106: Ted Leo and the Pharmacists - Hearts of Oak (2003)

For over twenty years, Ted Leo has been one of the most intelligent and consistent songwriters of the indie rock world. In this episode, Dan, Rich, and guest rude-boy James Boo discuss the 2003 album Hearts of Oak, which showcases Leo’s talent for crafting thoughtful, politically-charged lyrics and channeling them into immediately catchy anthems. Whether it’s navigating the confusing climate of a post-9/11 America or simply ruminating on the power of ska, Ted serves it up in a poignant, ear-catching package. <br /><br />Cohosts: Dan Watkins, Rich Bunnell, James Boo<br /><br />Complete show notes: <a href="https://discordpod.com/listen/106-ted-leo-and-the-pharmacists-hearts-of-oak-2003" rel="noopener">https://discordpod.com/listen/106-ted-leo-and-the-pharmacists-hearts-of-oak-2003</a><br /><br />Support the podcast! <a href="https://www.patreon.com/discordpod" rel="noopener">https://www.patreon.com/discordpod</a>
