Dexter – S.3.Ep.1 – “Our Father”
I’d say Dexter is pretty easily one of my favorite shows on tv.  It may even get the top spot.  If you’re a fan already, you’ve probably followed both seasons so far and know exactly what I’m saying.  If you haven’t had the chance to see it, or thought it [...]

Grand Archive’s self-titled Sub Pop offering was released February of this year.  I literally had it sitting in my 2008 folder that long without even coming close to listening to it.  You’d be surprised just how many albums from this year I have sitting unlistened like this one.  I always say I’ll get to them, [...]

Annuals – Confessor (Subterranean Link)

“The treatment for the video was written by Annuals’ own Zach Oden and then brought to life by Terry Gilliam’s special effects designer, Daniel Auber.  It is not only gorgeous and fantastical, but it also features drawing-versions of the actual band.  You know, if they were traveling woods-guides and prison torturers [...]

Here’s a little something new for you coming out of the Ben Folds camp.  I’m sure most of you savvy cats out there have already heard this, but for those of you that haven’t yet, I suggest you take a listen asap.  It’s Ben Folds doing his usual thing, and biased ‘ol me is loving [...]

Burn After Reading
Directed by the Coen Brothers
Perch Score: 8.672

I went with a few friends of mine late last night to catch the Coen Brother’s new flick Burn After Reading and loved it.  I’d read plenty of reviews going into it, all saying one of two things.  One, that it was fun, way over the top, [...]

I doubt this is much of an exclusive, but I always enjoy having Perch Exclusive in my post title to build excitement.  I received in my inbox today a much anticipated email from Sony Epic, Margot’s new label, giving me a peek at the new album and confirming that my copy is in the mail [...]

If I can find it each week, then I’ll post the latest episodes from each week’s It’s Always Sunny.  If you haven’t seen it, the show is mainly improv style feeling like Seinfeld on crack.  Usually no plot and always good for a lot of laughs.  Here’s the first two episodes of the new season.
S.4, [...]

Has anyone been watching the Ryder Cup?  I’m a golfer myself, so I can watch it on tv fine without feeling the need to call it the most boring sport in the world.  But, today’s matches were as intense as golf gets in my opinion.  There were more “USA!” chants during today’s matches than there [...]

Ah, I love it.  I got a simple, unassuming email today with the header, “An Open Letter to Pitchfork from Airborne Toxic Event”.  I smiled immediately knowing exactly what the email would contain; another ridiculously harsch review and a very well thought out, subtlely sarcastic response back from the band.  SOUND Team went the more [...]

Crazy, crazy times lately over on my end.  Sorry for the lack of posts, but I ended up traveling to Kansas City for work from last Friday until this past Tuesday.  And while there I hung out with my family, saw the most God awful Chiefs game imaginable (getting drunk by 10am because of tailgating [...]
