Random Friday ∞ Barenaked

You could say The Duke is a closet Barenaked Ladies fan. Their kids album is quite nice, if you are a hipster parent.

Kevin Hearn is the Ladies’ keyboardist. (He was also the man to push the Ladies to make said kids’ album.) Kev’s got a new album out – Havana Winter – that is short on time but long on a good time. Uptempo and fun, Havana Winter is chalk full of special guests: Lou Reed and Laurie Anderson add their two cents, not to mention vocalist Mary Margaret O’Hara and jazz saxophonist Richard Underhill.
