Buying first mike... suggestions?

I'm a teenage musician, and I write a lot of songs and occaisionally play small gigs around town. I do some home recording, but I don't have a mike so I usually just record electric stuff through my amp and mix it on audacity or something. Anyway, I want to buy a good quality microphone for recording acoustic stuff and vocals. I don't want a really cheap one, but I obviously don't need anything redicilously expensive. The thing is, I have no idea what to look for. Any suggestions on brand names, or types of microphone that might be good for me?
