The Door Into Summer – Barenaked Ladies
After July 1st, this will move over to the $20 tier…
I’ve picked some of my fave bits of music and hopefully will introduce you to something new and exciting. You might not like all or any of the tracks but I hope you will listen without prejudice and see if anything tickles a part of your soul that has not been touched before.
This episode is a look at some of the lesser well known Barenaked Ladies tracks. I love BNL, ever since I heard If I Had $1,000,000 at college maybe 29 years ago. Man, that makes me old. I loved that song so much. Then I heard Brian Wilson and I knew I had found my new fave band. They are so joyous, so unassumingly clever, songs packed full of subtle jokes followed by heartfelt questions about life. Yes. BNL are existentialist humorists. And no one knows because of THAT bloody song.
They’re a wonderful secret and it is my pleasure to share that secret with you. I hope you enjoy and consider digging a little deeper after this podcast.
Thanks for listening.
