Ted Leo New Song MP3
During the concert tonight, Ted shocked the crowd by busting out an all-new song, written just that morning.
Knowing that Ted has been rather bootleg friendly (he instructed all of us to trade the Since U Been Gone cover all we wanted, but they wouldn't play it live), I immediately stuck up my camera and recorded the whole thing. Rather than have my bandwidth get further thrashed with a 90 meg MPEG, I've ripped it to MP3, leaving us with a much smaller footprint.
The quality is okay but not great. My camera only does 64kbps audio, so the MP3 is at 128 if only to avoid losing more quality during the transcode. There is a fair amount of crowd noise at the beginning/middle/end. There's some extra audio at the end from the next song, since there wasn't a clean break. I haven't balanced it or equalized it or anything like that. It's a bootleg - one recorded on a digital camera - so don't expect CD quality.
With all that said, enjoy.

(To those worried about the legality of this MP3, I have cleared this with Ted.)
Append: mligon points out a potential song title of "Sons Of Cain", which jives at least partially with the set list.
Append 2nd: Those of you dying for the video can find it here, thanks to the lovely people at TimorousMe.org.

excellent work! i love the yelling at the end.
Great work recording the song! —sounds great. We have the bandwidth to host the media file, if you want to send it my way. We’d love to see the whole thing.
Awesome! Where were you standing in the crowd by the way? I think I might be one of the guys yelling, but I can’t be sure.
Tom - I was standing dead center, on top of the plastic guard for the cables running from soundboard to stage, about 5-10 feet back from the rail. If you look at my flickr set, you can probably get a good idea of where I was.
Thank you so, so much for this. I’ve just made this song an MP3 of the Week over at Punknews.org (and given you complete credit); hopefully, your bandwidth doesn’t get raped too much!
Thanks Dan, I was gonna head down to the show but got of work late. Nice to get a taste.
I linked to your post as well. And I noticed that the people over at Timorous Me, http://www.timorousme.org say they’d love to see the video(and I’m assuming would be willing to host the file, if you’d be so gracious). Please and thank you.
Hey, I was wondering if you could send me the video for the song over AIM or something of the sort?
I have website and bandwidth to blow it on and I would be more than happy to host it for you.
…either way I have to thank you for this as it’s one of the last great things of summer before I go back for my final semester in college ever today!
Thanks!
oops! — aim: kirbypuckett
I would love to have a copy of the video too! If it isn’t too much trouble, could you send it to me? I can do it through AIM (Mr Pink Bullets) or email (arthurhsing@gmail.com) or however else you’d like. Please send me an email and let me know!
Thanks!
