The Pelican’s Perch

Well, the school year is almost over and unfortunately my ties with the school, and more importantly it’s radio station, are all but over. It was a fun little run and something I honestly just wanted to test out. Having a radio show and all. Maybe I’ll get hired at our local [...]

I’ve got the whole graduation thing to deal with this week, but I’ll work on getting a show this summer still.  It’ll require I get a building pass and stuff like that, but hopefully I can.  If not, then possibly I’ll podcast or something.  The whole radio thing, the same as the newspaper thing, was [...]

EDIT:  This was my 100th post since The Pelican’s Perch version 2.0 started in January and I did a dumb funny links post.  Oh well.  I also passed the 20,000 hits mark today.  You guys realize that in three years at my xanga, I had a little over 40,000 hits and have already reached half [...]

Time to be completely unoriginal, but a little birdie in my comment box pointed me towards a new streaming Bishop Allen song called “Rain”, so here’s a big thanks to Sara for the heads up.  I’m sure you’re all aware of my love for Bishop Allen, so obviously I’m going to post the link [...]

The Hourly Radio sort of came out of nowhere lately. Their sound usually isn’t exactly my cup of tea. The downstroke heavy guitar, and straight-forward bass, drums, lead guitar accompaniment. But the more I listened to songs like “Crime Does Pay”, “Deaf Ears”, and even the slower numbers like “First Love [...]

Fields - Everything Last Winter
I liked Fields so much I featured them twice during my radio show. The first song I enjoyed and was more upbeat, but it was really the second song I played, “Parasite”, that made this album for me. Fields are Nick Peill (vocals/guitars), Matty Derham (bass), Thorunn Antonia (vocals/keyboards), [...]

Easily my best show yet. The host after me quit his show, so I just did a two hour show instead. It was full of great music, screw ups left and right, and good conversations with people online. The best part had to be when I started talking in the middle of the Page France [...]

Radio show tonight! Still recovering from Cinco de Drinko, but I should have a nifty playlist compiled by tonight. Click the link below and listen away. The kid who does the show after me decided to quit, so my hour may turn into a couple hours depending on what mood I’m in. We’ll see. But [...]
