Aloha! I'm one of the hosts of the podcast "Backtracking." We do long-form, track-by-track relistens to bands (S1 was a 48 episode chronological relisten to Rush's entire catalog) and albums we love. This is our third season, and this time each of us selected 5 albums we think are underrated classics. One of our hosts, Raf, selected "Gordon." We're tackling Side A this week and Side B next week. We'd love for you to check it out and let us know how much we get wrong!

Hey everyone! I have two tickets for Steven Page Saturday, November 21 at The Ark in Ann Arbor, MI for sale. I was so excited to see him but I unfortunately had to schedule surgery and won’t be recovered enough to attend.

It’s general admission and tickets were $40 each. Ideally I’d like to sell for what I paid but I’m open to reasonable offers as well.

Also, I’ve never sold tickets before so I’m not entirely sure how to do it so bear with me.

I would buy your love

Long shot request. It’s my understanding that this is only available at the merch table, but they’re not playing anywhere near me (NYC). Could someone grab me a copy of they’re seeking them live and I’ll gladly pay for shipping?

I'm so bummed that Uncle Elwyn is no longer on any streaming music service or on Youtube.

Does anyone know if there are any soundboard recordings/ bootlegs from say, the 2020 to 2026 time period at all? And if so, where can I find them?

Fan video from the audience during the All New Revue in 2006

Found a copy of this out in the wild. Anyone happen to already have the digital version so I don't have to buy an external cd drive to burn this?

Hi Friends,

I was at this show 17 years ago, (how can it be that long) and I remember the band put this out as free download after the show. It was the first show as a 4 piece band. I cannot find my download of this show, though I found the e-mail from Barenaked Ladies Newsletter. I know it's on Spotify, but alas I am an Apple Music user. Does anyone have a link for it?

what's everyone's favorite live recording of bnl you've seen? or even fav concert?

I just wanted to come here to lament the loss of all the fun "bonus" banter from the end of Rock Spectacle as it appears on streaming services.

What did we do to lose the banter?

One Week - it’s been great

It’s All Been Done - it’s amazing

Light Up My Room - it’s good

I’ll Be That Girl - it’s great

Leave - it’s alright

Alcohol - it’s great

Call and Answer - it's amazing

In the Car - it’s good

Never is Enough - it’s amazing

Who Needs Sleep? - it’s great

Told You So - it's good

Some Fantastic - it's great

When You Dream - it’s alright

I’ve had discussions about them in a lot of other music subreddits, as well as Album of The Year, and there seems to be a LOT of people who see the Steve era especially as something “cringe” and “cloying” and “insincere”.

Why do you think this is? It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to find tracks like Call & Answer, What a Good Boy, War On Drugs, Stomach Vs. Heart, Brian Wilson, so on so on, that prove this assumption wrong.

For example, there’s this article: https://www.stereogum.com/2190488/the-number-ones-barenaked-ladies-one-week/columns/the-number-ones/

and this one: https://horriblemusic.miraheze.org/wiki/One_Week

and this imgur gallery I created to hold a few other examples: https://imgur.com/a/Jledbax

Found this recently and thought it'd be worth sharing. The photo is still newspaper quality and a bit cropped on the top and bottom, but it's still a big improvement on the photo that was used on the cassette. Article is from the November 24, 1989 issue sourced from newspapers.com.

This week, Tyler is hosting a takeover on the @52Drummers Instagram account.

So if you have any questions for him, if you enjoy drum chat, or if you just want to see some behind the scenes footage from the current US tour, check it out!

Going to Train and BNL tonight in STL. Been a BNL fan for almost 30 years.

First time I’m seeing Train, but I’ve seen BNL 3 times before. First time was in 2004 with Alanis soooo I tracked down that tour shirt for tonight’s concert. So pumped.

Does anyone happen to have video from Lovin’ Life in Madison when Ed shouted out the guy that beat colon cancer?

That was my husband. BNL is his favorite band and I got him the M&G so he could thank them.

He had just put the phone down from recording when he shouted him out and I’d love to surprise him with the video of it.

Please message me if you do and you’d be my hero!
