Barenaked ABCs - Alphabetical Barenaked Ladies Catalog

It will be “One Week” before you get to hear another episode where we discuss a song by Barenaked Ladies because this week, Aaron and I had the distinct pleasure of talking with Susan Rogers, who among her many accolades can say that she co-produced “Stunt” for Barenaked Ladies 20 years ago. We were so enthused to have this opportunity, so please forgive us as we stood aside most of the time and j...

Do you want to know what this week’s song is?  Do I have your interest peaked?  It’s not “Mystery”.  It starts with “C” as we end with our “C”s.  It’s Curious.  And this week you will be curious as to where Aaron went, but he is just sick.  But unlike the cat, curiosity didn’t kill him.  Which is luck for us, because he doesn’t have 8 extra lives.    Song    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-iDDVjB...
