The Pelican’s Perch

I recently found a copy of the Spider Man 3 soundtrack in my mail box at home and forgot why in the world I would have requested that. One look at the tracklist reminded me; Rogue Wave had a new song on it. I popped it into my computer and it froze my computer. That’s [...]

Where the heck have I been?  Well, Spring Break is officially over and my teachers made sure we knew it.  We had a lot of catching up to do they all said, then started laying on the homework, projects, and everything in between.  I’ll get around to posting tomorrow I swear, but I’ve had all [...]

EDIT: Reformatted the pictures so they don’t take all day to load or bog down the blog. You can still click on them to see full size versions.
Good thing I’ve got Dylan to back me up now during my gaps in posting. I’ve been uploading my videos like crazy and now that they’re finally up, [...]

Video: Wet and Rusting

The new video for Menomena’s Wet and Rusting is a must-see. Their creativity makes one glad to be alive. I’ll be at the Sold Out show next week at the Empty Bottle, and I haven’t seen them before, so I’m really pumped for it. I’ll let everyone know how it goes, and [...]

If anything, tonight will be the happiest music of the bunch.  Most of the bands are pure, acoustic driven pop, with Page France being the highlight for me.  Tomorrow’s the last day of the festival, so all of you waiting for me to stop talking about it will finally get your wish Thursday.  I’ll do [...]

This was a tough one to narrow down because I’ve basically decided that electronic indie rock is one of my favorite genres.  Needless to say, I pretty much really enjoy each and every band in the electronic category at SXSW, but here’s some stand-outs. 
The Bermuda Triangle - It Feels Good

Champion - No Heaven

Errors - Mr. Milk

Shout Out, Out, [...]

I can’t guarantee I’ll be at SXSW this year, but if plans go well I’ll end up going with camera in hand documenting every show we see.  That being said, I figured I’d check out some of the bands I didn’t know from the insanely long list of bands playing this year.  Here’s some that [...]

Malajube are a fun little French band I came across the other day that I wanted to post about from the first song I heard of theirs, but quickly realized I had no idea how I would go about doing it.  These guys are all over the place.  Some songs sound like Phoenix, some like [...]

I was planning on waiting until February when this album becomes available on their website to talk about it, but I just couldn’t do it.  This is THE best album of the year, and most likely will be the best of the year for me depending on how great Andrew Bird’s album is.  I love [...]

(recommended listening while reading this post - Rademacher’s “Ice Age” - streamable mp3 at bottom of post)
You may be wondering where I’ve been these past few days.  Well, if any of you caught CNN or any of the news channels lately, you probably saw Missouri getting hit hard by ice storm after ice storm.  What [...]
