MP3 Download: Ted Leo & The Pharmacists’ Newest – “Even Heroes Have to Die”
Tuesday, December 8th, 2009
By far, the best Ted Leo quote ever (relayed to me by Colin Payne) is, “I consider myself a perpetual English major, but I also get into bar fights.”
Judging by the newest track off of Leo’s upcoming, and just named album, The Brutalist Bricks, this remains true. Sure, it’s not as rock as some of his other stuff, but I can imagine myself breaking a bottle to it and I’m sure there will be plenty of electricity on The Brutalist Bricks. After all, the lead single “Even Heroes Have to Die” does have the word “die” in the title, and that’s pretty hardcore, so – in summation – yes, we can rumble to this track.
You can download the track, “
If you’re not familiar with Ted Leo – A) What’s wrong with you? B) Go buy The Tyranny of Distance (NOW!!!). Listen to “Under Your Hedge” and call me a liar. I dare you.
Finally, in honor of Jayvee, we have some special Ted Leo-Kelly Clarkson love, with a little bit of Karen O for good measure. Here’s Ted covering “Since You’ve Been Gone,” all together now… JUMP!!!
