The Pelican’s Perch

I rarely write about politics on here, because let’s be honest, you’re either for one side or the other, and most people get very angry when someone from one side talks bad about their candidate.  Heck, I even sat painfully through Guliani’s speech last night and got through most of Palin’s speech as well.  I’ll [...]

I don’t about you, but there’s been exciting time over at my end.  We finally released our label’s online store, which is getting slow, but steady traffic.  No one’s downloaded the albums for free yet, with the lowest being a couple bucks, so, while we’re still at the super beginning stages, I’m still more than [...]

Yeah!  That’s what comes to my mind every time I see the name Ra Ra Riot.  Sure, there’s Clap Your Hands Say Yeah!, but I think Ra Ra Riot Yeah! sounds way better.  But enough about their name, this album is incredible.  You heard it right.  Increíble!  That’s Spanish for ya holmes.

At 5pm (Central Time).  It’ll be officially up and running.  Be there.  Let me know what you think.

When it comes to DIY albums, I’ll be the first to admit, I almost always don’t like them.  Being somewhat of an audiofile, I like my albums sounding polished and squeaky clean with production value up the wazoo.  Which is kind of ironic considering my future album, whenever that gets around to being recorded, will [...]

Long time readers should be more than excited to be reading this post.  My record label, which I started almost exactly a year ago with a friend, is one week from being officially up and running.  What took so long?  Well, a ton of stuff came up on our quest to get the label running [...]

I’ll admit right off the bat that if I found Owl City a few years ago, I’d be proclaiming it the best music I’d heard in a long time.  Of course, I’ve been past my Postal Service phase for a while now, and while Mae are still a guilty pleasure of mine, they’re not nearly [...]

I recently swapped music with my friend Grant before he left town for good to live in Detroit.  He will be missed surely, but I figured I’d take advantage of one of the few people besides me here in town that had an even more extensive, organized music collection than me.  I think all but [...]

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 [...]
