The Pelican’s Perch

This weekend was one of those weekends that come out of nowhere after a solid month of finding no good music, and three days later I’m listening to five solid albums. I have to meet with someone tonight for LemonDrop, then I’ve got a wealth of stuff to do after that, but come back [...]

Do you like The New Pornographers? How about Mates of State? Yes you say. Well, Georgie James is for you then. Georgie James is the band former Q and Not U drummer John Davis started after working out a few songs with singer/songwriter friend Laura Burhenn after they realized their common [...]

It’s two in the morning and I really like this song. The end.

Listening to Apollo Sunshine today at work on full blast while alone cleaning up the shop I came to the realization that Apollo Sunshine, one of my favorite pop bands ever, are criminally underrated. If you’ve seen them live, then you’re already a fan, because I’ve yet to meet anyone who has seen them [...]

Haze
by Kevin Ehlers aka Honest Artist
Haze [mp3]

I’ve been thinking about how to think about you less these days
Maybe hit the road running and clear my mind of this haze
I’ve been down from the sound that’s drowning me out these days
I think I’ve found my crutch, it’s you,
I’ve to let you know.
I think I’ve found my [...]

So, I totally dropped the ball on this one.  I had no idea they posted their first single on their myspace, but I guess better late than never.  It’s something like 8 minutes long with the singing not starting until four minutes into the song.  This is a nice little twist to their normal song [...]

So, Springfield’s pretty much flooded. It has rained non-stop since probably 8pm last night. The tiny creek next to my uncle’s shop is now a raging river and driving around town, since Springfield’s drainage system is terrible, is near impossible and a lot of intersections you just have to take backroads around. [...]

Dylan has been a long time virtual friend that I met a while back through the blog and we’ve since had numerous great conversations about all the indie albums that have come and gone, being labeled as our “current favorite”.  That label has now been passed on to Why? and their amazing new album Alopecia.  [...]

I’m a workin’ man.  I’ll be out of town for work until Wednesday.  Just giving you a heads up.
Some LemonDrop news for ya:
March 21st - Jimmy Spits‘ new album Leaps and Bounds is released

April 29th - The Verbs‘ debut self-titled album is released (date of their cd release show at least)

And if you’re confused by [...]

Speechless. That’s right, I said it. Speechless. Cloud Cult, who I thought were at the top of their game with their last release, The Meaning of 8, have somehow followed it up with an even better album. And I personally didn’t think that was possible.
…rest after the jump.
