Just the other day I was thinking to myself, "Anyone can write a Christmas song. When is someone going to honor Mother's Day with a song?" And just like a song from local faves Middle Distance Runner, recorded especially for Mother's Day, magically appeared. And it has rapping!

MDR was assisted by the following on this track:
Jason "Raw Poetic" Moore (hip hop stylings, of Panacea and RPM)
Tony "Tailbone" Acampora (bass, of Greenland)
Aaron "The Bronx Bull" Gause (trumpet, of Panacea and RPM)
Sadly I have a ton of Artomatic running around to do tonight (more on that later - the Artomatic part, not the running around part), but if I didn't, I sure as hell would make my way over to Iota (not THE Iota, lest you incur the wrath of Jason) to take in These United States and the Federal Reserve Collective. tUS recently finished up a tour in which they played 30+ gigs with a different set of musicians playing as their backing band each night. Pretty cool.
Over the weekend I listened to their recent Lounge Act on WOXY and it is the goodness. Highly recommended.

Damn you Britt Daniel. Here I am trying to move on with my musical life and go about listening to someone, anyone other than your band and you go and release a single/E.P. for "Don't You Evah" and I go and get the damn song stuck in my head. For days. Mostly because Ted Leo's "I Want It Hotter Remix" totally lives up to its name. I downloaded it a few weeks ago from here but I just got around to listening to it on Thursday. Big mistake. Been humming the melody ever since.

Also, in my travels to find that remix again (had it on the work computer, but not the home one) I came across this Triple J radio broadcast from Australia. You're welcome.

The Don't You Evah single is out now and if you live on the West Coast you have a few chances to see the band in the coming months. Ted Leo, of course, is opening for Pearl Jam this summer.
