I saw Punch Drunk Love on November 21, 2002 at 7:50pm I still have the ticket stub. It was the beginning of so many wonderful things that still continue to grow. One of which is my LOVE for Paul Thomas Anderson , Punch Drunk Love is in my humble opinion one of the greatest love stories of all time. If you haven't seen it, you are missing out on something magical. The soundtrack is by no other than Jon Brion and to say that Brion's colorful score and PTA's [...]
The Diver Sank through easeful azure. Flower creatures flashed and shimmered there- lost images fadingly remembered. Swiftly descended into canyon of cold nightgreen emptiness. Freefalling, weightless as in dreams of wingless flight, plunged through infra- space and came to the dead ship, carcass that swarmed with voracious life. Angelfish, their lively blue and yellow prised from darkness by the flashlight's beam, thronged her portholds. Moss of bryozoans blurred, obscured her metal. [...]
Jon Brion - I Believe She's Lying (from Meaningless ) Jon Brion's weekly live show at the shockingly small restaurant (it's a stretch to call it a club) Largo in Los Angeles is kind of legendary. It's just him, a wide array of instruments, a looping system, and a stage. You can book a reservation months in advance to sit and have dinner while he plays, or you could stand outside [...]

Live: Jon Brion @ Largo, 10.06.07
Jon Brion at Amoeba Music / Photo by David Greenwald The scene: Largo , a dimly lit restaurant and bar filled with tables, booths, and a little standing-room-only. Somehow we managed to score a booth right next to the stage. We arrived at 6:15 and were lucky enough to get in; my friend and his girlfriend got there at 7:15 and were the last two to make it in. Brion didn't go on until 10:30, but if you're planning on going (which you should, if you live in Los Angeles and have [...]

Short Story Saturday #9 "A Small, Good Thing"
Today's short story is from one of my favorite authors of short fiction and the man who inspired Robert Altman's Short Cuts , the brilliant Raymond Carver. Carver was one of the great writers of the 20th Century, a man who once described himself as, "hooked on writing short stories." Here is one of his better known and most highly regarded pieces, "A Small, Good Thing," with the full text and mp3s after the jump. Next week's short story is "The Lady with the Dog" by Anton Chekhov, whose death Carver himself immortalized in "The Errand." [...]

Classic Perch Mix #1
This is a new feature I'm going to start here not because I'm lazy and don't want to make new Perch Mixes, but because a lot of the Perch Mixes from the xanga days are still absolutely excellent mixes of songs well worth sharing again. Most of my Perch Radio playlist were compiled mainly by sifting through my old Perch Mixes and picking out my favorite songs from those. This one in particular may be my all time favorite because it combines the soundtracks of four of my favorite movies into one grand movie soundtrack. If you're [...]

" The boy and I both definitely have our weirdities so it [...]

Films on the Mind
First off I want to say that this has been in the works (well in my head) for almost six months, but i've never had the time to just sit down and think about what I wanted to include. I make no secret about my love for film here on the site, as it's almost equal to my love of music. The connection I find between films and music is simple. It's that one scene and that one song that if they're both put to use correctly, than it can set that mood perfectly without there even being any kind [...]
