These Guys, I've Heard Of
WWDC was this week. It's our annual developer's conference, held at the Moscone Center in San Francisco. One of the highlights of the week is the Thursday night bash across the street in the Yerba Beuna Gardens. Largely, this is 6,000+ developers and Apple engineers standing around eating finger foods and enjoying refreshing beverages.
Each year, we bring in an artist to perform. Last year, it was Ozomatli. (I hadn't heard of them before.) This year, they didn't tell us who it was until they walked out on stage: Barenaked Ladies. I was at the far end of the gardens and didn't hear who it was until they opened with "One Week."
They were thrilled to be playing an Apple gig. They're huge Mac fans, and it showed in the interstitial banter. I really like these guys. Their stuff is pretty clean, they have some clever lyrics, and they can drop lines pretty fast and keep it intelligible.
One new song that I remember is off of their new album, Snack Time ("for children of all ages, but mainly…8"): "7 8 9".
