I've been a BNL fan since Gordon, and I enjoyed the new disc quite a
bit. "Born On A Pirate Ship" is also my least favorite BNL disc. It's
probably the only CD of theirs where there are a mass number of songs I
would skip over while listening.
My favorite disc has always been "Maybe You Should Drive"..
As for the Alanis/BNL tour, another reason to go is because the opener
is Nellie McKay (at least I think she's on the whole tour).
