these are my friends, this is who they have been for always.

last night ted leo played a benefit show at the space for a friend of a friend who passed away last month. it was really sweet, the place was packed. i've been there a load of times and don't think i've ever seen that many people there. today, i found out that they raised something like $2300 for the charity of his family's choice, i think something to do with yale. keep in mind that it was a minimum $5 donation and there were only about 200 people there, and that's a very generous bunch of connecticritters. seriously.


in other news, i finally got to listen to some harlem shakes this morning, courtesy of brian. i was sold after 3 seconds. borrowed that, no age and the fucking champs from him. will probably become obsessed with each of those records as soon as i totally wear out tokyo police club. no word on when that will be, though.


edit: ryan dynabros was right. no age is terrible. i'm gonna give the whole record an actual listen-through while i'm working tomorrow, but seriously. harlem shakes are totally fantastic, and the fucking champs are making me laugh/nerd out and wish thor axe had recorded an album already.
