The Pelican’s Perch

Look!  It’s a turkey Pelican!  I want one of those in my front yard.  Today is Thanksgiving my friends, and I figured I’d pay my many thanks to all of you guys before I headed off to stuff my face, watch football, sleep, and I’m sure I’ll go out and shop or see a movie [...]

I found Emiliana while walking home from class a couple years ago.  My solemn, cold walk home was interrupted when I noticed something shining on the sidewalk ahead.  Are those cd’s, I asked myself.  Sure enough they were.  Pedro the Lion’s Achilles Heel, and Emiliana Torrini’s album The Fisherman’s Woman.  For an indie music freak [...]

First off, let me begin by saying that I am absolutely obsessed with The Sixty One.  If you haven’t heard of it, it’s basically like Digg, except for music.  You get points for listening to people’s music around the site, then you can spend the points to “bump” the songs you like.  The more a [...]

I guess yesterday was Domino Day.  How I missed that is beyond me.  I’m usually on top of Domino Day.  But yeah, the point of Domino Day is to break a world record, and they did just that toppling 4.3 million dominoes in a way too over the top fashion.  Some people just have [...]

Apparently now that the election is over, the news outlets can now report things they’d learned about Sarah Palin which they were previously prevented from reporting by the McCain campaign, as well as other bigwigs in power.  I like John Stewart’s quote towards the end when he asks, so when this Iraq war is over, I [...]

Good friend to the Perch and one time co-Perch writer, Dylan, told me not five minutes ago that he’d recently listened to Andrew Bird’s new album streamed from a super secret location.  Forget the fact that for some reason the Perch wasn’t invited in on this secret action (I’ll hear it soon enough I guess), [...]

I’m all kinds of excited for today to finally arrived.  I feel pretty confident about who is going to win, considering I went to an Obama rally last weekend and 40,000 people showed up.  In Springfield, MO.  As in the middle of the bible belt Springfield.  Bush won here overwhelmingly the last two elections, and [...]
