Ted Leo

*UPDATE* I received a very kind and heartfelt apology from the producer I’d been working with at Radiolab, and I wanted to acknowledge that publicly and let you all know that there are very few hard feelings. For all intents and purposes, we (meaning all of us, including you, you crazy diamond) should consider this episode as the proverbial WATER UNDER THE BRIDGE!
A producer at Radiolab emailed me asking if I’d contribute two songs dealing with “color” in some way, for a show they were doing on the theme. I spent some time learning and recording the songs I chose and sent them along. I was told they sounded “great,” and then never heard anything else about it. The show aired this past week with many songs from other musicians, but without mine, which I only realized by listening to the show, as I am generally a fan, and listen often. Fan or not, though, I thought this was kind of shabby. So, there – I’ve gotten my annoyed rant out of my system, and, if you’re interested, you can hear my take on Donovan’s “Wear Your Love Like Heaven,” one of the songs I submitted, here instead. And now updated to include my take on Tom Jones’ take on Calude “Curly” Putman Jr.’s “Green Green Grass of Home”!!
