And it sounds like he's trying to raise some funds for a proper studio effort toward a new album.
Considering that Shake the Sheets is *still* one of the most perfect political albums ever made... and we could use his voice more than ever...
Yes, please, take my money ASAP.
2 track album
Second album for the day, probably the most explicitly political album I'll listen to today:
Ted Leo, Shake the Sheets

I'll probably mostly reach for more downtempo, more abstract/reflective stuff today... that or straight up fun escapism.
But Leo captured a certain moment so well with this album, and I've kept coming back to it especially over the last decade, when politics and political engagement can seem so discouraging and ineffective.
