Barenaked Ladies

And you thought this might be a naughty post.

As I've mentioned, I tend to come up with posts at the most inopportune times. Entire paragraphs of thought even. In the shower, in the car, while on the phone to the Boss. Depending on the content, it could get a little awkward. Of course I usually discard those post ideas, to save your virgin ears and all.

I had an idea for a post today. I really did. I was driving home, listening to BNL, fighting the pull of the drive-thru, talking to my fellow drivers, feeling a little sad when they did not respond. But it's gone, poof. If it's any good, it will come back to me.

Even if you aren't a fan of Barenaked Ladies (insert joke here) they do have some excellent lyrics. I'm currently playing Everything to Everyone on a loop. So for a little filler, here are some favorite songs and lyrics from that album.

For You: Could you just forget, if you can't forgive, All the things I cannot concede
Testing, 1, 2, 3: We recognize the present, Is half as pleasant, As our nostalgia for, A past that we resented, Recast and reinvented, Until it's how we meant it
Aluminum: You're so lightweight, how can you survive, Recycling moments from other's lives?
Take It Outside: Hardly know what anything's for, Just for show, I'm slamming the door

Another Postcard and Upside Down are also great. It's very annoying when lyrics sites get lyrics wrong, so just trust that what I wrote was correct, regardless of the link.

They are an excellent live band; I've seen them twice. And I find Ed to be totally hot. Actually, all the guys are in their unique way. Smart, funny, geekily sexy. Oh, I'm talking about boys again aren't I? Oops.

I do love the BNL's. Gotta admire any group that let's the fat kid be a lead singer. I caught on back in '99 (I think) with the One Week explosion and have since collected nearly all of their CD's. Yes, I said it. The actual discs. Not downloaded. This is a group I feel good about supporting.

I've heard very little about their show lately; should check out their site again.

Why can't you listen to music Sunny?

Astroboy - nerd is a great language. Way better than Pig Latin, which I could never master.

Hi Invisible! The actual discs? Yep, some bands are worth it!
