Sink Or Swim
Having happily discovered that the connecting-cable-thing for my satellite radio will also work to play songs from my iPhone on my car stereo, I was thoroughly excited. Let's from now on refer to it as the connector-cable of joy.
So what have I been rocking on my way to work every morning since this blissful discovery? Yep, the Gaslight Anthem's pre-'59 Sound disc, Sink Or Swim. It's perfect for chilly fall drives through downtown when you can't take the I-90 inner belt because there's a very real possibility that one extra car could make it collapse quicker than our economy. But listening to Sink Or Swim makes you not care about the bridge beneath you collapsing, nay, it makes you want to dance in the moonlight in 1930 with faith and a switchblade tucked beneath your coat (all phrases borrowed from Sink Or Swim songs on that one).
All of this makes me increasingly disappointed that I missed the Gaslight Anthem when they were in town a few weeks ago. Even the connector-cable of joy is powerless to fix that.
(P.S. What I just overheard in the hallway: "What? You don't want to make out with some boney, pasty-ass British guy?" (I think it was British, maybe Scottish. I'm a bad eavesdropper) But see, it's like you're here...)

I'm assuming Jason said that about the Brit?
In all honesty, I'm just upset that entire tour wouldn't come to PA on a weekend. being In College in the middle of the state (and about 3 hours from both Philly and Pittsburgh) It was impossible for me to see like 4 of my favorite bands.
I am even more pissed that MCR had to cancel their PSU date for their Black Parade tour with Muse because some bucketmonkey decided to serve them old mayonnaise. Needless to say if I find the dude who did that, he will be severely damaged.
Great record! Glad to see someone else in the office besides me listening to Gaslight. :)
I adore Gaslight. I listen to it going into school/work. However, being that my cruise control is broken depending on how emotionally charged the song is I am going from 55 to 80 at any given time. If you ever find yourself on I70 in southeastern OH early in the morning watch yourself.
