I mentioned that Ben Folds would be on Conan last night, and here's the video! Whoo! Figured most of you would enjoy watching it. Watch the music video for the song too. It was directed by Tim and Eric from Adult Swim's Tim and Eric Awesome Show and is really weird, and pretty funny.Ben Folds w/Regina Spektor on Conan -You Don't Know Me Video

Here’s a nice little heads up for you. Ben Folds is going to be singing is first single, “You Don’t Know Me”, with special guest Regina Spektor tonight on Conan. I don’t know about you, but I plan on watching that. Should be good stuff.Sorry I’ve been gone for awhile as far as posting goes. We’ve been going full head of steam with the label since we started signing the bands

Grand Archive's self-titled Sub Pop offering was released February of this year. I literally had it sitting in my 2008 folder that long without even coming close to listening to it. You'd be surprised just how many albums from this year I have sitting unlistened like this one. I always say I'll get to them, but honestly, it takes a fluke super bored night like tonight to get me bored enough ...

Annuals - Confessor (Subterranean Link) "The treatment for the video was written by Annuals' own Zach Oden and then brought to life by Terry Gilliam's special effects designer, Daniel Auber. It is not only gorgeous and fantastical, but it also features drawing-versions of the actual band. You know, if they were traveling woods-guides and prison torturers living in a storybook that takes plac...

Here’s a little something new for you coming out of the Ben Folds camp. I’m sure most of you savvy cats out there have already heard this, but for those of you that haven’t yet, I suggest you take a listen asap. It’s Ben Folds doing his usual thing, and biased ‘ol me is loving every second of it. I’m getting both his new album and Margot and the Nuclear So and So’s new double a

Burn After Reading Directed by the Coen Brothers Perch Score: 8.672 I went with a few friends of mine late last night to catch the Coen Brother's new flick Burn After Reading and loved it. I'd read plenty of reviews going into it, all saying one of two things. One, that it was fun, way over the top, and ultimately pointless for such a great ensemble to take on. Or two, that it was too dark t...

I doubt this is much of an exclusive, but I always enjoy having Perch Exclusive in my post title to build excitement. I received in my inbox today a much anticipated email from Sony Epic, Margot's new label, giving me a peek at the new album and confirming that my copy is in the mail for review. Oh the excitement. I immediately listened to the two tracks they're letting us bloggers share, an...

Has anyone been watching the Ryder Cup? I’m a golfer myself, so I can watch it on tv fine without feeling the need to call it the most boring sport in the world. But, today’s matches were as intense as golf gets in my opinion. There were more “USA!” chants during today’s matches than there are at a Republican national convention. I love how defensive we get when someone tries to

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. I was going to make a nice birthday Perch Mix, but then I searched my birthday post last y...

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 great news in my book.From the info I've gathered, Pallett is releasing two EP's in the next month or so full of a...

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 studio recording their upcoming full length, Mean Everything to Nothing , at the Blackbi...

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 give both sides a chance, which most people won't even do, but I'm an Obama guy for...

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 happy to see people supporting LemonDrop and our artists out of the pure love of mu...

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 band I found out about in the latest Rolling Stones (I'm ashamed to even say that statement, since ..

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 be super DIY and won't be too polished or professional sounding at all I imagine...

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 and we ended up using this summer not to release the site like planned in June, but to build from scratch and ref...
