The Pelican’s Perch

There’s no denying this is old news, as this single was on the Twilight soundtrack, but being the good, loyal Mute Math fan I am, I completely missed that they had a new EP that came out in March.  I’m mainly posting this because I enjoy the song and am a huge fan of the [...]

A recent documentary entitled Playing for Change: Peace through Music, brings together musicians from all parts of the world to recreate a few classic songs.  Showing that music truly is the universal language.  Seeing this video makes me want to see the documentary like crazy, but until I see it, these videos will do just [...]

I’m off this weekend to Arkansas for our yearly family float trip.  I didn’t want to leave that Beyonce post up all weekend, so here’s a Thermals’ song I’ve been diggin lately.  See you Monday.

This is by no means a gossip site, but I came across this and thought it was hilarious and quite predictable.  Some cheeky board operator took the recorded vocals from Beyonce on the Today Show and leaked them onto the net.   I guess they play the album vocals into the crowd, and they never hear [...]

Mad props to new friend of the Perch, Kip, from the blog Digging for Days, for stopping by and indirectly introducing me to Miniature Tigers through his blog.  Tell it to the Volcano is perfect summer music.  Laid back, super poppy, love songs.  I’d say the best comparison would be to Someone Still Loves You [...]

I’ll let you see the video.  Words can’t possibly serve it justice.  They send a rocket sled going at 650 mph head on into a car and, well, the car just disappears.  I sat with my jaw dropped for a couple minutes after first seeing the slow mo.  Very cool stuff and hopefully the video [...]

It’s been a loooong time since I did a Perch Mix.  Not sure why exactly, as the Perch Mixes are my favorite part of writing this blog.  But I had some time on my hands today, so here’s a brand new Perch Mix for everyone.  Enjoy!

I’ve always been a big fan of Ashworth’s music under Casiotone for the Painfully Alone.  It’s been interesting seeing the evolution of his music from simple bedroom recordings of him with a 4-track and his keyboard, to full band, fully produced albums.  His newest album, Vs. Children, is released today and I’m excited for everyone [...]

Sigur Ros – Við spilum endalaust – A Take Away Show from La Blogotheque on Vimeo.
I was just surfing some of my regular music blog reads today when I came across the Holy Grail as far as La Blogotheque is concerned.  They finally got Sigur Ros to play a take-away show and I couldn’t be [...]

At the moment, it stands at NC-17.  This trailer is hilarious and this new one could eclipse Borat.  I can only imagine what crazy things he has done for this movie.  There’s a lot of people in this country who hate gay people, and you know he’s going to go straight into their homes to [...]
