The Pelican’s Perch

I thought I’d posted about this concert a while ago, but realized I just posted the video of JV performing in the middle of the street, then have been talking about St. Vincent ever since.  So, here’s all the videos I took that night.  I was incredibly impressed with St. Vincent (Annie Clark), and finally [...]

Since I feel sort of handicapped here in my hometown house, I figured I’d make myself useful and fill you in on the blogscene:
You Ain’t No Picasso

New Okkervil River (thanks originally to Pitchfork, but I’ll give Matt the credit here)
The Polyphonic Spree “Running Away” (The Fragile Army is excellent by the way)
…and “Light to Follow” [...]

Most of you are moving back home or something similar now that summer’s starting, so I doubt you’ve stopped by the site much lately. If you have though, I’ve been trying to post at least a little bit each day during this whole graduating from college busy time, but here’s a fair warning that [...]

Spider-man 3
Score: 5/10
I’m not a comic fan. So, comic fans don’t come at me with the whole “well, you just don’t know the whole back story” defense to what I’m about to write. Sure, I don’t know the history of Venom, but I do know that he wasn’t in the comic book series for a [...]

28 Weeks Later
Score: 7/10
28 Days Later is one of my favorite scary movies. I bought it the day it came out on dvd, and recommended it to all my friends when they asked what a good scary movie was. So, it makes since that I went into this movie slightly mad that it [...]

I really enjoy Voxtrot’s debut self-titled LP, as I figured I would after hearing their EP’s before this, and this documentary just proved why everyone should buy the album on May 22nd…they’re just really likeable guys out to make good music.  I did find it funny that nearly all the members of the band had [...]

The History Boys
Score: 8/10
I’m not familiar with the play, so I can’t tell you if it truly conquered the world and was worthy of winning the most Tony’s in 20 years, but I did enjoy the movie quite a bit. For some reason, the fact that the boys were all incredibly smart and their conversations [...]

No seriously. I just filled out the last bubble on my last scantron test ever (which ironically the answer was C), and I’m officially done with school. It’s hard to believe I’ve been at this place for four whole years, but it’s all over now. Now it’s on to the real world. [...]

Wow! If you post it, they will come I guess. 1,034 hits yesterday for the new Spoon songs. That’s a record by a long shot. Hopefully a few of those new people read some of the other posts and decides to come back. Anyway, as most of you know by [...]

Damn you finals! I found out about Spoon’s first single, at least I think it might be, leaking last night at about 2am and didn’t have time to post about it. Then, I had finals all day today so I’m only now getting around to it. Between last night and now, something [...]
