I don’t know why, but I’ve been rediscovering early Barenaked Ladies and early Pat Green the last week or two. I can’t say that I care much for what BNL have done since (and including?) “One Week,” nor that I care much for what Mr. Green has done since around 2003, but “Old Apartment” still makes me want to start singing – badly – at the top of my lungs, and early Pat Green still gets me to fall in love with my wife all over again.

early BNL is great.
Report
They are to this day one of exactly two bands I’ve seen multiple times in concert. And I haven’t seen them in concert since 1999.Report
I miss them. They were pretty damn reliable for great albums and concerts for a long, long time.Report
I went to the same high school as Steve and Ed; they were a few years older than me, but I did see them play (at an assembly in the auditorium) when BNL was just the two of them in 1989. And yes, they had ‘If I had $1 000 000’ even back then.Report
“The Old Apartment” was going to be the music video I put in this thread but decided against it at the last minute.
I am pleased that it is here now.Report
Is there a story involving Pat Green and your marriage?Report
A story? No. But if there’s a song that we’d call “our song,” it’d be a Pat Green song, and probably this one. We both became aware of him not long after we started dating and he was sort of the one musician that we grew to enjoy together.Report
Oddly enough, I’m pretty sure that post was one of the reasons BNL’s been back on my mind the last few days. That, and the fact that they’ve suddenly been showing up on my Pandora feed.Report
‘Alcohol’ remains the only BNL song I really love.Report
This demonstrates your sneering elitist disdain for common Canadians.Report
As an Ottawa Senators fan, I believe nearly all of Canada shares your sentiments about me, Mark.Report
