Episode 330: Landed On My Head

I need to take a little break this week. I think I have a concussion. I landed on my head while trying to do one of Super Dave's stunts. But it is okay. I have this week's song to listen to while I recover. I hope you enjoy our discussion of "Landed On My Head". This week we have JD and Nick joining us from "Barenaked Ladies are US" podcast.

You’re looking down at the ground

Your plans are in tatters

There’s no time to lose

You’ve got to choose what really matters
(chorus)

Let there be light in your life again

Your rotten luck

I mean really what were the chances

Let’s make no sound

Let’s lie on the ground Look up through the branches
(chorus)

And Let there be light in your life again
Let there be light in your life again

(Bridge)

If your heart is heavy, and you’re alone

Feelin’ lost in the honeycomb (you ate a whole box of honeycombs)

you can call me, you can call me, you can call me, I’ll be (home?)I am at home

There’s so much darkness,

So much bizarreness and commotion

Your shipwrecked dream may be at the bottom of the ocean
Cheap souvenirs. Won’t you help me clear out all of this clutter

Too many tears for too many years

Why lose another?
(chorus)

Let there be light in your life again

Let there be light in your life again
Let there be light in your life again (in your life)
Let there be light in your life again

Tue, 27 Oct 2020 17:11:00 -0000

You know what BNL needs. An Indy Car. And over the radio, they need to play one song. This week’s song. The whole race. That guy will drive so fast to get out of the car. But is that just from the monotony or because this week’s song is that bad? And does Ali McBride agree with us? Listen to find out

Episode 108: Harland Williams Interview

Tue, 18 Feb 2020 06:33:00 -0000

I am in awe this week. It is coincidental that the month we have been talking about the Barenaked Ladies Variety Show pilot, Harland Williams agreed to join us and talk about all his projects. He is hilarious and please visit all the links below. Go out and buy his children’s books, his “The Cousins” album, his stand-up specials, and go buy tickets to see him do live stand up on tour! Also go watch his new project “Two Guys in Their Underpants”. Oh yeah, and listen to his amazing interview here!

We will be back with music reviews next week.

If you want to buy “The Cousins” album (which we all highly recommend), you can get it on iTunes and in any store or online store that sells CDs or digital music.

Episode 106: Brent Carpenter Interview

Tue, 04 Feb 2020 10:14:00 -0000

This week we take a hiatus from songs while we talk to Brent Carpenter. He co-directed and edited the Barenaked Ladies pilot for FOX. Before you start listening today, you should know that this week and next we will be discussing the Barenaked Ladies pilot episode. There will be spoilers throughout the discussion, especially next week. So I highly encourage you to watch the episode listed below before listening. Also, while recording, we had to step away for 10 minutes due to technical issues, so there is a break in the conversation and it might seem a little stilted. I have tried to edit as best I could to make it seamless.

Tue, 21 Jan 2020 03:32:52 -0000

Green Christmas

Well, Newfoundland just got 5-12 feet of snow. Maine faired better but still got a foot. It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas. But the Southern US is looking pretty green right now. Which is pretty ironic, because this week we have Bill Meeks joining us to discuss “Green Christmas”. It is our last week of no Aaron (this was recorded before Christmas), but Bill and Tracy have a great time unwrapping this song anyway.

Episode 102: Grade 9

“The Barenaked ABCs is an absurd podcast that reviews Barenaked Ladies songs. In an effort to sound more intelligent than they are, the hosts have arranged their list in an alphabetical manner, but most people think this is unnecessary because it leads odd combinations for irrational reasons.” That was the synopsis of the show that I wrote back in 9th grade. I was a visionary (mostly because back then the internet didn’t even exist. Want to hear more absurd ideas? The listen as we discuss “Grade 9” this week. It is just me (Tracy) so Mil Feirn has agreed to join me.

Episode 99: Good Times

It has been a wonderful year. And as we near the end of it, I like to reminisce. But that is for two episodes from now. Before we discuss the good times, it is time to discuss “Good Times” by Barenaked Ladies and the Persuasions. We don’t have Aaron, but we do have Tyler Bodreau. So, whether you are wrapping gifts, preparing latkes, or driving to the family, sit back and have a good time with this episode. Make sure you listen to the end for a major announcement.

Episode 98: Gonna Walk

This week is the huge “Crisis on Infinite Earths” crossover starting. If you could have any superpower, which one would you pick. Personally, I would pick flight. I’ve always wanted to fly. But Ed. Well, even though he is a pilot, I guess his superpower would be “walking”. I’m not sure what that would look like, but I’ve got your back, Ed. Being a long distance walker would be pretty cool. And during that walk, you could put on this week’s episode, where we discuss “Gonna Walk”. I am joined again by Katherine Cornetta, BNL superfan. One more week to the big announcement and I’m working diligently on it. I’m very excited!

With American Thanksgiving this week, we are officially going to be in the “Holiday Season”, so it is only fitting that we start the season with a holiday song. And we get to spend some time with our favorite Canadians… no, not BNL. Andrew and Justin from “Monster Squad Minute” return to discuss the blessing of BNL with Sarah McLaughlin.

I need to apologize in advance, somewhere around 45 minutes, Andrew’s audio has a problem that I was not able to resolve. But I didn’t want to just edit him out. Please forgive me.

We still don’t have Aaron. He decided he’s had enough of me and decided to Go Home. Michelle decided to Go Home this week too. Since we are without my compatriots, I have the boss of our home network, Blake Reilly. But don’t you Go Home. Unless you are on your way back from work. Then by all means, Go Home. But why are you reading this? Instead, download this episode and listen to it while you are driving. (Also, I edited the episode with belief Aaron might be able to get his thoughts to us. Unfortunately, it was not to be this week. But I didn’t have time to edit it out. Sorry, folks. I hop you enjoy the jokes though.)

It was covered by American country music singer-songwriter Tom T. Hall. His version was released as a single in 1976 and peaked at #9 on the U.S. Billboard Hot Country Singles chart and #12 on the Canadian RPM Country Tracks chart.

Oh, I tiptoe to and fro

Growin’ like freak-show free-throw this is just the intro,

Watch it keep droppin’ like dominos

One Mississippi, Two Mississippi, Three Mississippi, Four

Now rewind,

What’d you have in mind?

Could we unwind? I’m fine, we can find a streamline

Recombined, intertwined

If I’m gonna headline,

I’m inclined to be movin’ all the behinds

Line to line, I kind of shine

Redesigned, redefined

Keepin’ up the spellbind, gotta make it worth the grind

Just in time to have another close encounter

Of the third kind

One Mississippi, Two Mississippi, Three Mississippi, Four

I’ve been away, four years and a day

You’d be thinking I’d be lonely

But I’m out here to stay

Wouldn’t have it any other way

Oh flip, the light is turning orange

Coat ripped when I caught it in the door hinge

I slipped when the lade in the 4 inch

Bought it in a store in Germany

Wore it like a makeshift snowdrift

Had to get a gift, saw the red shift rift

When Gretta got an eyelift

Oh sure that one’s obscure, maybe even piss poor

But I had to take a little detour

I’ve been away, four years and a day

You’d be thinking I’d be lonely

But I’m out here to stay

Wouldn’t have it any other way

Could we maybe just get to talking about “For You”? I bet you will really like our guest, Blake Reilly!

Episode 84: Footprints (re-edit)

Wed, 28 Aug 2019 23:51:27 -0000

We won’t keep you waiting out in the cold for this week’s episode. Aaron and Tracy discuss “Footprints” (not the poem). I know it isn’t Christmas, but we’ll leave it to that other podcast to keep things to the right season. We do things the right way: Alphabetically! So we open our door to you so you can join us by the fire for this discussion.

“…and as I looked out on the landscape as I attempted to begin my writing for the week, all I could see was the fog rolling across the bay.” I think that was what they were referring to, right? Because this week, we are talking about the Fog of Writing. Or maybe they meant the book “Defending a Superhero” by Matt Murdoch’s friend, Mr. Nelson, Esq. What? No? That is the writing of Foggy. hmmm… well, listen in to see if we figure it out what the “Fog of Writing” is really about.

Episode 79: Fight The Power

Tue, 23 Jul 2019 05:11:05 -0000

We feel for you NYC. This week, you had to fight the power outage. It’s been worse and at least it wasn’t 100 degrees, but it’s hard to go without power. We are glad you all survived. You didn’t have a zombie outbreak you had to fight, or rioting and looting that you had to fight. You just had to fight the power. Even though I’m without Michelle and Aaron for one more week, I was fortunately to fight the power with Saker from “It’s All Been Done” podcast. This was so much fun! I hope you all enjoy it as much as I did in recording it. Will we bury the hatchet in each other’s backs or in the ground? Will we fight over the power and control, or will we agree on this song? You’ll have to listen in to find out. Stay after for an extra tidbit. And make sure you check out this week’s special artwork on our website or Facbeook page.

Episode 78: Falling for the First Time

Help… I need somebody…. not just any body. You know I need someone…. wait. Wrong song. But thinking of falling reminds me of that song. Interestingly enough, I do discuss different Beatles songs with our guest this week, Jeff Whitmire! I am so happy to have him on and not just because we are without Michelle and Aaron this week (although they do chime in with their thoughts). But Jeff is so interesting, that I don’t even miss them. And I’m a bad boy for breaking her heart. Wait… that’s also a different song about falling. I am digressing, so let’s just get on with the show.

This was the first thing that came to mind when Michelle was talking:

It’s a weird week, as we don’t have Aaron or Michelle, so there is a lot of splicing and email responding. Sorry, but I hate holding off too long between episodes. We will be back to our usual selves soon. Until then, enjoy this episode and these wonderful appearances.

Tue, 26 Feb 2019 05:25:14 -0000

It will be “One Week” before you get to hear another episode where we discuss a song by Barenaked Ladies because this week, Aaron and I had the distinct pleasure of talking with Susan Rogers, who among her many accolades can say that she co-produced “Stunt” for Barenaked Ladies 20 years ago. We were so enthused to have this opportunity, so please forgive us as we stood aside most of the time and just let this stunningly intelligent person astound us.

The book that she references in the interview is:

And this week you will be curious as to where Aaron went, but he is just sick. But unlike the cat, curiosity didn’t kill him. Which is luck for us, because he doesn’t have 8 extra lives.

Episode 55: Crazy

This week’s song is going to drive me crazy. Is it two songs? Is it three? Is it one? Are there really voices in the background, or are they all just in my head? What are they saying? Please listen this week and let us know on Facebook or www.bowlingstormtrooperentertainment.com to give us what you know.By the way, after note, the versions on Variety Recordings and Barenaked Recess do not have the “jam session” or “Dat Fodder”. You should listen… very different.

Episode 52: Conventioneers

Tonight we discuss lounge lizards at San Diego ComicCon…. or maybe it is just the song Conventioneers. We invite more people on the show (@WilliamShatner, @BenFolds) and discuss which BNL member we would have our one night stand with. Well, okay, the last one is a lie. Our significant others might not be happy with that last discussion. But I had so much fun editing the end of this one that I couldn’t breathe at one point. I hope you all enjoy it as much as I did.

I don’t fix my “pronounciations”, but we adjust our numbers so we can start the year with an accurate ratings system. And, thanks to Bobby, we have a lot of fun.

Please go out next week and buy Steven’s new album, Heal Thyself Part II: Discipline, out Sept. 14! If you don’t own them already, buy Page One. It’s an amazing album.

I can’t be my best all the time. Some of these are just going to be mediocre. Hopefully, some day another label will buy us and then our intros will be written by them. In a few weeks, we’ll only be discussing a demo song. How much do you think I’ll have to say on that one? This is a really long episode, so there is no appearance/fact tonight.

Matter of fact, he’s not here this week, but we do have a guest. Don’t blame him though. or Aaron.

Episode 29: Blacking Out

Tue, 24 Jul 2018 04:32:38 -0000

Episode 29: Blacking Out

I’ve been a little stressed lately. Okay, very. Some people compensate with Alcohol (not this week’s song). Sometimes they compensate too much and Black Out. But we don’t do that anymore. So instead we’ll discuss BNL’s song “Blacking Out”. We are missing Aaron, who is busy doing Time Travel. He stole the TARDIS, but we get a little feed from him. But we start off our month of guests with Andy Hermann, music writer extraordinaire.

My whole universe doesn’t revolve around the Ladies, but they are like the Sun. And tonight we explore an essential song in their catalogue.

Episode 26: Beautiful

What can I say about this week’s episode? It is pretty superficial at first but then it gets deep when we really delve into it. Will you fall in love with us at first listen or will you have to listen a few times before the full magnitude of the discussion becomes evident? We avoid man-splanning while we explore different interpretations of this song. I think, personally, this is one of our best discussions to date.

Episode 25: Be My Yoko Ono

Welcome back to Barenaked ABCs. And a big welcome back to always friend, and automatic member of the podcast, Bobby. This week, we cover one of the most influential songs the band has ever created. And, just as you never knew what Yoko was going to do next, we are very spontaneous in this episode. But man, did we have fun.

I want to apologize in advance. We were having audio problems this week, so I had to bump up the audio and compress it. In the process, there are people talking in the background that became amplified, so you can hear them a little. I was not able to fully diminish the effect, especially since it is 1+ hours this week.

This show is my Yoko Ono. It means a lot to me. So we always want to hear constructive criticism on how to improve the show. We love to know when people are listening to the show, like Tyler Harper. So please send us electronic postcards by visiting us on Facebook or Twitter at Barenaked ABCs, visiting us at Bowling Stormtrooper Entertainment.com, or writing us the barenaked truth of the matter at BarenakedABCs@gmail.com.

Tonight we mug for the camera on a podcast while we discuss a bank job gone wrong. What would stop each of us if we committed a bank job? And like the bank robbers in the song, there is dissention in the ranks as we rank this song.

Episode 23: Ballad of Gordon

Tue, 12 Jun 2018 04:00:01 -0000

Tonight’s song is not a song, but a Ballad. No, it’s not the Ballad of Plain D by Gordon Lightfoot. It’s not the Ballad of John and Yoko (but stick around for Beatles galore in two weeks). Nor is it the Ballad of Gordon and Lily. We are discussing Ballad of Gordon, which is actually a Public Service Announcement for FOX. We discuss what would we feed an alien and what Public Service Announcement we would commission BNL to do.

Episode 21: Bad Day

Tue, 29 May 2018 04:04:52 -0000

As you may have seen, we have spammers. This has just been a bad day. And coincidentally, that is today’s song. This week, we review “Bad Day” off “Snacktime”. I know some of us (ahem, not Tracy) have been harsh on this album so far, but maybe this won’t be a bad day for Snacktime. Tune in to see.

Appearances:

Juno Awards (again) in 2008. This time though, they received a Juno for Best Children’s Album for “Snacktime”. During the press junket, an interviewer asks them to create an improv rap on the spot. So Ed starts freestyling at about 1:25.

Episode 19: Baby Seat

Tue, 15 May 2018 04:03:11 -0000

Tonight is a big night. We move into the Bs!!!! Now that we are out of the A’s, we feel that we are out of the baby phase, maybe into the toddler phase. It is time for us to get out of the baby seat. And tonight we discuss Baby Seat. Aaron starts referencing music all over the place. This song is drum heavy and so is this episode at times. We name drop so many names, basically everyone who has ever lived is now invited on the show.15

The song that Aaron was talking about is “4 Chords” by Axis of Awesome. Coincidentally, “Auld Lang Syne” is also with those 4 chords.

It’s the end of the year as we know it. It’s the end of the year as we know it. It’s the end of the world as we know it. And it is MAY! Ok, so our calendar is a little off. But I wasn’t about to wait another 8 months to start the podcast just to line up this song. So instead, we are talking about New Years in May (better than Christmas in July). Being the first episode of the New Barenaked Year…. Hey! I like that. Let’s start that petition…. We discuss all the other firsts with this song. Listen in as we talk about Barenaked Ladies’ rendition of this holiday classic and then rewind to 2002 to discuss the Juno appearances.

Bite not your frenulum at me, good sir. We are discussing a whole album this week, as we take on “As You Like It”. It is a tome of an episode, with five Acts. There is adventure, love, betrayal, and the horns, the horns, the lusty horns. So, come hither, come hither, come hither.

For those of you that struggle with Shakespeare, Sparknotes.com does a wonderful thing where they not only analyze each scene but also provide a modern English version of each line next to the actual line. And it is pretty accurate by my meager reading.
