Cover art for The Ballad Of The Sin Eater lyrics by Ted Leo and the Pharmacists

I saw Ted in Seattle last sunday (2/13). When he performed Sin Eater, he set down his guitar and just had his microphone and went crazy. My friend and I were front row, center, and he threw himself down on our bags that we had on the stage. I held his hand and my friend tossled his sweaty hair. He got back up and started banging his microphone against his head, drawing blood. There is a picture here: http://www.jflats.com/~paigebre/images/bre%201090.jpg (He used the giant acorn on another song.) Oh, and he shoved the microphone in my face during the "you didn't think they could hate you now, did you?" part. And he dedicated Me and Mia to me. Sorry, this has nothing to do with the topic. But GAH! Ted, you have no idea.
