The Pelican’s Perch

Ben Folds’ upcoming album comes out in September I believe, and you can bet I’ll be all over that release, but in my excitement today upon receiving some new Ben Folds’ news, I looked up some youtube videos randomly and found these beauties.  Where the heck have I been and how did I miss the [...]

Keating’s new album Quixotic happened to be one of a handful of promos I took to work yesterday randomly with the intention of listening to all of them straight from front to back all day.  I honestly should do that more, because I truly get to hear the whole album since it just plays in [...]

I receive so many emails a day from promo companies, that I’m often forced to delete a ton after a while without ever having listened to the artist the email was about.  It’s a shame, but sometimes I honestly just have to get rid of all the emails and take the whole “can’t be sad [...]

Ah, where to begin with this fantastic movie.  Wall-E, Pixar’s latest masterpiece, left me completely in awe and smiling ear to ear as I left the theatre.  As most of you know, Wall-E follows a robot of the same name, who has fulfilled his trash compacting duties on Earth for the 700 years since humans [...]

If you liked Langhorne Slim, you’ll most likely enjoy Bombadil as well.  I got their new album A Buzz, A Buzz in the mail earlier this week and from the first couple songs I immediately thought, these guys sound just like Langhorne Slim, I bet I’ll really like this album.  And what do you know, [...]

I’m back!  I didn’t realize how much I truly enjoyed writing this blog until I was without it for a good two weeks.  But fear not, a whole bunch of trial and error on my part led to the site getting even more screwed up, then eventually I figured it all out and got it [...]
