We're having a day off in Chicago after playing Muskegon yesterday.  

I've said it once, and I'll say it again, Muskegon is a special place for me. But is it shallow to feel a connection with a place just because it rhymes with your last name?   I'm convinced an old country song is buried somewhere in Michigan.  "Jimmy Creeggan from Muskegon, it's been a while since we've seen 'em...".

 Thanks for a great night, Milwaukee.  Our Summerfest show totally rocked because of you.  There really is nothing like playing outside in the summer - even if it's under a giant expressway!  We played three new ones last night: How Long, Summertime,  and Another Heartbreak - all of which you seemed to enjoy, based on the reception, and the feedback we got at the signing after the show. I particularly enjoyed Kevin's random lyrics in IIHAMD, and the awesome rock and roll, above-head-claps during the vocal breakdown in Wind It Up.

Wow.  Last day of recording here.  We are currently in the enviable position of having completed less songs than we have yet to complete.  Feels good.  In the way an unexpected kick in the throat feels good.  The good news is... what we HAVE finished is sounding incredible, and we're looking at solutions to record the balance while Bob is mixing.  I think we can, I think we can, I think we can.

 I hope Tyler posts video of this really soon, cause it's awesome.  Tyler has spent the last 3 or 4 hours preparing some killer ribs on the patio here.  He decided mid prep that he need to sing a really high harmony, so he rolled in to the iso booth with rib sauce and beans all over his apron, and just rocked it.  So funny.  Ty in his sunglasses, and apron bustin some BGs.  I love my job.

OK - I guess Ed was serious about finding someone else.  Looks like he decided on an all Hi-Hat approach from now on. Revolutionary...

It's so nice to have a fancy new way to communicate with y'all!  Special thanks to Mace and Thales and Nettwerk for putting this together.  

If you've been following our studio updates www.twitter.com/barenakedladies you already know that we're in the home stretch of recording the new Barenaked Ladies album.  Just a few more backing vocals and some shakes and quakes and we'll be ready to mix dis ting with the legendary Bob Clearmountain.

 We're on pace for another 2 song day like we had yesterday.  But we just spun up "Graffiti Love" which is feeling kick ass.  Maybe this one actually only needs some BGs, and we can move on to another.  Fingers crossed.  Tyler is cooking steaks on the Big Green Egg.  Mmmmmmmm

 I agree with Louis CK that EVERYTHING is a double-edged sword (I also agree that Deer are assholes).  That is why I must be happy that one of Canada's Female Olympic Hockey players was overheard at our recent gig saying, "That Ed Guy is really hot"...  and simply live with the fact that the sentence ended with "for an old guy".
