The Pelican’s Perch

I found out about this from my dad of all people, but I found it interesting enough to pass along to you guys.  I’m sure most of you consider yourselves pretty well versed with the music of The Beatles, but have you heard each and every song from every album?  I’ll admit to missing a [...]

I have 20 minutes to write this.  Sorry for the lack of posts guys.  I’ve been super busy like usual, but I swear, no matter how little I post, there’s a handful of you that comment and stick around every day and I couldn’t thank you enough.  Here’s a few links to tide you over [...]

Sad day indeed…well, for you more than me. I was going to post a mega post full of all kinds of goodies and whatnot to keep you busy while I was gone in Chicago, but all of a sudden I’ve worked two 9-5:30pm days in a row doing crazy manual labor and being completely [...]

I read Digg every day and always want to post some stories from it, but they’re never really music related.  So today I thought what the heck and decided to post some of today’s best stories from Digg.

“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 [...]

How was everyone’s 4th?  Mine was surprisingly eventful with sparkler bombs and fireworks galore.  I had to drive back to KC for a day to go to a meeting at work, then came right back, so that was a waste of money and the main reason I wasn’t able to post until now.  I’ve got [...]

First things first: I don’t condone or encourage illegal downloading of leaked albums, but yesterday was insane for some reason with me coming across a goldmine of albums not yet released either through legit ways like my PR buddies, or by various other means. The point is not that I came across the [...]

I’m absolutely exhausted.  Two straight days working for my uncle renovating his stairs and bedroom, tearing out the drywall and gutting everything.  I’ve been standing around with a camera so far this summer, so two days of intense manual labor took everything out of me.  But, more exciting than me being tired all the time [...]

Since I feel sort of handicapped here in my hometown house, I figured I’d make myself useful and fill you in on the blogscene:
You Ain’t No Picasso

New Okkervil River (thanks originally to Pitchfork, but I’ll give Matt the credit here)
The Polyphonic Spree “Running Away” (The Fragile Army is excellent by the way)
…and “Light to Follow” [...]
