Flowers By the Door

It always comes in threes: Ray Charles passed away today at the age of 73.
In happier news, I've heard an unsubstantiated rumor from a reputable source that Ted Leo is going to be married. I can't think of a better present than for you all to rush out (figuratively speaking) and buy his albums. I would too, if I didn't own them already.
Holy. Fucking. Shit. Will Ferrell + flute solo = mad genius!
I just discovered Ted Leo over the last couple months and can't believe I spent all this time not knowing about his music. He's playing for free at the South Street Seaport in New York on June 25, and I am so there.

He's amazing live; I'm sure you'll have a great time at the show. He puts out 110% the whole time on stage.
There are hardly enough words in the language to express how great Ted is, but many people have tried and done a pretty fair job. He is, after all, one of the most talented songwriters working today.

ted leo is one of the last punks on the earth, and perhaps the best songwriter working today. he will save rocknroll. viva ted. now if he would only give me that damn wedding invite...
