Next to the Fleet Foxes ' debut, my favourite summer album was from This Is Ivy League . Now there's a new remix from the French Horn Rebellion ; they have turned London Bridges into a quite appealing dance track. Check it out and let me know what you think! http://www.myspace.com/thisisi vyleague http://www.myspace.com/frenchh ornrebellion [...]

Today's my birthday! Fun times. Finally I'm 23 so I can do all kinds of new things like....um....don't you get to legally have a pet rhino at 23? Or is that you now can legally wear neon 90's hats sideways in public, 'cause I've been doing that for years! So many new things I can do now that I'm 23 it'd be impossible to list them all here. Sigh. I'd pout and say I'm old, but I'm 23 with a record label and cool music blog. Life's just getting started. Here's a huge thanks to all my great [...]

Perch Radio show #2 was last night. I thought it went pretty well. Heck, my mom even called in to the station to tell me I was doing a good job so that's got to be a good sign. I did have to decline her requests to be put on the air though. That probably would've been entertaining. Here's the playlist in case you missed it.

Love must be the most common lyrical theme, probably because it's the most wonderful human emotion. There are all different types of love to sing about...romantic love, platonic love, religious love, family love, unconditional love...although most love songs are about romantic love.

Enjoy this playlist of love [...]

Hey there tiger, happy Monday. Yeah, I'm talkin' to you. So you think you know your rock history? Or do you just want to see how little you actually know? Newsweek has a wicked-ass hard Rock 'n' Roll Quiz . It's probably the worst that this nerd has ever done on a test (52% score), but it is extremely entertaining if you like the minutae of musical history. Fun sound clips throughout, too, so turn down those speakers at work before you start the quiz -- I mean, before you start working [...]
