Anyone that knows me well knows that I've been a huge fan of the Barenaked Ladies for years (long before they hit it big with "One Week"). The new BNL album entitled "Barenaked Ladies Are Me" is scheduled to be released September 12th in the USA! The first single "Easy" is due out at the end of June.

In fact, BNL is making the raw audio tracks from "Easy" available in the hope that fans will "remix, re-create, re-edit, re-configure, and realize what you will with these parts in coming up with your own versions." BNL will pre-release four more songs in this manner over the rest of the summer. Then the band will vote on the re-mixes and the winning five will comprise an EP with all proceeds donated to charity.

I love Barenaked Ladies! And the band is pretty cool too.

Wow... Check out the video preview for Heroes, airing on NBC Monday nights this fall. I know that it's easy to be fooled by three minutes of random video, but I can still hope that this lives up to its potential.

(Thanks for the tip, Alan.)
