i thought 'the tyranny of distance' was a much better album...i dunno...maybe it was just fresh to my ears. did you see him when he toured for that album (2001)?

i think "tyranny of distance" was an excellent album too. i can't say i've heard anything of ted's that i didn't like. "shake the sheets" has taken a while longer to grow on me and is more overtly political than his previous works, but i guess its message felt right at the time. i didn't catch the 2001 tour but i've seen him a few other times since. still, when i mention ted leo to most people i just get a blank stare and "ted who?"
if i could recommend one band that has changed the way i listen to/write music within the last 4 years, it's lifter puller (rip). there are a few mp3s on insound and epitonic. the lyrics read like stories, complete w/ settings, scenes, characters and scripts. the music rocks in a familiar yet altered way.
here's a passage from an essay that john darnielle (aka the mountain goats) wrote about them. (by the way, the mountain goats/john vanderslice show was voted by me as the best show of 2004):
it’s not like I didn’t tell you at the outset that it was nearly impossible to explain what makes Lifter Puller so magnificent. It’s more than “They write the most teeth-grindingly realistic drug songs ever,†though there is that. It’s more important than “They do the indie-rock scripted rave-up trick better than anybody,†though there’s that, too. I think it’s this: that even in their first moves, as on this imperfect first album, they were committed to painting complex scenes with simple, chime-rhyming strokes. I’d tell you more, but what can I say? They are my favorite band and I can’t for the life of me imagine why the entire civilized world hasn’t rallied around them and proclaimed them the saviors of rock that they really were. Not the Strokes, though they’re O.K. Not the New Pornographers, though they’re great at times. Not the Jicks, though God bless ‘em. Lifter Puller. Damn it, you guys. Lifter Puller.
what about coheed and cambria? i think they are incredible, claudio's lyrics are excellent, and the music is freaking amazing. if you havent heard of them, go check em out. malkmus is right up there too, good call weave, i've had pig lib on heavy play since i got it when it was released. and ted leo, he is at the top too, st john the divine is a great song
check out a girl named joanna newsom too. her voice is a bit unusual, but if you are into folk and the like, she is a great pick up...

Supermarket:
Earth Crisis hasn't put out anything decent since "destroy the machines" (IMHO) and that was forever ago... what album are you listening to?
meversusyou:
Coheed is good. Can't wait for the third album to come out. Haven't gotten around to buying the comicbook yet. I've seen them live two or three times - twice on tour for Second Stage Turbine Blade and once for Secrets of Silent Earth. Amazing live, hard to believe the Claudio smokes like a chimney.
Any my picks as of late:
Fairweather
Silent Drive
Pinback
Murder City Devils (thank god I got to see them on their last tour)
Iron Maiden
Hot Snakes
Copeland
Shelter
cant get enough of ted leo and the pharmacist's 'the tyranny of distance'
and supergrass' 'supergrass'
out of the 400 or so albums on my ipod these albums keep making their way into heavy rotation.
