I'm not sure if anyone else here is as into the BNL as I am, but I thought I'd post this link anyway. It's not a new album by the Barenaked Ladies (that'd be ridiculous, they already put out two in one year's time) - instead, it's a serious of videos that Ed Robertson posted to YouTube, with just him (occasionally accompanied by Stephen Page) on an acoustic guitar, recording songs in his bathroom. The songs span the band's entire discography, and include hits, obscure album tracks, even obscurer unreleased tracks, and basically whatever fans requested. It's really great to see that these guys still appreciate their old material, that it holds up so well against their newer stuff, and that so many different types of songs from their repertoire sound good stripped down to the bare basics. Here's the link - songs for all videos are posted individually so you don't have to search through one big long video to find the song you want:
