The Pelican’s Perch

I’ve been waiting a while for any new info on the new pop supergroup fun since they unveiled their first single at their myspace, and I’m happy to announce that I’ve got a wealth of new info for you.  For those unfamiliar with the band, the members consist of former front man of The Format [...]

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.  [...]

Good news for all you Owl City fans out there.  He recently posted his new single, Hot Air Balloon, on his new website, and announced that his new album, Ocean Eyes, will be out September 1st.  Most of you know that Owl City remain one of my favorite guilty pleasures, so I’ll man up and [...]

There’s no denying this is old news, as this single was on the Twilight soundtrack, but being the good, loyal Mute Math fan I am, I completely missed that they had a new EP that came out in March.  I’m mainly posting this because I enjoy the song and am a huge fan of the [...]

Stereogum has been premiering Death Cab’s new EP, The Open Door, track by track all week.  I’ve had a few listens to each song and have to say it’s all good stuff.  Nothing new or groundbreaking with this new EP, but I don’t really know any Death Cab fan that expects that.  We all just [...]

I’ve been meaning to write up a review for Manchester Orchestra’s new release, Mean Everything to Nothing, which is just fantastic and was definitely worth the long wait, so look for that review soon, but in the mean time, the band are releasing a video for each song on the album one at a time [...]

EDIT:  Sorry about that.  Guess the link didn’t take and the cover never showed up.  Should work now.
The title says it all.  Easily one of my most anticipated albums this year.  I should be receiving my promo copy in the mail by the end of the week, which is beyond exciting, but they recently revealed [...]

The music news just keeps pouring in.  And the best part is the majority of it is news about albums I’ve been waiting a long time to hear.  First Manchester Orchestra, now Metric.  Two bands I absolutely love.  Metric’s new album Fantasies will be released on March 2nd and sounds like it will be an [...]

How’s this for exciting new music news.  I knew Manchester Orchestra had their new album pretty much done, but news came today of the tracklist and release date for their new album, Mean Everything to Nothing, and with the news came an mp3 for their first single, “I’ve Got Friends”.  It starts off fun and [...]

So they released the lineup for this year’s Bonnaroo festival.  If tickets weren’t $225, I’d love to get out there and see all these great bands.  Maybe a Bonnaroo executive can help a certain blogger out with a ticket.  *Wink Wink*  At least they give you a payment plan option.  But either way, I know [...]
