The Pelican’s Perch

The first thing most of you may think when you hear New Buffalo, aka Sally Seltmann, is how much she sounds like Feist.  Well, to beat you to the punch, I thought the same thing and found out she co-wrote “1, 2, 3, 4″ with Feist, so it only makes sense her album Somewhere, Anywhere [...]

First thing’s first. Um…new Wes Andersen movie anyone??? The Darjeeling Limited comes out tomorrow. Need I say more? I have no idea why it doesn’t come out on a Friday like most normal movies. (EDIT:  Tears…so tomorrow is limited release in NYC.  Oct. 5th is the official release date it seems.  [...]

Stressed out?  Seabear is here to help.
I had the intentions all along of writing a post on Seabear today after reading YANP’s post yesterday, then Puddlegum’s even more indepth post, but their album The Ghost That Carried Us Away has struck me even more now that I’ve come home from work exhausted and threw the [...]

I read Digg every day and always want to post some stories from it, but they’re never really music related.  So today I thought what the heck and decided to post some of today’s best stories from Digg.

So, thanks a lot to everyone who commented on the site today and people that called me. I have the strange tendency to get over things I’m really mad about like three hours afterwards, so by the time all the comments started coming in and people were calling me to cheer me up, I [...]

On days like today, all you can really do is put up a picture of a sad puppy and quote Daniel Powter’s “Bad Day”.  Man, it’s not even 2pm and my day has been terrible.  It started off with me being hung over from Tyler’s birthday celebration and waking up from a bad dream at [...]

2. White Rabbits - Fort Nightly

This one probably came out of left field for most of you since I’ve never talked about White Rabbits, but they’ve held a solid place in my musical heart since I got their album about a month ago.  It’s such a smart mix of driving bass, bouncy drums, guitar and [...]

You probably expected bad news in this post with a title like this, but I was just sad I couldn’t post the last part of my week long list until tomorrow.  I really thought I’d get it all in, but I guess not.  Why?  Well, today was a ridiculously good day for LemonDrop progress, as [...]

So, great comments and feedback so far regarding the list. Always makes blogging easier when you hear directly from your readers. Sounds like Field Music and Animal Collective have been hit or miss, with Reid even preferring Panda Bear’s solo effort Person Pitch over AC’s latest. Person Pitch is a wonderful album, [...]

6. Animal Collective - Strawberry Jam

A couple weeks ago, this album would have been one of the top two albums on this list. But as things work usually for me, I slightly burned myself out on this album. That’s only to say I really like it instead of am obsessing over it. [...]
