Ted Leo xoxo

With the new Arcade Fire and Modest Mouse records coming out in March, we want to make sure our man Ted gets his proper due for Living with the Living, scheduled to release March 20.

The new album's on the internet, and it's dang good. I haven't quite gotten into the whole thing yet, but from a cursory listen it sounds like TL decided spread the love around and make a song for every genre. Plus there's a tune about this,which looks freakin' tasty as hell.

Here's a link to one notable track, Bomb. Repeat. Bomb (1954), courtesy of TheHypeMachine. Sounds like Ted's summoning the specter of late-80s/early-90s post-punk, with delicious, delicious results.

In other news, Buzzsaw's putting on a FREE show this Thursday, March 1 at No Radio RecordsSkybox, Stanley & the Livingstons, The Tundra Toes, and the unholy debut of This Fantastic. Music starts at 6:30pm.
