Do you know what I am?

gifparty summarizes everything there is to know about Gossip Girl

Riiiiiiiiiight here.

Well, almost everything. One thing remains mysterious: why didn't my DVR record it last night, hmm?

The Generationalists

This band appears to have zero presence on the internet, which is a mystery to me, because they kinda rule. I was turned onto them and their fantastic album Con Law by Brant. Their song "When They Fight They Fight" is my official favorite song of the moment. I may not be able to point you towards a youtube or a mysapce or a hypem, but I know for a fact that the album is available on iTunes, and you should go give it a listen and probably buy it right away.

UPDATE: I should not blog/google before having coffee. I couldn't find them because their name is The Generationals. Here's the video for my favorite song:




In other music news, I saw one of the hands down best shows I've seen in ages on Monday night. Golden Triangle were sheer punk fun, with a mostly female lineup that kicked the Black Cat backstage's ass. Thee Oh Sees just completely floored everyone in attendance. I could not have loved their set more. Fuzzed out distortion mics and dirty garage rock with a sense of harmony and tight instrumentation that's usually foreign to that kind of rock. God, I loved this show so, so much.

I sort of hate my camera

It's a Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W80. How do you feel about yours? A friend I went camping with this weekend had a Canon Elf (this one maybe?) that took great photos and seemed to have all the things mine is lacking (zoom that makes pictures actually appear closer, rather than farther than your naked eye, good low-light capabilities, being able to take a photo without flash that isn't hella blurry, etc.). I am in the market. I don't need anything professional -- just a good quality digital point and shoot. Most of my photos are taken of: food, my cat, night time activities like concerts and parties and when things are on fire. Give me suggestions, please.
