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.  

Recent live highlights have been The Family Day show we did at Canadian Forces Base Petawawa - where we rocked for over 2000 returning soldiers and their happy families. This was a cool gig cause we got to fly on a giant C-130 Hercules.  They even put seats in it for us!  We also rocked Muskoka Ontario for the benefit of The Canadian Women's Olympic Hockey Team.  Special thanks to all of you who made the trip up North to be with us. You guys always amaze us with your willingness to travel all over the planet to see us rock.  

Coming up we have gigs in, Milwaukee, Muskegon, and Chicago.  Special thanks to the Windy City for breaking up our string of M-town shows!  

I've been cooking for the boys during this last phase of the recording.  Today I made grilled Fish sandwiches with Coleslaw and 7 grain salad. For dinner it was smoked Pork Chops with sides of Sauteed Kale with Mushrooms and Onion and Roasted Rosemary Potatoes.  Ed told me, through a mouthful of Orange Roughy, that I'm catering the whole next album.  "But I want to play drums too!" I replied.  "Anyone can play drums - we need you to cook!" was his sarcastic retort.  I guess if Bun E. Carlos can drive Cheap Trick's bus AND drive the drumkit, then I might be able to fill BNL's gullets while filling the end of 4 bar phrases. Renaissance men, Bun E. and I....
