Ted Leo Appreciation Thread

[TomAz]

You people are crazy. I like the new album.

[keriann]

it's le boring

except Sons of Cain, which owns face

[ewiggy]

me and mia ann and anna.

[canexplain]

i agree with tomaz, its not bad ... someone gave me a burn of the cd and i have heard it maybe 4 times all the way thru ... dont know if anyone will agree with this statement, but there was a group, years ago, jason and the scorchers, ted sounds a little like that but with a west coast twist, not cow town .... cr****

[TomAz]

Jason & the Scorchers! best cover ever of "Absolutely Sweet Marie".

I don't hear the similiarity to TL&tP though.

[woootcoachellababy!]

me and mia rocks

ya, it might be a push but just the sound of the simple out and out rock and roll guitars and such .... way more punk of course ... check out their web site , there is a funny blog about them playing in disney land or one of those places.... cr******

[dorkfish]

the chumbawamba cover is neat

[keriann]

I listened to this album once and disowned it for being mediocre and now I'm giving it a second chance and it's angering me how not good it is. I am mad at you for putting me through this Tom.

[dorkfish]

did you listen to the bonus disc yet?

now thats funny ... so what have you heard lately you really like so we can get a level playing field here ?? cr*****

[keriann]

Armchair Apocrypha is pretty much the only album that matters right now.

[ewiggy]

^_^

[keriann]

*to me.

[canexplain]

Armchair Apocrypha is pretty much the only album that matters right now.

that is funny too, the person who gave me the burn of ted also gave me a burn of that, he said it was really good, but sort of "slow" .. i havent listened to it yet, so i will give it a try .... cr*****

I dunno. I'm hearing him venture out to new territories and doing it well.

did you listen to the bonus disc yet?

I downloaded on iTunes, not sure what's bonus and what's core.

Mo Living EP:

[keriann]

Oh jesus you need to get it now. It's a great album. Very different in overall sound from Mysterious Production of Eggs. Both albums are beautiful in their own, not comparable ways.

[canexplain]

she must have had hippie parents lol ... cr*****

When we were at school our games were simple
I played a janitor, you played a monitor
Then you played with older boys and prefects
What's the attraction in what they're doing

Hey Carrie Anne, what's your game now, can anybody play
Hey Carrie Anne, what's your game now, can anybody play

You were always something special to me
Quite independent, never caring
You lost you're charm as you were ageing
Where is your magic disappearing

Hey Carrie Anne, what's your game now, can anybody play
Hey Carrie Anne, what's your game now, can anybody play

You're so, so like a woman to me (so like a woman to me)
So, (so), so (so) like a woman to me ( like a woman to me)

Hey Carrie Anne, what's your game now, can anybody play
Hey Carrie Anne, what's your game now, can anybody play

People live and learn, but you're still learning
You use my mind and I'll be your teacher
When the lesson's over, you'll be with me
Then I'll hear the other people saying

Hey Carrie Anne, what's your game now, can anybody play
Hey Carrie Anne, what's your game now, can anybody play

Carrie Anne

I like the Mysterious Production of Eggs album. not heard the new one.

Armchair is a fucking monster. Ted Leo's new one is b.b.b.b.b.b.boooooring.

[TomAz]

did you crap your pants?

[dorkfish]

she must have had hippie parents lol ... cr*****

exactly

[Yablonowitz]

did you crap your pants?

Andrew Bird makes me crap my pants every time I listen to it.

Ted gives me constipation.

[bmack86]

Andrew Bird bores me.

[canexplain]

exactly

although i am a hippie parent, my youngest is named Cinnamon (after Neils song) so it goes cr*****

[Yablonowitz]

Andrew Bird bores me.

I'm going to pretend you didn't just say that. Because I know a guy with as discerning of an ear as you couldn't possibly have just said that. Therefore, you didn't.

[bmack86]

Maybe I'll have to try his other stuff, but the new one left me cold. I can't get into it. And I usually like that style of music.
