Listen to Wilco’s new albumWilco’s new album, simply titled Wilco (the album), is now streaming at their website.

Beatles Tube
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 [...]

New SNL Digital Short - Motherlover
Timberlake and Samberg are back for round 2, and it’s right up there with their last song. I didn’t get to see it, but word on the street has it that Justin Timberlake’s episode last night was one of the best in a while. That’s got my curiosity peaked at the least, considering SNL is [...]

Mute Math - “Spotlight”
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 [...]

Perch Gossip - Beyonce is not a good singer
-
Artist:
This is by no means a gossip site, but I came across this and thought it was hilarious and quite predictable. Some cheeky board operator took the recorded vocals from Beyonce on the Today Show and leaked them onto the net. I guess they play the album vocals into the crowd, and they never hear [...]

Miniature Tigers - Tell it to the Volcano
-
Artist:
-
Track:
Mad props to new friend of the Perch, Kip, from the blog Digging for Days, for stopping by and indirectly introducing me to Miniature Tigers through his blog. Tell it to the Volcano is perfect summer music. Laid back, super poppy, love songs. I’d say the best comparison would be to Someone Still Loves You [...]

Mythbusters Vaporize A Car
I’ll let you see the video. Words can’t possibly serve it justice. They send a rocket sled going at 650 mph head on into a car and, well, the car just disappears. I sat with my jaw dropped for a couple minutes after first seeing the slow mo. Very cool stuff and hopefully the video [...]

I’ve always been a big fan of Ashworth’s music under Casiotone for the Painfully Alone. It’s been interesting seeing the evolution of his music from simple bedroom recordings of him with a 4-track and his keyboard, to full band, fully produced albums. His newest album, Vs. Children, is released today and I’m excited for everyone [...]

New Red Band Trailer for Bruno
At the moment, it stands at NC-17. This trailer is hilarious and this new one could eclipse Borat. I can only imagine what crazy things he has done for this movie. There’s a lot of people in this country who hate gay people, and you know he’s going to go straight into their homes to [...]

Guest Book Review - The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle
So, for Valentine’s day, I bought my girlfriend a Murakami book she’d been wanting to read for quite a while, since we talked Murakami the first night we met. She finally finished it, enjoyed it, and when she was telling me about it, I told her, you know what, you should do a review! So, [...]

New Death Cab EP - The Open Door
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 [...]
