Ted Leo and the Pharmacists?

I went back about six pages and I couldn't find a thread on them. If there is one and I missed it, please be gentle when poking me with a stick.

Does anybody else love these guys? I've been listening to them for a few years now and Living with the Living is never far from my reach. I absolutely adore Ted's writing. But, I'm starting to think some weird curse or karmic retribution is biting me in the ass, every time I plan on seeing them live, something comes up and I can't go.
