When it comes to Postal Service covers, it's Stereogum's duty to keep you posted even if the artist in question has been on In Search Of The Partridge Family and Love Monkey.
You can listen to Teddy Geiger's "Brand New Colony" here.

I loved it!! it is awesome!! I am as BIG FAN of Teddy Geiger. I think all of his music is great. I think he is a GREAT MUSICIAN and I am not just saying that just because i like him and i think he is cute. One idea is for him to come to Marietta, Ohio. tht is't that far from Cleveland or Columbus. He can play on a Friday Night because they always have music every Friday. I hope you come and I will see you there if you do. there will be alot of people there and i think you could show people your music that has never heard it before. I hope you take my idea becuse you will get lots more fans and i mad eyou something so i want to give it to you and it will give you good luck that i think it will give me if you come. hen my wish will be granted. my dad is disabled and he had to quit his job. I know thast i am only 13 and i would be very happy and it will make my dad really happy because i am. i havent been happy for a while and when i had a bad day i just go onto the computer and go on your website and just stay on there for 5 hours atleast. i am not exaggerating. i hipe you come. you are my favorite and that i my only wish. please come. you will love it and i hope i get to meet you and ge a picture with you. please, please i am begging you to come. thats the only thing in the world i want and us being friends. i hope you put it in interest and I will see you then. please if you do please i really want to meet you. i never do anything exciting before. please if you do before you leave then please i want to meet you. email me and i will email you back. just please think about it.

I love Teddy Geiger and this is the best cover ever, he is a wonderful, charming, brilliant young man who knows how to keep his room neat and tidy. He is a vocal genius with talents far beyond anyone's comprehension.

I know alot about you and if you ask me then I probly know the answer soooo...... If you want to meet me then come to Marietta, Ohio and find Marietta Middle School. There is a dance there and I want to save you a dance so I will be waiting. Just as friends. Go up to the dj and ask if you can use microphone. call out my name . 7:30-10:00. I will wait for you. That was a great magician by the way. Doing those funky card tricks. I love you (as a friend I guess) Bye

I do not know y u people r putting Teddy's work down. I think that he is a great artist. And I am not saying that because he is a sweet heart or because he is good looking. But because he is just something we all want to be. And those people who can't be thankfull for what he has done then you people don't even deserve to be as respected as you are now. My name is Kristen Holland and if you have a problem with this message then tell me on myspace.

My band did a cover of The Postal Service's "Nothing Better."
www.myspace.com/radiationpuppy
We gave a copy of it to Ben Gibbard in May, but - alas - I never heard anything from him.
Score = 0
I really like it, it's a nice cover that gives a more mellow romantic approach to The Postal Services original, Teddy's vocals are no match for Ben's amazing one, but no matter, BRILLIANT!
