So, I went to Ted Leo tonight and it was an interesting experience. I'm sure that some of the things I might say in the following paragraph could be interpreted as criticism but it's actually not, it was a pretty good show overall. However, this show ended up reminding me and in a way beginning to experience something I have oft thought about. Sometimes I wonder how it felt to see the Clash, or a better example in this case The Jam, in one setting and then the next time you see them have it be like an entirely different show and feel. The last time I saw Ted Leo and the Pharmacists was in Cleaveland and it, like all of my previous TL+Rx experiences was a tightly packed, dirty, sweaty rock and roll experience. But tonight, Ted Leo moved up, and good for him, if anybody deserves it, it's that guy. But now he had a bigger stage, a bigger crowd, and, most shocking, lighting that bordered on a Pink Floyd LaZer Dome show. We're talking lights that made shaped and spun on stage! WHAAAAAA?!?! It's cool though, Theodore hadn't changed, he still provided maximum face blasting rock and oh so delightfully witty stage banter. He's the only man i will never shout "LESS TALK MORE ROCK!!!!" too....not like I've ever actually done that anyways, though. The sound was great, but it definately felt more professional, and very very clean, which was no fault of Mr. Leo, he played his jiggin' heart out. In fact all of them did, Chris Wilson, as tradition dictates, destroyed his kit and Dave Lerner played bass superly and continued to not sing into the mic in front of him.

TED LEO 2K5 LAzAH LIGHT SHOW 4-EVA!!!!!!!!!!!

No music today...just me telling you I had odd fun. If this was a reeeeeal whiney emo blog I could delve into some annoying, albeit hilarious, issues. But I'll spare you, go listen to Tyranny Of Distance.
