New Song! “Message in a Bottle”


Another day, another song. I don’t know why the songs are coming so easily all of a sudden for me. This one is a fun one I wrote after watching the end of Message in a Bottle upon waking up from my nap, and while the ending to that is terribly depressing, I still liked [...]

The Perch Mix CDs Vol. 1 – Orchestra


First off, check out that photoshop job! You wouldn’t even be able to tell it wasn’t real if not for my spotty clone stamp job around the wings. Oh, and the fact that there’s a 30 foot pelican conducting from behind the orchestra. But hey, that’s the extent of my photoshop skillz.
Anyway. [...]

New song! – “Mr. Optimistic”


can see why heartbreak is the root of some of our best songs ever. I get just a taste of it and songs come flowing out. This song resulted from a recent conversation that was capped off with an “I love you, but I’m not in love with you”, and my reaction was exactly what [...]

Merry Christmas from the Perch!


Merry Christmas!  Hope everyone got those limited edition Power Rangers underwear you all asked for.  I’m more of a Spider-man fan myself when it comes to the undies.  Here’s more funny Christmas stuff if you’re in the mood.  Hope the holiday is great and I’ll see you back here very soon with my top 50 of [...]

The Kite Runner


The Kite Runner
Dir. by Marc Forster
Score: 8/10
I watched this movie last night on a whim, which is what I tend to do a lot over Christmas break, but not since Once have I felt like sharing a movie with you guys.  The Kite Runner moved along swiftly the first 3/4ths of the movie with not [...]

Maia Hirasawa – Though, I’m Just Me


While sifting through my 2007 library of albums for my aunt’s Christmas present mixes, I came across Maia’s wonderful album Though, I’m Just Me, which I’d listened to obsessively over the summer and then kind of forgot about until now. Music is strange like that, but I’m right back into my pop-filled Maia obsession [...]

Once out on DVD today!


I don’t have a lot of time to post this since I have a job interview and all…woot!  But there’s really only one thing to be said today.  Once comes out on dvd today.  Easily my favorite film of the year, probably of the last 5 or so years honestly.  If you haven’t seen it, [...]

New Song – “Heart”


Love sucks sometimes. Definitely one of my most personal songs to date. I’m sure most of you can relate to something in this song. Hope you like it. I sure do.

I Need Your Help!


I drew my aunt’s name for Christmas this year and since one, I’m poor, and two, I hate just buying crap and giving it to people, I’ve come up with the following gift idea for her. First of all, she loves her two dogs more than anything, so I’m having my sister paint a [...]
