30 Day Song Challenge: Day nineteen - a song from your favorite album.

Challenges like this are particularly tough. You see, the artists from my top ranking favorite albums are all pretty much represented throughout this list. And, seriously, you really can't repeat. (Or, can you?) So, in an effort to keep things fresh, I present to you a track from one of my favorite albums; which, oddly enough, is - like its predecessors - a rock opera:

Ludo is an alternative rock band, born in a high schooler's car, sitting in a super market parking lot, somewhere in Ladue, Missouri. Wild and imaginative, the band's music crosses many different levels of geekdom, absurdity, and down right fun. Here, "Save Our City" is the middle bridge of the EP rock opera Broken Bride; the tale of a scientist bouncing through time, trying desperately to get back to 1989 to save his wife's life. Even though the premise may sound familiar, the execution is done with care, craft, and a twist ending.

Recently, Ludo's label, Redbird. (Yes, a tie in with Peter Mulvey!) became an Island Records imprint, with Ludo signing a recording deal; their third full length release Prepare the Preparations out now, in record stores.
