The Pelican’s Perch

I wrote this today for the LemonDrop blog and figured it fits here just as well and might interest my readers as well.
I worked 56 hours from last Sunday until Thursday.  You can imagine how tired I was by the time Friday rolled around and I couldn’t exactly roll myself out of bed, but today [...]

A Band of Bees, known simply as The Bees in the UK are a collective that dig deep into rock’s past for their influences.  Buffalo Springfield, The Beatles, Bob Marley, etc.  I’ve been a big fan of The Bees since their stellar album Sunshine Hit Me was given to me by a friend way back [...]

I was looking through Metacritic’s upcoming release calendar and saw a band called the Aliens with (Beta Band) next to it. I wouldn’t have given them a second look had that parenthesis not been next to it, but am I ever glad I went and gave them a listen. It seems like two [...]

How was everyone’s 4th?  Mine was surprisingly eventful with sparkler bombs and fireworks galore.  I had to drive back to KC for a day to go to a meeting at work, then came right back, so that was a waste of money and the main reason I wasn’t able to post until now.  I’ve got [...]

First things first: I don’t condone or encourage illegal downloading of leaked albums, but yesterday was insane for some reason with me coming across a goldmine of albums not yet released either through legit ways like my PR buddies, or by various other means. The point is not that I came across the [...]
