I was at a late showing of Up in the Air last night (loved it) and checked Twitter really quickly during a transitional scene. Surprise, surprise, that was the exact moment that Ted Leo announced that he would be posting some covers he’d recorded on a lark that evening.

MP3: Ted Leo – Speak Now (Terry Reid)
MP3: Ted Leo – So it Goes (Nick Lowe)

And if you haven’t read Ted Leo’s defense of Conan O’Brien, it’s worth a read.
