Timorous me.
I came across a Ted Leo and the Pharmacists Fan site[fan community rather] Timorous Me, which has a amateur quicktime video of the song Timorous Me (what were you expecting) shot last December in the basement of a Unitarian church in Philadelphia.
The Rx are coming to Washington in a couple of weeks, 23 June
at the 930 club. The temptation to go to this show is tremendous, I
haven't gone to a show in years and years now. A related aside; I
recall reading in an interview with David Gedge, of the band the
Wedding Present, that they were asking for non-smoking shows on their
current tour, and many clubs were accommodating this. That's a lovely
idea.
iTunes has a Ted Leo exclusive up; called the Sharkbite
sessions. I especially liked the version of Stiff Little Fingers'
Suspect Device. First record I bought after I got to college was
the live Stiff Little Fingers record. Which I appear to no longer have.
I wonder where that got to?
Radio was treating me nicely last Friday, not like WFMU's cruel Weather Underground (discussed previously). I came back from work humming a Radio Birdman song ('Aloha Steve and Dano',
their modified Hawaii 5-0 cover and tribute) When I settled in back at
my desk the DJ played Radio Birdman. Not the same song - they played 'New Race' but hey how often do you hear Radio Birdman on the radio.
