It's barely been a month and I'm still sad.

[@rossy3486]

[@drcheesemeat]

I like the way everyone is going spa at Ben and how bad it is etc,it's a record for charity,just let it be fun which it is!

[@Kibblesmith]

OMIGOSH.

[@twistedimagev2]

OMG LET BEN SING

[@Soapking1965]

Where's SPIKE????

[@scottyyz]

Having to see Ben's face is a steep price to hear Ted sing.

[@pggyyr]

Tom could've at least used his voice modulator.

[@battlehappy]

Having to listen to Ted Leo sing is a steep price to pay for getting to look at Ben Gibbard's pretty face. Know what I mean?

[@carlybonzai]

um they should have. ben's voice is way better.

[@memnoker]

And he thinks Al Green sounds moldy? Ugh.

[@battlehappy]

Yeah, obviously this is all about personal preference, but I am seriously, seriously, seriously bored with dude rock. I can think of ten nondescript bar bands that sound exactly like Ted Leo and the Pharmacists. If that is your preference then good for you. Go to it. It's impossible to argue taste, but I've heard this sound a kerbillion times and it's about as lively as the bags on Keith Richard's face.
