Title: Great Beginnings....
Product review: As fans of the now-defunct powerpop band Material Issue, we've all been feeling a little empty. Though MI was a showcase for the writing of Jim Ellison, listening to Ted's debut makes us wonder why he wasn't contributing material for the group's three albums on Mercury. 'Hello Miss Once Again' is a pure pop treasure that would have sounded right at home on 'Destination Universe.' Ted has a definite Buddy Holly vibe to his writing, which is most noticeable on 'Someone To Love' and 'Used To Be.' The quirky 'Space Robot' is also one of the funnest songs I've heard in years. Love your pop short and sweet? This one's for you. Here's hoping the next one is longer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
