Barenaked Ladies Album Due In October

What would you do if you had a million dollars, aside from "be rich,"
that is? Would you ditch The Old Apartment for One Week and go on a
cruise? Nah, It's All Been Done… just ask Jane, Enid, or Brian
Wilson. OK, so the song references are a little weak, but you have to
know what band we're hinting at – that's right, Canada's own dream
team, Barenaked Ladies. And we know that all the members of BNL are
rich by now, seeing as they exploded into mainstream-success-land
(also known as the U.S.A.) about five years ago, with their fifth
full-length studio album, Stunt. Never mind the fact that Canada has
been digging the Ladies' unique brand of ironic-alt-rock since the
late `80s.
And finally, after a three-year studio hiatus following the release
of 2000's Maroon, the Ladies are back in action and ready to deliver
their seventh full-lengther this fall. Titled Everything To Everyone,
the album will tentatively hit stores on October 21. Everything To
Everyone was recorded and mastered in L.A. and was mixed by Mike
Shipley (who has also worked with Queen, Def Leppard and Shania
Twain, among others). According to the band's online web log, the
finishing touches were put on the new material back in June. So now,
fans just get to play the waiting game.
The final tracklisting has yet to be released, but for curious uber-
fans across the nation, a few of the song titles include "Take It
Outside," "Celebrity" and "War On Drugs." According to a recent entry
by guitarist Ed Robertson, the latter is "a long and complex piece,
in the vein of `Call And Answer'… not thematically, just in terms of
musical approach."
There are no current tour plans for the Ladies, though it's likely
they'll hit the road in the fall to promote the new album. Also, if
you're going to be in Guelph, ON tonight, you can catch the Ladies
live at a special pre-Hillside Festival concert.
Rockontv.com says bnl will be appearing on E News Live on 7/31 at
7:00 pm and again on 8/01 at 12:00 pm.

If you happened to be watching TV this morning you may have caught a
new commercial for the Toronto Summer City Campaign that stars BNL
and Jason Priestly. The commercial is currently airing in Canada and
in the U.S. It was actually one of the commercials that aired during
Regis and Kelly this morning and will continued to be shown at
various times on ABC, CBS and NBC.
The commercials show BNL being thanked by a representative for doing
the commercial. He then brings out their wardrobe….THONGS!!!!! They
then cut to shots of Toronto and when they come back they show the
guys making funny facwes holding the underwear and Jim is even
wearing one over his pants. Jason Priestly then walks in and says
something to them about the Thongs.
Another commercial for Toronto features BNL and Jason Priestly in it.
It is for Toronto's new add/slogan campaign called "You Belong Right
Here". Watch closely because BNL is only in it for a split second.
