Listen to Wilco’s new album

Wilco’s new album, simply titled Wilco (the album), is now streaming at their website.  I’m a big Wilco fan, so it goes without saying I’ve enjoyed the few listens I’ve had so far.  But it’ll take a few more listens before I can make any final opinions about the new album.  [...]

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 [...]

At 5pm (Central Time).  It’ll be officially up and running.  Be there.  Let me know what you think.

Oh, let the obsession begin. I was literally listening to The Deadly Syndrome’s album The Ortolan non-stop on their virb site where it is streaming. Luckily, the kind people over at The Orchard sent a copy of it my way so I could listen to it in my car, at work, on my [...]

So two days ago I went to a free kegger that also doubled as an indie dance party. After seeing Springfield favorites Someone Still Loves You Boris Yeltsin (whose new songs were amazing by the way), we headed over to this so-called dance party which I knew no one and was curious to see [...]

Thanks to B.J. for the heads up on SPIN posting a new Rogue Wave track. It’s growing on me I have to say. Didn’t do much for me at first, but Rogue Wave’s also one of my favorite bands so I always have super high expectations. And it’s kind of fitting I [...]

“You have worked 12 hours and 5 minutes” says my cell phone as I logged out today. 
Whew boy what a day.  I think I set the record or came very close to setting the record for games shot in a single day.  Today I did six, but one of them was two “onesies”, meaning you [...]

I was checking my last.fm profile for the first time in a good three months when I saw this absolute beauty in the featured songs section at the bottom.  Um…you bet I’ll check that out.  My Name is a Blackbird is a solo dance performance choreographed by Molly Shanahan and the music was created by [...]

My favorite new album? We’ll have to see about that, but it sure is one of the better ones I’ve heard in quite a while. It’s really crazy how randomly I find some music. Earlier this morning I had no intentions of looking for new music, but an email about Dappled Cities [...]

I really enjoy Voxtrot’s debut self-titled LP, as I figured I would after hearing their EP’s before this, and this documentary just proved why everyone should buy the album on May 22nd…they’re just really likeable guys out to make good music.  I did find it funny that nearly all the members of the band had [...]
