I like the Barenaked Ladies. I like them because they are a real alternative band, and they aren't the kind of bands that all sound alike (like Local H, Matchbox 20, Social Distortion, Tonic, The Verve Pipe, 7 Mary 3, and the like). They are the real definition of “alternative” if you go by the real founders of it, The Violent Femmes. I love acoustic bands and this is another reason that I like them and as you can probably tell, I'm just writing down whatever to fill the space until I get the time to really create this page! It will be awesome, too because I recently saw them in concert and they were AWESOME!!!
For the time being, read what I have on my other page:
On Labor Day, I saw Barenaked Ladies at Mill City. Barenaked Ladies were awesome. I can't tell you how cool they were. They sang a lot of songs that I hadn't heard before (I only have their Shoe Box EP), but I think most of them were off of Born On A Pirate Ship. They played that Straw Hat and Dirty Old Hank song ("I'm a farmer. I work in the fields all day...") and Brian Wilson (I don't know why I mentioned the Straw Hat song; that's off of BOAPS). "If I Had $1000000" was great. People did the whole throwing macaroni at Stephen Page at the appropriate part, but the cool thing was when someone threw a stuffed monkey at the monkey part. Mr. Page was not expecting it, so he swore and moved away from the flying monkey. When he got back, he had lost his place and screwed up part of the lyrics. Cool, huh? At the end of "If I Had 1000000," Stephen Page went right into "Memory," and that was awesome. They did a lot of improv, like songs called "Smooth Jazz," "Negative Energy [Flip Off The Clouds]," and "Down With BNL, Yeah You Know Me." They also did a medley of songs such as "Firestarter," that Cardigans song that was way overplayed, "If You Wanna Be My Lover," and songs like those.
Tell me, what's the circumstance of circumcision?
And what goes in my daughter's pants is whose decision?
I've seen the facts of inter-race relations,
Of see-through slacks, of cyber-masterbation.
If 100 monkeys each could get their own show,
Perhaps one day, a chimp might say:
“You have faith, you just need to use it,” sayeth the Lord.

Don't you like this background? I scanned my overalls. The real mccoy (Dickies) and not the fake ones (Oshkosh).
