i've been spinning ted leo's last two releases incessantly - 2001's "the tyranny of distance" and last year's "hearts of oak". i'm impressed more with each listen. shades of thin lizzy wearing a young elvis costello's shades, slipping into a sweet, liquid falsetto for dramatic effect. very energetic, kinetic, but reasonably restrained - most songs top out at under three minutes.
anyone else into these guys?

| That Rude Boys song is very awesome, but that's pretty much all I've heard. Which CD do you likey more? |

I'm more into Sean Na Na, who's closely tied to Ted Leo (T.L. played on some early Sean Na Na albums if I remember right)....similar styles

as of now, i think the earlier record is more solid - song for song. "rude boys" is on the more recent release - a great tune, very catchy.
both albums are great, really great and relatively easy to (ahem, cough) download using software like soulseek.
i plan to buy them both! really i do!

| i saw 'em in the middle of last year and started a thread about 'em. i think Ted Leo should let the girl sing more background vocals.. she's a babe. |

wasn't trying to one-up you galoof, just concurring with the ted leo/pharmacists appreciation sentiment.
i kind of burnt out on them, but i still like 'em. he's great live..
