of over the last
number of years, probably because of the awful name of the band. Then
on November 30 of last year, I was at a JB Winberrie in Princeton,
and there was a promotion for a simultaneous, worldwide Guinness
Stout toast (to go in the Guinness Book of Records). Anyway, I
bought the Guinness, got a ticket for a raffle, and won a BNL two
song promotional CD. And I was hooked.
I then discovered
that they had just issued their Greatest Hits Album, and have
been around for around 10 years. Some of these songs are very familiar
to me (One Week, Brian Wilson), and Pinch Me
was on my two song sample, but there is lots of good stuff here. Check
it out.
