I'da called you Woody, blog.

So I just finished watching the Gaslight Anthem play "The '59 Sound" on Late Night With Conan O'Brien, and I'm actually sort of beaming. I'm so proud of them for coming essentially out of nowhere last year to becoming this massive buzz band in punk rock, and the best part is, they totally deserve all the attention and then some.

Plus, I can safely say this is the first band to ever sleep at my house and play Conan O'Brien in the same year (or ever, really).

The '59 Sound is easily one of my top 10 albums of 2008, and the title track is without a doubt one of my favorite songs of the year, too -- I play a mean air guitar to it almost every morning when I get out of the shower. It's a sight to behold. Anyway, if you still have somehow avoided hearing this band, please check out the video for that song below, and if you like it, make sure to buy the record -- hell, it's only $3.99 on Amazon MP3 this week, and I strongly encourage you to take advantage of that sweet deal.

I haven't heard the record yet, but the title track is one of the best songs I've heard all year.
