Since You've Gone Crazy

Ted Leo & the Pharmacists has had a cover of Kelly Clarkson's "Since You've Been Gone" which has made blogger circles. Now Ted Leo's cover has finally made it onto Howard Stern's radio show which may mean it is no longer indie (but I doubt it).

I'm not sure if this was an April Fools Day joke or not because it certainly seems plausible.
