Just in time for the holidays, Barenaked Ladies has come forth with a nice little stocking stuffer for the die-hard and casual fan alike. A 120 MB flash drive, complete with videos, audio, photos and buddy icons. Barenaked On A Stick is a nifty new promotional idea that is sure to catch on with other artists.
In the video folder there are four video clips from the recording of the band's Christmas album, Barenaked For the Holidays. Rough around the edges, they are truly behind the scenes footage, but that is what makes them so endearing. They are a fly on the wall peak at what happens in the studio and in just hanging out with the band, very similar in mood and feel to the clips featured in the "Jim's Videos" Section of Barenaked Ladies Official Website.
The music folder is the most impressive with cuts from the entire Barenaked for the Holidays disc as well as a demo to the song "aluminum", seven live songs, and four best of ad-libs cuts. The ad-lib cuts are clips taken from their live show where they get off and begin improvising on stage. For most Barenaked Ladies fans these clips would be enough to justify the purchase of the flash drive.
In addition to the above mentioned, there are ten photos of the band members and album covers. Most are sized to be suitable for computer wall paper, and several buddy icons that the die-hard fan can use with the variety of messenger programs or on their blogs.
The best part of Barenaked on a Stick is that at $35.00 it is comparable in price to a empty flash drive. So you can't go wrong with this purchase, be it for yourself or for an stocking stuffer for a friend or relative who is a fan. The item is available from the Barenaked Ladies Official Website or from Amazon zshops.
