Barenaked Ladies... made you look!

I'm not going to bust out with a fan gusher post or anything so pedestrian, but let me share something that I thought was pretty interesting.

BNL (the hip-kids in the know refer to them as BNL) are currently recording a new album at some magical location in the Canadian wilds (Toronto). Progress is reported on their website and a podcast (available via iTunes).

A feature of the podcast that I thought was really cool appeared in episode 15. They played an early demo of one of their most well known songs The Old Apartment and a few subsequent revisions. I think the very first version is when the guy who wrote it is playing for the rest of the band for the very first time.

I'm not in a band, and I've had 'band-envy' for a long time, I'm strictly a non-musician. But this was really interesting to hear the development of a song with which I was already familiar.

Anyway, if you are remotely interested by any of this babble, here are the links that will connect the many spurious dots.
