The Pelican’s Perch

So, for Valentine’s day, I bought my girlfriend a Murakami book she’d been wanting to read for quite a while, since we talked Murakami the first night we met.  She finally finished it, enjoyed it, and when she was telling me about it, I told her, you know what, you should do a review!  So, [...]

Stereogum has been premiering Death Cab’s new EP, The Open Door, track by track all week.  I’ve had a few listens to each song and have to say it’s all good stuff.  Nothing new or groundbreaking with this new EP, but I don’t really know any Death Cab fan that expects that.  We all just [...]

This movie is going to be sweet.  Can’t wait.

I’m not sure how I missed this band, but amongst the break-up of the Format, one of my favorite bands, comes a new band called Fun.  It has Nate Ruess, former singer from the Format, Andrew Dost, multi-instrumentalist from Anathallo, and Jack Antonoff, lead singer of Steel Train.  They’ve released one demo so far and [...]

Well, this is it.  The ten albums that represent the cream of the crop for my 2008.  I think it’s hilarious that it’s March and I’m finally to my top 10, but better late than never I guess.  Enjoy the final installment of my list!
