New Ted Leo Earworm

I've only heard three cuts from the forthcoming album, but each is better than the last! You must check out the title track: Ted Leo - "Shake The Sheets" courtesy of The Big Ticket. The chorus sounds remarkably like Joe Jackson.

the new record kicks all kinds of ass. def way better than Oak. i think i still prefer Tyranny, but not by much. the production on Sheets is pretty slick too.

I think the biggest improvement over Hearts of Oak is that the songs are more in the three minute range. I thought Hearts had a lot of good songs that didn't know when to quit.

Maybe it's because I'm canadian but does anyone else think of the tragically hip track "50 Mission Cup" ? You know the one about hockey?

There's not a bad track on the entire album, and there at at least five that all compete with being the best of the bunch. It's a seriously great CD that I can't wait to buy when it's officially released even though i've already heard it all.

Also, I don't think I'm going to be able to get to the CMJ show now, but I was psyched to learn that he'll be playing at Bowery on 12/11 with Matt Pond PA. I've already bought my tix!

I loved Tyranny but never bothered with Hearts of Oak. This song is fucking good though. I will definitely buy this CD.

This happens to be a successful case of downloading spurring record sales.

Damn, that is a great song. I hear a Joe Jackson sound too, which is a good thing.

I'm new here. I found your site via a search about Air's Deck Safari promos. Very nice blog you've got here.

Regarding the post, I heard of Ted Leo's band about a month ago and looked on my usenet access and found an album, so I got it to check it out and then I came to find that it was the "Shake the Streets" album which had not been released yet... not for months.

Awesome album! I will definetly be buying this when it comes out.

Leo's made the same album three times and it's getting really boring.
