My heart's been bothering me for the past couple of weeks. Normally when I'm talking about my heart it's in non-physical terms but this time I'm talking muscle. Lately it's been doing some very weird acrobatics, lurching and palpitating, so I'm getting it checked out. Today I'm wearing a Holter monitor , which is an electronic device that you attach via electrodes to your chest and it records your heart activity over a 24-hour period. I think this is really cool and very handy, because you know how [...]

Thursday night in Philly promises to be a great one. The big name is Ted Leo & The Pharmacists . One of the mainstays of the East Coast punk scene, his songs are now a little more mainstream, but he still puts on one hell of a show. I saw him play at the ACL Fest in '06 and came away very impressed. Check him out at the Starlight Ballroom . Me and Mia Over at Johnny Brendas , [...]
Can you believe Christmas is only one month away? It catches me by surprise every year, even though it's hardly any secret that it's coming, you know? It's just that I can't get into any semblance of the Christmas spirit until after Thanksgiving and consequently I always feel behind the eight ball at this point. As though I should have all my shopping done already or some crazy thing like that. Yeah, right. To be honest, I haven't had much Christmas spirit for the past two Christmases. Even the most mundane tasks seemed to [...]
Ted Leo + the Pharmacists have been playing some of their new material live and we've got our hands on a live version of one of the new songs. Find the tracklist and more info on the new album here in one of my earlier posts (it's out March 20th!). It's not a particularly bad live recording, you can hear the vast majority of the song. Enjoy. Ted Leo + the Pharmacists - La Costa Brava [Live]
Ted Leo + the Pharmacists will be releasing their new album Living With The Living on March 20th on Touch & Go Records (if you remember, they switched over from Lookout! Records earlier this year).

Tracklist: [...]
I can't stand it / I can't stand it! Wilco - "I Can't Stand It": mp3 Ted Leo / Pharmacists - "Counting Down The Hours": mp3 Sorry about the unexpected day off yesterday, folks. Had to throw Alfred Lee a birthday party. I haven't seen my lady in what, 9 weeks? People who can carry on long distance relationships mystify me.
Ted Leo came to town earlier this month and pulled a nice little bait and switch on an unsuspecting all-ages crowd at the Middle East Upstairs in Cambridge. It'd been years since he'd played a space that small in this area, and I'd fortunately seen him put on some great shows in that very room before he graduated to the much larger downstairs stage. It was no surprise to some that the Sunday matinee show sold out weeks in advance, but I naively figured I had some extra time with students yet to flood back [...]
