On the subway this morning as I drip-dried among the straphangers, "Hearts of Oak" by Ted Leo and the Pharmacists came on my iPod. Love that song. The lyrics stand as a great post 9-11 message from a person of my generation. I also love Ted b/c he's from NJ, is a hardcore vegan, writes a lot of good music, has strong political views and is not afraid to express them, and is an excellent live performer. I saw him at Maxwell's and was blown away. Looking forward to the new record on his new label coming out March 20th. Catch him on his current tour.
