The Pelican’s Perch

I’m moving!  So, the Perch may be quiet for a few days while I get my stuff moved out of my current house, and in to my new house.  I’m not sure of the internet situation there, but I’ll figure it out asap.  Until then, enjoy my ridiculously good Indiana Jones review and don’t get [...]

Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull
Perch Score: 6.340
I could tear this movie a new one if I really wanted to, but c’mon, we all knew what we were getting into as we stood in the line of nerds waiting for the doors to open finally and our Indiana Jones adventure [...]

Weezer lost me a long time ago. I’d pinpoint it to around the time Matt Sharp left the band. But my love for them way back in the day still carries over even now and has led to me at least checking out every new album they come out with, even if they’re [...]

Now this video is just plain impressive. I hadn’t stopped by Shots Ring Out in a while, so in my hasty browsing to catch up with their archives, I found this little beauty. It’s animation in the form of graffiti. I don’t even want to think of how long it took them [...]

Radiohead was fantastic. First time I’ve caught them live and they’ve been one of my favorite bands forever. Didn’t know if it’d live up to my insanely high expectations, but I walked out of there feeling very pleased with the show. All the guys in Radiohead joked around quite a bit in [...]

Insanely good luck has befallen me this week and I’m going to see Radiohead tonight all of a sudden.  My friend came across four tickets to the St. Louis show tonight and asked if my roommate and I wanted to go.  Um….hell yes we do.  And we only have to pay $15 for them.  I [...]

Alright, this weekend, and the beginning of this week so far, has found me digging up all sorts of great music because of a little thing called Finals week. Not for me, since I graduated last year, but everyone and anyone I hang out with are buried in the books. So, I’ve been [...]

And in terrible audio too!  I doubt this is too much of an exclusive, since they’ve gone on a stop or two since I saw them live last Tuesday, but if you can decipher the song from the bass filled crappy audio, then you’ll have an idea of what some of the new songs from [...]

New Animal Collective video for “Water Curses” from their new EP of the same name. Haven’t had a chance to listen to the EP yet, but this song is pretty poppy and fun compared to most stuff AC have written. Short post before bed, but I figured a few of you would be [...]

After hearing “Bixby Canyon Bridge” for the first time, quite possibly the best opening song of ‘08, it’s hard not to just throw up your arms then and claim victory. Death Cab have done it! All the hype and talk that while this one was different than their others, it may be their [...]
