The Pelican’s Perch

One Fast More or I’m Gone, the collaboration soundtrack by Gibbard and Farrar for the new movie about Karouac, is pretty dang good.  So, when Michelle told me she saw the recent NPR concert and asked I I would want her to write a guest review, I answered with a definite yes.  So, without further [...]

Ben Folds’ upcoming album comes out in September I believe, and you can bet I’ll be all over that release, but in my excitement today upon receiving some new Ben Folds’ news, I looked up some youtube videos randomly and found these beauties.  Where the heck have I been and how did I miss the [...]

And in terrible audio too!  I doubt this is too much of an exclusive, since they’ve gone on a stop or two since I saw them live last Tuesday, but if you can decipher the song from the bass filled crappy audio, then you’ll have an idea of what some of the new songs from [...]

The label’s about to really take off, with the Verbs and Spacetones albums both getting close to being done. We’ll have huge CD release parties for both. We also had our big hip hop party last Saturday night that went really well. You can check out pictures here. The first half [...]

I wrote this for the LemonDrop blog and am too lazy to write a separate one for the Perch.  I did add videos you can watch though since I’ve got the video plug-in on my site that the LemonDrop one doesn’t have yet.  And as for the video Tiffany sent me and I posted, the [...]

It seems like every 10 days or so I’m apologizing for not posting enough due to me being super busy. Setting up your own record label will do that to you. So, today’s another one of those days. Head over to the LemonDrop blog and see a picture of our sweet new [...]

I’ve been a fan of Casiotone for the Painfully Alone, aka Owen Ashworth, for quite some time.  I always enjoyed his lo-fi style playing everything on his little Casiotone keyboard.  Drumbeats and all.  Then, his newest album found him expanding a little adding real drums, but keeping the Casiotone keyboard the main instrument.  For his [...]

I thought I’d posted about this concert a while ago, but realized I just posted the video of JV performing in the middle of the street, then have been talking about St. Vincent ever since.  So, here’s all the videos I took that night.  I was incredibly impressed with St. Vincent (Annie Clark), and finally [...]

My first live Menomena experience couldn’t have gone any better. We arrived during Field Music’s set, I got a 312 for my fiance and myself, and we chilled with the rest of our group while the band kept moving things along. I hate to say it, but Field Music’s performance was not very impressive. [...]

Whew boy, did I have a heck of a time fixing my blog yesterday.  Long story short, the icons to add pictures and other nifty shortcuts disappeared completely and forced Dylan and I to write posts using only html and we both know nothing about that so I had to go in, update wordpress, then [...]
