The Pelican’s Perch

I’ll make a halloween Perch Mix if I have time today, but for now, I’ll let you admire my costume for this Halloween and enjoy some Ryan Adams.

Not too long ago, I mentioned to Justin that I had been listening to the new Margot and the Nuclear So and So’s double album, since he had booked them at Randy Bacon’s twice to that point and we both were big fans.  Instead of getting the usual “how is it?” response, he immediately said [...]

In my boredom tonight, I randomly came across a new Andrew Bird song from his upcoming album Noble Beast, which is going to be released January 2009 on Fat Possum.  It’s called “Oh No” and it’s pretty good.  And since I know the majority of you are Andrew Bird fans, I just had to share [...]

Phillip and Will from Someone Still Loves You Boris Yeltsin were recently in Austria and the great live video blog “They Shoot Music Don’t They” got them to sit and play a few songs.  Most of you know of my love for SSLYBY, as they’re from right here in Springfield where I live and I [...]

My roommate and I were on the floor practically crying last night after watching this.  Sure, I felt bad, but the girl posted the video herself, so I imagine she was laughing at herself too.  I’d skip to the 2 minute mark and watch from there.

It took two tries and was a long time coming, but my interview with Detektivbyran, my current favorite instrumental band, is finally here.  I sent the questions, both your questions and mine, to the band right as they embarked on their tour for Wermland, and Anders was kind enough to sit down and answer the [...]

Last night’s Family Guy was hilarious.  It was mainly Peter becoming obsessed with the old 60’s song “Surfin Bird” by the Trashmen, which is annoying as can be, and then he meets Jesus and tries to help him reveal himself to the world.  I’d never heard that song before, but even though Peter sings it [...]

I mentioned that Ben Folds would be on Conan last night, and here’s the video!  Whoo!  Figured most of you would enjoy watching it.  Watch the music video for the song too.  It was directed by Tim and Eric from Adult Swim’s Tim and Eric Awesome Show and is really weird, and pretty funny.

Here’s a nice little heads up for you.  Ben Folds is going to be singing is first single, “You Don’t Know Me”, with special guest Regina Spektor tonight on Conan.  I don’t know about you, but I plan on watching that.  Should be good stuff.
Sorry I’ve been gone for awhile as far as posting goes.  [...]
