AIPTO: Maybe You Should Drive (Barenaked Ladies)

Who? We round off our month of endless posting with Ed. Ed is the other lead of BNL. Although he has no musical side-projects to speak of, he has his pilot’s license, and his own TV show in Canada. I have only seen bits and pieces, but it’s pretty fantastic. Well, I mean, Ed’s pretty fantastic. He comes off as fun and sincere and down-to-earth and goofy. And I think you know by now that being in BNL means you’re in the top tier of musicians. It’s hard to say things about Ed that I haven’t already said about everyone else, because he does deserve some sort of distinction. Ed is made of awesome. Ed’s…he’s Ed, is the thing. And if I were to describe someone as Ed-like, you know that person would probably kick ass.
Why it’s awesome: This is BNL’s second album, which didn’t actually do well commercially (only because people are idiots, not because it isn’t great). I don’t have a favorite BNL album, but if I were trying to pick one this would totally make it to the finals. This album has such a pleasant cohesiveness to it…maybe some sort of unifying softness. I can’t describe it. Anyway, you should own this one too. It has a great cover, if nothing else.

And with that, we are finished.
