You know what's pretty much the best bit of wordplay I've heard in a song?

From Barenaked Ladies' "Sell Sell Sell"* (which is an amazing song btw): in terms of Roman numerals, he's Ivy League like Roman Polanski.

I mean really. Who thinks of a lyric like that? IV = Ivy, it's such a weird turn of phrase to use in a song. God, I miss having a ton of BNL on my Zune.

Current DLs of Human Trajectory: 43. Success? Little feedback makes me unsure, but hey.

* Also, for anyone familiar with the show Dexter, there is a phenomenal fanvid done to this song.

That is one of my all-time favourite BNL lyrics.

That and the really meta... I think it's called "Testing". I used to have it (and a lot of others) but I have yet to find it again. 8B

They are so cool and capable of doing heartfelt, nerdy, hilarious, and beautiful stuff. I love BNL, though I could die happy never hearing the Postcards song.

I am pretty sure BNL have supplanted Queen as my all time favourite band.

If that's the same as the epic tale of items being sent from overseas, I love that song (deliberately obtuse so you don't get it stuck in your head, should it be one and the same.)

I'm both excited and nervous about their new album in the New Year... Will it be as good without Steven Page?

I can't single out a favourite song, never mind a lyric. Right now I'm drawn to When I Fall, but a few months ago it was Am I The Only One.

You have seen The Bathroom Sessions on Youtube, haven't you? Ed in his bathroom with his guitar. It's beautiful...

Right, I'm off for a BNL binge now... :)
