Barenaked Ladies New Song Samples
On the Au Naturale Tour, BNL played new songs at most shows. When the shows were
available for download, I bought them because I'm just compulsive that way. They've
since gone into the studio and recorded many of these songs and are playing them
and other new ones on the Barenaked for the Holidays '05 Tour.
For people who aren't sure which shows they want to buy, I've made short MP3
samples (~30 seconds) of the new songs. These are below. I've tried to make the
samples representative of the flavor of each song. I hope they help guide your
purchasing decisions. Following each song is a link to the show(s) you can buy
to get the whole song. Remember, live songs may have banter or other, um, embellishments
that you wouldn't get on a studio track. Also, you may be able to find free audience
recordings of some of these songs elsewhere, I won't provide links here, but I will
mention the ones I know exist.
If you have questions, feel free to e-mail me.
The one question I will answer right now...."Will you mail me ***song***?" -- NO.
