Ted Leo & the Pharmacists

Saturday, May 31, 2003

I returned the experimental Japanese two-piece jazz CD that I bought on Wednesday and picked up Ted Leo & the Pharmcists‘ latest album - Hearts of Oak.
My path to Ted Leo goes like this -
1. I know Danny Leo from Providence, RI., probably around 1991 or 1992. In 1994 or so I sold […]

boyracer, seefeel

Friday, May 16, 2003
