Touché

I don't actually have any witty asides here to mention, only that with our new formatting the font I selected is trebuchet, which if pronounced with a french accent and has the "reb" cut out, is said the same as my title. That is all, just an observation I came to make.

I haven't had much feedback from our readers, but seeing as this is a blog, I feel your punishment should be constructed in writing in some way. how else are we to know that you actually did it? And personally, I would love to see you review some trash... I'm going to give you an open ended choice. Find the worst book you ever read, and review it as if it were fantastic. Heavy sarcasm is helpful, no doubt. So hopefully you know what I mean and you'll get on that sometime in the future.

Now that Sasha has revealed her not-so-covert love of one Republic, maybe I should match it with some musical tastes of my own? And who better to choose than All Caps, a band I am very fond of. It's composed of two member, Kristina and Luke, whose respective youtube pages can be found here and here. Now isn't that some talented linking? I think so. They have one album out, Songs in the Key of Email, and they are currently working on their second record which is to be released any day now! BminE, yet another clever reference. I think I'll leave this one for Sasha if she can figure it out. Make no mistake, I am very much excited for this new release.

But you may have noticed, I didn't really say what music genre they play. That's difficult to say: if I tried my best, it would probably be nerd-electric-dance-wizard-techno-rock. Which is to say, they write dance-y electronica songs about some notably nerdtastic subjects. Eg: epic zombie love ballads, an ode to snow days, Voldemort Fangirl (don't wanna be a death eater) and Do You Like Me, the memorable story of a prepubescent girl passing notes in algebra class. Clearly, this type of stuff really appeals to me. If you're interested in buying their albums, or any other youtube musicians really, I suggest you check out the DFTBA Records site. They have albums and EPs from the likes of charlieissocoollike, nerimon, hexachordal and other youtubers.

Now, on to some less interesting subject matter. I have to go quantify physics equations into significant digits. Oh the joy.

Addendum: if you aren't into the youtube community, I apologize for the content of this post.
