BNL1: I'm the "crazy" one, can't you tell by the straight-jacket?
BNL2: I'm the "cool" one, can't you tell by the beret?
BNL3: I'm the "down" one, can't you tell by my prepped-for-fistcrunch pose and vaguely blackular hair?
BNL4&5: We were in the chess club!

which one lost his virg first?

― petesmith (plsmith), Wednesday, 7 September 2005 19:46 (twenty years ago)

i think it was lower-left.

― petesmith (plsmith), Wednesday, 7 September 2005 19:47 (twenty years ago)

Why do the two guys in the left corner have the exact same pair of dork glasses? Are they CHN issued or something?

― jocelyn (Jocelyn), Wednesday, 7 September 2005 19:47 (twenty years ago)

I especially like how beret-dude's jaw is all crookedy. Like he was involved in some kind of horrible blowjob accident.

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Wednesday, 7 September 2005 19:48 (twenty years ago)

...and had to BITE SOME SHIT. Hence the expression on straight-jacket dude's face.

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Wednesday, 7 September 2005 19:48 (twenty years ago)

Not to mention the straight-jacket.

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Wednesday, 7 September 2005 19:48 (twenty years ago)

haha "straight" jacket

Ebert's wearing a wedding ring.

dude on the bottom left looks like he got lost on the way to the feelies' crazy rhythms cover photo shoot.

is the pepsi logo attacking them, passively?

It's about to jump down curlytop's throat.

I have to give BNL this much... I never expected they would have a second album.. and several followups. And still exist today.

I thought the same of Teenage Fanclub after Bandwagonesque too.

I gave some other bands from 1991-1992 far more promise, and.. well.. they just didn't survive..(some literally)

The early 90s was a time of deception indeed.

― donut Get Behind Me Carbon Dioxide (donut), Wednesday, 7 September 2005 22:41 (twenty years ago)

Yes, much like the Teletubbies' scary baby-sun.

― Joseph McCombs (Joseph McCombs), Wednesday, 7 September 2005 23:33 (twenty years ago)

Hold on, you're ripping on them because they're not as cool as Sailor Moon? Way to come off like the shift supervisor at the poutine shack, King Retard.

dude, nothing is as cool as Sailor Moon. not even you.
now get back to work, you still have like 3 hours left on your shift.

I actually like the album, but wow, I probably wouldn't have if my copy had the cover at the top. How do you buy something like that?

― Vinnie (vprabhu), Thursday, 8 September 2005 13:22 (twenty years ago)

seriously though, guys, this album is really really great.

shut the fuck up, you commie! you're either with us or against us! now take a shot against these geeks or die standing by your 'principles.'

― richard wood johnson, Thursday, 8 September 2005 15:55 (twenty years ago)

that was a joke, btw. sort of.

― richard wood johnson, Thursday, 8 September 2005 15:55 (twenty years ago)

Looks like they found a replacement for Jerry Lewis.

― Pleasant Plains /// (Pleasant Plains ///), Thursday, 8 September 2005 16:31 (twenty years ago)

If I can enjoy an album with no absolutely no irony that has this cover:

or this album...

..then I don't see the big deal with Gordon.

First of all, Bob & Doug is supposed to be comedy, eh?

As far as the others, it's one thing to try not to be funny and be funny. It's even worse when an artist tries to be funny and isn't funny.

― Pleasant Plains /// (Pleasant Plains ///), Thursday, 8 September 2005 17:39 (twenty years ago)

And I feel kinda guilty everytime I see that "Notifications Sent Successfully!" line come up everytime I hit "submit".

― Pleasant Plains /// (Pleasant Plains ///), Thursday, 8 September 2005 17:40 (twenty years ago)

Then again, maybe I don't.

― Pleasant Plains /// (Pleasant Plains ///), Thursday, 8 September 2005 17:41 (twenty years ago)

Are you sure????

Heh heh, actually, more to the point, are you sure the BNL are NOT trying to be comedy on some degree on that album? I know they're not a "comedy" band.. but then again, neither are The Evaporators, but they're far more hilarious than most "comedy" bands...

As for "notifications sent successfully" guilt.. I mean, come on, "TS: Most Retarded-Looking BNL Member on this Album cover"? I'm not shedding any tears here.

― donut Get Behind Me Carbon Dioxide (donut), Thursday, 8 September 2005 18:12 (twenty years ago)

i'm still laughing over the phrase "fatbeard badshave"

"I never expected they would have a second album and several followups. And still exist today. I thought the same of Teenage Fanclub after Bandwagonesque too."

You will recall that Bandwagonesque was their second album.

I have and enjoy Catholic Education. thanks, pedant.

― donut Get Behind Me Carbon Dioxide (donut), Thursday, 8 September 2005 18:20 (twenty years ago)

(waiting next for the correction: "Actually the album is called A Catholic Eduction")

― donut Get Behind Me Carbon Dioxide (donut), Thursday, 8 September 2005 18:22 (twenty years ago)

(and I even have and love The King)

― donut Get Behind Me Carbon Dioxide (donut), Thursday, 8 September 2005 18:23 (twenty years ago)

One thing that hasn't been mentioned is that they look like they sound.

Retarded and awful and trying much too hard. Give them that.

TS: Barenaked Ladies lyrics vs. El-P lyrics

Chickity China the Chinese chicken
You have a drumstick and your brain stops tickin'
Watchin' X-Files with no lights on
We're dans la maison
I hope the Smoking Man's in this one
Like Harrison Ford I'm getting frantic
Like Sting I'm tantric
Like Snickers, guaranteed to satisfy

vs.

Yo, yo, a bottle rocket, conflicted, I'll throw you a flaming wingnick
Looking for a hero's stars, Looking for heart in the halls
I swear, that lust monkey sweat soaks my balls
And this is one step from a junkie living, breakin in doors
My face low, for thermonucleus games
Spill rain the open drain, who the fuckk is down to steal me some pain
I'm feeling ancient with this shit, on some capitalist order scripts

Which Emerson Lake & Palmer are those from?

I think beret-head got cancer. it was in their behind the music.

― sdglkj, Friday, 9 September 2005 05:03 (twenty years ago)

nope, that was Kevin Hearn who may or may not have been in the band at the time of Gordon. if he was, he's bottom left corner guy

I know nothing about this band. For all I know, they sound like an awesome combination of Led Zeppelin and Pavement.
