[irthesteve]

I used to know how but I forgot. The Ted nerds over at www.timorousme.org probably could assist though.

[YourFaceIsFunny]

It's at times like these when I really, really hate having dial-up.

[aminorthreat55]

Finally, the mentioning of Ted.

[aminorthreat55]

Haha finally something worth saying, all that MySpace shit.

[bigmike]

TED LEO OWNED HIM THAT TIME THOUGH

[mat1419]

haha...leo had a good one too...round 2 was closer

still leo obviously, but the kelly clarkson line was good

[The Silencer]

haha ted raps for so much longer than steinberg, and still rips him apart.

[bigmike]

nice kelly clarkson line.

ted leo took that round, but barely.

[Kiss Of Octopus]

ohhhh shit!

[aminorthreat55]

Leo > Steinberg

[aminorthreat55]

nice kelly clarkson line.

ted leo took that round, but barely.
Yeah.

[mat1419]

[BrandNewBen]

I'm pretty sure Ted Leo should put out a rap album

[The Silencer]

I'm pretty sure Ted Leo should put out a rap album

[Manbotisdead]

Alan Rupp (former staff, formerly user venus/bacchus) just moved to Laurel and the 3 of us should definitely drink beers sometime.

[mat1419]

[aminorthreat55]

You should. He's easily one of the best songwriters of our generation.

[bigmike]

i've never given ted leo much of a chance... but i really think i will now

Bruce.
that's my thought, but i've had bruce in my life for 21 years and leo for like 4 months

[aminorthreat55]

I would love to hear this full band style.

[aminorthreat55]

now: ted leo

easy solution.

old boss rocks. but he hasent done anything amazing lately in my eyes.
Bingo.

And the Boss had a better band than Ted.

[tinston]

well, no matter how long you've had either in your life, you'd still have to choose bruce i believe.

[aminorthreat55]

Man all this beer/Jager is making me wanna pee like WHOA!

That was great. Someone find a rip of it.

[punkrockcasual]

[fire on my lips]

[Manbotisdead]

Steinberg sounds like jason from home movies.

[aminorthreat55]

wow, this thread closed in on the Panic! thread. interesting.
Ted > Panic!

[aminorthreat55]

Finally Ted gets the number of replies he deserves.

[bigmike]

Ted > Panic!

that goes without saying, i thought.

and it is nice to see him get alot of replies and such.

[aminorthreat55]

that goes without saying, i thought.

and it is nice to see him get alot of replies and such.
Well, it does for the intelligent; for the musically shallow on the other hand, I think we know how to works.

And if not; catchy = good.

[nizzlefoshizzle]

anyone record that??

[bigmike]

Well, it does for the intelligent; for the musically shallow on the other hand, I think we know how to works.

And if not; catchy = good.

good point. everyone should go an see him on http://www.ugo.com/channels/music/ugoplayers/default.asp.

he played an acoustic set there that's pretty good. the clincher is the "Since U Been Gone" cover where on the bridge he segues into "Maps" from the Yeah Yeah Yeahs and goes right back into the clarkson cover. it's fucking excellent.

[aminorthreat55]

Yeah I've got that. I have almost everything he's done since Chisel broke up. Some random live clips as well. The only thing I don't have is all of the Tej Leo cd that he put out on Gern Blandsten.

[bigmike]

Yeah I've got that. I have almost everything he's done since Chisel broke up. Some random live clips as well. The only thing I don't have is all of the Tej Leo cd that he put out on Gern Blandsten.

What's not working about it? It's a .rar file so you'll need winrar (http://www.download.com/3000-2250-10007677.html) to uncompress it.

Yeah I have that but the download page never even shows up. It just sits there blank like its loading for 25 minutes.

[aminorthreat55]

And for some weird reason it decided to actually work this time. Weird.

[aminorthreat55]

Hahaha the Marky Ramone stuff was priceless.

[Crocodile Logic]

I like the way these are cut much better, because the non-Ted stuff was lame.

[bleedindreamlnd]

WHAT!? MC Steinberg is awesome! I think I may have a new favorite rapper. You have to admit that "You're career's running out and so is your hair" was some rough stuff. And Marky Ramone was just creepy, but in a good way. And Ted's rhymes were just as good as some of his songs.
