Aimee Mann is one of my favorite song writers. Ted Leo has a catalog of great records. But the both of them have been spinning the wheels a bit . . . on their last few albums, the songs have started sounding like all their other music, and there hasn't been much to bring me back.
I never would have put these two artists together. It's like suddenly finding out your favorite genius writer was an avid fan of the radio talk show from your hometown that you listen to on podcast all the time, long before you ever listened to it (true story).
Somehow, Ted Leo + Aimee Mann works pretty well. Like peanut butter & bananas, avocado and havarti, or bacon and anything.
It's the nucleus burning inside of the cell. It's a song about the fonzie statue in Milwaukee.
