23rd Birthday Perch Mix!

Today’s my birthday! Fun times. Finally I’m 23 so I can do all kinds of new things like….um….don’t you get to legally have a pet rhino at 23? Or is that you now can legally wear neon 90’s hats sideways in public, ’cause I’ve been doing that for years! So many new things I can do now that I’m 23 it’d be impossible to list them all here.

Sigh. I’d pout and say I’m old, but I’m 23 with a record label and cool music blog. Life’s just getting started. Here’s a huge thanks to all my great friends who have taken me out to lunch or came to my kegger or simply wished me a happy birthday. Here’s a small birthday themed Perch Mix I randomly put together for everyone to enjoy. I just searched the words “birthday”, “old”, and “23″ and these songs popped up from my music library. Still a pretty dang good mix if you ask me.

Why? - Gemini (Birthday Song)
The New Pornographers - All the Old Showstoppers
(LINK REMOVED by request of the Web Sheriff of The New Pornos. Who would’ve thought they had a web sheriff and that he enjoyed my blog. Sorry for sharing and loving your music and letting you be on my birthday mix New Pornos)
Blonde Redhead - 23
Sound Team - No More Birthdays
Yann Tiersen - Birthday Preparations (Goodbye Lenin soundtrack)
Patton Oswalt - You Are Allowed 20 Birthdays
Bright Eyes - Old Soul Song (For the New World Order)
Ryan Adams - I Taught Myself How to Grow Old
Andrew Bird - The Happy Birthday Song
Guggenheim Grotto - Cold Truth
Jimmy Eat World - 23

WITHOUT PREJUDICE

Hi PerchMusic,

On behalf of Matador Records and The New Pornographers, we would kindly ask you NOT to post newly released New Pornographers links on this site / thread.

We do appreciate that - of course - you are fans of / are promoting The New Pornographers but, by the same token, you must also appreciate that, by posting a pirate copy of the album or tracks from the album pre-release / upon release (or linking to pirate copies), you are potentially causing considerable inconvenience and we are sure that you would not want to be personally responsible (or liable) for all of the resulting damage and disruption.

Thank you for respecting the artist’s and label’s wishes and, if you want good quality, non-pirated preview tracks, “My Rights Versus Yours” and “Myriad Harbour” are being made freely available to fans off the label’s and artist’s official web-sites, (check-out http://www.matadorrecords.com and http://www.thenewpornographers.com for full details), which you are most welcome to host / post etc. Unfortunately, the tracks that you’ve selected are not designated, preview tracks and, as such, it would be greatly appreciated if you could remove them asap / substitute them with either or both of the above tracks.

Whilst writing, we’d add that The New Pornographers and Matador Records are not at all against free music BUT, at the end of the day, it should be (and is) the artist’s decision as to whether or not they effectively allow the unauthorized distribution of their album on-line before / upon its release - as it’s THEIR MUSIC !! Thank you, again, for respecting their wishes.

As you will appreciate, this e-mail - containing, as it does, a position that is potentially prejudicial to our clients’ open / formal position - is written on a without prejudice basis and, as such, all of our clients’ accumulated, worldwide rights remain strictly reserved : please excuse this required formality.

With Thanks & Regards,

WEB SHERIFF
