Hi
I'm new here, but have been a fan of the Ladies since 1991, with the Yellow Tape, just before the explosion of popularity caused by the infamous Toronto City Hall ban in December. My art teacher was a fan of playing music in the class when we were working on projects and she came in with this 5 track tape from some guys called Barenaked Ladies (that made us laugh and we were all interested immediately). "If I Had $1000000" was her favourite song. I tried to buy the tape at my local record shop, but they didn't have it. I copied my teacher's tape and listened to that. I'm from a small town outside Toronto, so the fervour hit in December, suddenly the store had them and I bought my copy, which I still own.
Now I'm writing a book on them which goes date by known date and tracks their recording and release history in chronological order. It covers dates and recordings in the studio, on tour, their side and solo projects and also takes a detailed look at their rare tracks, non-album songs, edits, remixes, early demos and indie releases, really everything I can think of!
I've written two other books like this, The Queen Chronology (covering the band Queen) and The Mike Oldfield Chronology. This will be The Barenaked Ladies Chronology.
I've set up an IndieGoGo campaign to help me work on it and the details are here: tinyurl.com/prnsgn4
I'll keep everyone posted on its progress and am open to thoughts, suggestions and information anyone has that may be considered obscure or uncommon knowledge. I don't want to miss any details or overlook a rare release.
Cheers,
Patrick
