A few days ago, I noted that Ted Leo had, in a long rambling post, announced that he’s worked on a musical film project of some sort.  To make a long story as short as possible, Ted’s post was a head fake.  What Ted has done is produce an extremely funny music video which parodies “half-assed musicals which cheapen [the] music and embarrass everyone involved” (perhaps this one).  See Ted’s video (which includes a prominent Park Sloper) here at Now I’ve Heard Everything.

I got an email from singer-songwriter Amy Speace earlier this week and she’s selling a pretty special guitar (a Taylor GS Western Red Cedar/Indian Rosewood with Taylor’s Expression II pickup system installed).  Maybe you’re interested; if so the details are here.  If not, you can see the video of John Hiatt’s Perfectly Good Guitar here.
