Ah, my birthday. The only day of the year all my friends on facebook actually talk to me with all their clever happy birthday messages. Hey, it’s this person and this person I haven’t talked to in forever saying happy birthday to me. That’s nice. Wait, who’s this person. And so on. It’s fun though. [...]

New Final Fantasy Songs
Not too long ago, Stereogum had a few new songs from Final Fantasy featured exclusive to his blog. If you know me at all, you know my love for Owen Pallett’s music. Sure, it’s strange at times, and it’s not everyone’s cup of tea, but I love it. So, any new Final Fantasy stuff is [...]

New Manchester Orchestra - “I Can Feel a Hot One”
Last year, Manchester Orchestra overtook Brand New as my new favorite melodic indie hard rock band. That category probably doesn’t make sense, but they were my #3 album of the year last year and I’m still listening to the great I’m Like a Virgin Losing a Child. Well, I just got news that they’re in [...]

The Perch Gets Political
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 [...]

Perch Community Project #3 - Detektivbyran Interview (try 2)
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 [...]

Ra Ra Riot - The Rhumb Line
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.Ra Ra Riot, a [...]

Pet Ghost Project - Cheer Up It’s Raining
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 [...]

LemonDrop Records drops officially September 1st!
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 [...]

Owl City - Maybe I’m Dreaming
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 [...]
