The Pelican’s Perch

Greenberg is the new film from Noah Baumbach (Squid and the Whale), starring Ben Stiller as a down on his luck forty-something guy looking to start over and reconnect with friends.  Of course, this being a Baumbach film, his luck doesn’t improve much on his journey and he gets humiliated time and time again.  The [...]

MGMT – Flash Delirium

Not sure what to think of this new offering from MGMT.  I don’t want to join the masses out there saying they’re trying to fit too many influences and styles into one song, but they’re definitely not wrong.  I’m used to dancing away to most songs on their last album, and this [...]

I’m back!  Where have I been you may ask?  I’ll answer that in the next post, which I’ll write immediately after this.  Sorry to everyone for being so dang distant and non-existant lately, but worry not my faithful readers, the Perch is back in action!  Here’s one of my favorite new bands, with their new [...]
