Boys and girls, check out the first video from Elvis Perkins in Dearland’s self-titled debut (out now and available here).

"XL Recordings… raising the merch game since 1989."

I just wanna see a sea of these bumpin’ to Orange Shirt at LPR next week.

Big ups to Cap Sac^TM for the goods!

The pride of, um, upstate New York will be showing the City Of Brotherly Love how it’s done today at 12 Noon EDT (9 AM PDT) as they rock their way through a lunchtime set for WXPN’s Free At Noon concert series. If you weren’t lucky enough to win tickets to the gig at World Cafe Live, you can listen live on the interweb via WXPN’s site. You won’t get to actually view the handsome lads, but it will be the next best thing to being there.

Jack Peñate stopped by the viva-radio studios when he was in town a few weeks back. He  recorded a DJ set and chatted with Mr. Ted Schumacher. You can heard said session this afternoon.

Viva-Radio Naked Fridays DJ Set pt. 29

Friday June 19 4-5PM EDT

Also Penate live at Radio 1’s Maida Vale Studio.

Looking for a reason to cut out of work early on Casual Friday?
Well, friends, I have said reason.
St. Vincent and her friends are popping into Waterloo Records in Austin to treat fans to an in-store set in the midst of their current US tour.
So there’s your reason. Just don’t tell your boss I told you so.
Tomorrow. 3pm. Waterloo Records. St. Vincent. Sunshine. Sounds like a perfect Friday to me.

Tune on over to 89.9 FM in the greater LA area or click over to KCRW’s site at 11:15AM PDT (2:15 EDT – that’s just thirty minutes from now, kids!) to immerse yourself in the sonic grandeur that will be The Horrors’ Morning Becomes Eclectic session. Host Jason Bentley is a huge fan, so the interview should be inspired. You heard it here first.

Only a few hours before their in-store at Ear-X-Tacy, Elvis Perkins In Dearland will hit the airwaves at Louisville’s WFPK for a live broadcast at 3 PM EST.

Can’t make it to Ear-X-Tacy? Can’t make it to Louisville? You can get your dose of EPID at http://wfpk.org/ . Louisvillians can tune in at 91.9 FM (AND go to the instore).

Don’t miss it, k?
