The Pelican’s Perch

I hadn’t heard much about the Mabuses before someone sent me their album and I couldn’t stop listening to it. Story has it that this is their first release in over a decade, so they’re in no way new to the scene. But they’re new to me and I’m loving their hard-to-classify tunese. [...]

I was tipped by Alex that SwedesPlease had recently pointed us towards Detektivbyran’s latest song.  So, everything I’d say was already said over at SwedesPlease’s post, so I’ll just let you go there and read it yourself, then share the main points…the song and and new video.

I’m about to leave for home, but look what my sister found.  Even his kid’s songs are damn catchy.   He performs this song live as an intro to “Fake Plaindromes”.

Well, not exactly.  But I’m traveling tomorrow and seeing “No Country For Old Men” with my dad.  Then, we’ve got the big Holiday.  So, I’m wishing everyone a happy Turkey Day now since I won’t post probably until Friday.  Enjoy the random songs I found when searching for the word Turkey.

Barry Bonds indicted for perjury and steroid abuse?!  You’re kidding!!
But seriously…it’s about time.  That’s all I care to say about this ludicrous topic.  The charges, if convicted of all, could land him in jail for 30 years.  I could care less about the jail time.  It’s his own body, let him destroy it if he [...]

It really is funny how life hands me oddly appropriate music at random exactly when I need it.  Take last night for example.  I’m exhausted after working my third straight 8 hour day, so I was in the mood for something relaxing.  The gentler moments of Godspeed, or perhaps something from Sigur Ros.  I got [...]

It seems I’m posting this post once every two weeks, but I honestly am super busy with the record label and all.  But my part time job with my uncle kicked my butt this week.  8 hours, then 9 hours, then 8 hours.  That’s been my days this week working so far.  Installing elaborate concrete [...]

I wrote this on the LemonDrop blog tonight, but I want your thoughts on this article as well so I’m going to post it here too.
