The Pelican’s Perch

I’m not one to complain too much about things, but I’m honestly sick of school. I’ve as of late realized kind of what I want to do with my life the next year or so and really want to go after it with a full head of steam, but at the moment I have two freakin group projects, research papers, and a handfull more pointless things I have to do instead that it’s really gotten under my skin. My songwriting’s geting to the point that I’m writing pretty good songs every couple weeks and I’m excited to have time this summer to record my album with Charlie and Kristofor, but I can’t work on that yet obviously, plus the three of us are going to try starting our own record label this summer so there’s a lot of sh*t that needs to be done and school is just getting in the way of that right now. I can’t wait to graduate in May and get my life started. I’ll update you more on our record label ideas later, but for now, here’s a mix of the better songs from all the emails I recieve from labels and bands since I promised to talk more about it on Monday and never really did.

1. Goldrush - Heaven’s My Destination
   
2. Seawolf - You’re a Wolf
   
3. Kristoffer Ragnstam - Breakfast by the Mattress
   
4. Battles - Atlas
   
5. Chrisopher Blue - Ghost in the Night
   
6. Loch Lomond - Tic
   
7. Haley Bonar - Captain Captain
   
8. Fields - If You Fail, We All Fail
   
9. Kate Havnevik - Unlike Me
