Is it really Mr. Leo's birthday? Well, I'll be.
Congratulations on reaching year whatever, son. May the next be as good or better.

I wanted to get you a Miata full of money for your birthday, but all I could find was this money with a Miata on it:

My Spanish skills have gone a little soft recently, but I think it says "Happy Birthday Ted, From Taco Bell"
BONUS BIRTHDAY COMIC!

Happy birthday, Ted! Remember, “The people recognize themselves in their commodities; they find their soul in their automobile, hi-fi set, split-level home, kitchen equipment.”
Here's hoping you get some great new commodities!

Happy birthday TL! You are pretty much the best.
I googled "Happy Birthday Ted Leo" and this showed up on the first page of results. I am thinking it's a good omen for the next year. Lots of dancing! Tuxedo-wearing! Awesome hair!

I wish you all those things and more.

To say that Ted Leo was dismayed by the violence at the Republican National Convention in Minneapolis-St. Paul, Minnesota, would be an understatement. So he decided to take his anger and do something about it. As he writes, "The surveillance, pre-emptive detention, arrest, and beating of journalists, protesters, and watchdogs by the St. Paul police department, the Ramsey County sheriff's department, and the FBI was so egregious that it couldn't be allowed to pass without comment."
The ever-outspoken punk rocker gathered his Pharmacists and hit the studio to lay down the two original songs and two covers that comprise the Rapid Response EP, available right this very instant for digital download from Touch and Go.
In the liner notes for the EP, Leo explains, "Real people were hurt in St. Paul, and real people have bills to pay, and real people need funding to continue their good works. We (the band and I) were all feeling these events as deeply as we could from our 1200 mile remove, and so as not to feel entirely powerless, and in an attempt to contribute SOMETHING to that continuation of those good works, we wrote a song and recorded it, along with another new one we'd already been working on that's pertinent to election time politics, and two covers we enjoy and that also have timely sentiments." Those covers are of crust punk bands Amebix and Cock Sparrer."
All proceeds from the EP will go to Democracy Now! and the Minneapolis chapter of Food Not Bombs. It's available exclusively through Touch and Go at the moment, but will make its way to other online retailers after two weeks. Touch and Go is offering a sliding scale of payment for the EP, based on how much you'd like to donate to the cause.

Hey TL,
One of the guys from the Hold Steady called you out as an "excellent guitarist" and an exception to the rule that punk doesn't feature shredding guitar leads. I heard that on a recent Sound of Young America.
So congrats for the well-deserved attention! And happy birthday.

You mean I get to listen to these awesome songs AND help Amy Goodman and the gang? What a guy. Thanks for bringing attention to this.

I could not be more late to this party. I have purchased the 7" in every color to atone. Hope it was a good one, TL.
