The Pelican’s Perch

This was sent to me by a friend and I felt like sharing.  For all you guitarists out there like me, doesn’t this make you feel a bit insignificant?  Amazing stuff and even more amazing considering he’s blind.

I was only vaguely familiar with the National when all the good reviews started popping up about their newest release Boxer. Like any good blogger, I decided to check into what all the praise was about and I was pleasantly surprised. Boxer is a chill, laid-back affair that only gets better and better [...]

Sorry for not posting a lot lately. Detektivbyran sure was a success and I’ve been getting more comments lately than ever before, so that’s always a good thing. Thanks again to B.J. for the recommendation. Yesterday was full of all sorts of errands and stuff, but now I’m back to doing nothing [...]

B.J. recommended this band to me after he heard my last Perch Mix, which featured some Yann Tiersen tunes from the Amelie soundtrack.  Little did he know, his recommendation would make my weekend.  The band he suggested, Detektivbyran, sound a lot like Yann Tiersen’s music and after some searching I got a hold of their [...]

From this…

…to this

It took me forever to find the season finale, but after watching it again I remembered why I had been so persistent trying to find it. The picture above may mean nothing to you if you haven’t seen it, but you know why I posted it if you have seen it. [...]

This is a new feature I’m going to start here not because I’m lazy and don’t want to make new Perch Mixes, but because a lot of the Perch Mixes from the xanga days are still absolutely excellent mixes of songs well worth sharing again. Most of my Perch Radio playlist were compiled mainly [...]

The Descent
Score: 8/10
I honestly can not remember the last time a movie truly scared me. I’m not trying to be macho here or anything, but movies usually just don’t scare me beyond the occasional scene that makes you jump. Movies like 28 Weeks Later were good, but nothing really scared you about the [...]

My favorite new album? We’ll have to see about that, but it sure is one of the better ones I’ve heard in quite a while. It’s really crazy how randomly I find some music. Earlier this morning I had no intentions of looking for new music, but an email about Dappled Cities [...]

I didn’t have time to watch all 10 minutes of this, but once I started watching, I literally couldn’t stop.  Can you guess which movie quote makes #11.  You’ll be kicking yourself for not remembering once you get there.  Neat stuff and it must have taken forever to compile.
Don’t forget about the interview questions for [...]

It’s my hope that this is only the first of many community efforts from the Pelican’s Perch , but I recently received an email from the people that initially told me about the movie Once and its soundtrack saying if I wanted to, I could send an email interview to Glen Hansard, lead actor from [...]
