The Pelican’s Perch

I’ve been a fan of Nicole Atkins for quite a while now, having talked a few times about her last album when she toured as Nicole Atkins and the Sea, so you can imagine the curiosity and excitement I felt upon receiving her latest album Neptune City. If you turned her last album up [...]

In my impatience to hear new music from Owen Pallett, I began searching for info on his upcoming album Heartland. What I basically found everywhere was that it’s probably going to be a fall ‘08 release, mainly because he keeps getting collaboration gigs like writing strings for Beirut’s amazing The Flying Club Cup and [...]

Doing a complete 180 here compared to Jumpel, I bring you Siberian. Now, I seem to be way behind when it comes to raving about their debut album With Me, but I was recently sent their promo after chatting with the band on myspace and was excited as ever to hear the whole thing [...]

So, that little Jumpel post got me linked four times, which is crazy, but I’ll take it.  Another big thanks to Jumpel and his label Hidden Shoal Recordings for helping me out.  This is just a mini-post, but I had to post it while you guys were still in the Jumpel mood.  The video for [...]

Akron/Family have always tended to remain in the background as a band, most recently as Angels of Light’s backing band. But it was always their half of the split EP they did with Angels of Light that I enjoyed most. Everyone in the band basically sings everything and it just seems like they’re [...]

Instead of showcasing our bands again, we wanted to do something more fun. Since we’ve got two DJ’s doing their own stuff for our label, The Spacetones being our flagship hip-hop band, and have been in talks with Jimmy Spits to have him MC for us for quite some time, we figured a hip-hop [...]

So my allergies are acting up and I’m sneezing every five seconds. It really is quite annoying, but me not going out tonight has some upside. Like the fact that I stumbled upon this funny picture site where people just upload funny pictures they’ve taken. Here are some of my favorites (click [...]
