The Pelican’s Perch

For those of you that may have not been paying attention this last year, I have a record label I started with my friend Charlie called LemonDrop Records.  We’re oh so close to having the online store finished and up and running, then things will really take off.  But for now, we’re pumping out our [...]

I missed Stereogum’s exclusive mp3 from Wolf Parade’s newest album last week. It’s definitely an interesting direction for the band, who recorded long improvisational sessions in the Arcade Fire owned cathedral after scrapping five or so new songs since they sounded too much like Apologies. After a few listens to “Call It [...]

I just got done listening to Phantom Planet’s new album “Raise the Dead”, which is on Fueled by Rahmen and is out next Tuesday.  “Dropped” is great, as is most the album and I can see this album growing into a definite keeper throughout the year.  Where their previous self-titled album found them not quite [...]

So, I totally dropped the ball on this one.  I had no idea they posted their first single on their myspace, but I guess better late than never.  It’s something like 8 minutes long with the singing not starting until four minutes into the song.  This is a nice little twist to their normal song [...]

Dylan has been a long time virtual friend that I met a while back through the blog and we’ve since had numerous great conversations about all the indie albums that have come and gone, being labeled as our “current favorite”.  That label has now been passed on to Why? and their amazing new album Alopecia.  [...]

Randomly saw that they added a song to their myspace. Must have added it today. Not as good as the last song I posted, but still dang good. Can’t wait for the new album.
Everybody Here is a Cloud

I was browing through the Hype Machine yesterday seeing what was “popular” and I randomly came across a post over at Side One: Track One, a blog I love by the way, and those sly devils in Cloud Cult are a few months away from releasing another album. Where the heck was I when [...]

Andrew from Grooveshark left me a comment the other day when I mentioned Girl Talk to an interview they did with Greg Gillis, aka Girl Talk.  I can’t recommend the interview more.  I laughed out loud in a few parts and it’s really laid back and shows a lot of the character from the man [...]

I couldn’t find it on youtube, so just click HERE to watch it. If you like typography, you’ll love this video. It’s very similar to their previous video for “Dance Music” in that it all is one continuous shot blending into one another, only with this video it actually is a single shot [...]

I’m working on it.  Yep, that’s the update.  But I wanted to let you know I wasn’t slacking like usual this time around with my lack of posts.  I’ve been busy compiling my top 50 list and writing songs.  Next week is my Best of 2007 week, so get yourself prepared.  My top 50 list [...]
