Ted Leo, socially conscious musician. Indie-rock god.
After playing an amazing solo set of 26 songs, featuring a variety of covers, rehashed solos and improvised rhythm sections, Ted Leo and the crowd gathered at the cozy Graham Memorial Building began their fireside chat. He was supposed to talk about social commentary. I just remember that his favorite songs are “Bleeding Powers” and “Little Dawn.” Still, it made me think.

Call me a romantic, but sometimes things just come together. And it’s amazing.
I’ve found that once you make plans to watch a movie with friends, it’s hard to get any work done as you wait for the agreed-upon start time of the movie. Last night, around 8:30, we decided to watch Jean-Luc Godard’s Breathless at 10pm.
Remembering a Godard-inspired youtube clip, I put on Nouvelle Vague and started Stumbling.
Just as Mélanie Pain’s beautiful cover of “I Melt With You” came on, I found what I didn’t know I was looking for.
And then we watched Breathless. I’ve never wanted to speak French more. I could write about it, but you should just go see it…after looking through Le Love and listening to Nouvelle Vague.
Courtesy of vulture, I found out today that Kanye West believes he is the Michael Jordan of this generation.
“I realize that my place and position in history is that I will go down as the voice of this generation, of this decade, I will be the loudest voice,” he said in an interview on Wednesday. “It’s me settling into that position of just really accepting that it’s one thing to say you want to do it and it’s another thing to really end up being like Michael Jordan.”
Wake up Mr. West, how many times did Michael Jordan assault the paparazzi? Less than two, right? Not a very clutch performance today Yeezy. Meanwhile, Kanye’s competition for “voice of our generation” (at least in terms of other rappers using the autotune) just released a new mixtape today with beats from T.I.’s “Whatever You Like” and Outkast’s “The Art of Storytelling, Pt.4.” Check out Lil Wayne’s Dedication 3.
