The Pelican’s Perch

You know you’re super busy when completely forget you didn’t finish your year end list. Everyone thank Michael in Ireland for getting me off my lazy behind to finally finish my list. Let’s get this puppy finished already.

Michelle just sent me this six minute short and I think it’s worth posting.  It’s a beautiful little short that was filmed in 24 hours and premiered at the Berlin Film Festival.  Although it was pretty sad, it’s still [...]

I tried to avoid it, and I’m not sure how dedicated I’ll be to it, but I gave in and am on twitter now.  I’ll give quick updates on there in between posts about music tidbits I come across, but I’ll probably end up just writing little thoughts I have in my head.  My brain [...]

Coraline
Perch Score: 9.324/10

Coraline is the brainchild of Neil Gaiman, whose children’s novel the movie is adapted from.  He’s best known for his comics and various graphic novels throughout the years, many of which have already been made into films such as Stardust, Mirromask, and Coraline.  While he wrote Coraline and had a big part in [...]

EDIT:  Sorry about that.  Guess the link didn’t take and the cover never showed up.  Should work now.
The title says it all.  Easily one of my most anticipated albums this year.  I should be receiving my promo copy in the mail by the end of the week, which is beyond exciting, but they recently revealed [...]

I can’t remember the last time I watched a live performance and couldn’t stop smiling and thinking, Heck yeah, this is incredible.  Oh wait, yeah I do.  I was the last time I saw Radiohead live in St. Louis.  I guess what I’m trying to say is Radiohead killed it at the Grammy’s playing “15 [...]

The music news just keeps pouring in.  And the best part is the majority of it is news about albums I’ve been waiting a long time to hear.  First Manchester Orchestra, now Metric.  Two bands I absolutely love.  Metric’s new album Fantasies will be released on March 2nd and sounds like it will be an [...]

How’s this for exciting new music news.  I knew Manchester Orchestra had their new album pretty much done, but news came today of the tracklist and release date for their new album, Mean Everything to Nothing, and with the news came an mp3 for their first single, “I’ve Got Friends”.  It starts off fun and [...]

So they released the lineup for this year’s Bonnaroo festival.  If tickets weren’t $225, I’d love to get out there and see all these great bands.  Maybe a Bonnaroo executive can help a certain blogger out with a ticket.  *Wink Wink*  At least they give you a payment plan option.  But either way, I know [...]
