Editor's Note: This is the first official guest post by blogger, music-writer pal, Joy Wagner. Her Brooklyn home-base provides a good perspective from our Eastern Citizen Dick Campus, as Citizen James has been MIA, illegally hunting rhinos in the Asian Steppe. I have been in the depths of another school-year onset, and have been MIA completely. Big thanks to Joy for heading out to catch this show. Elvis Perkins put out one of the best records in the last few years, and 'The Dearland' portion of that record is [...]
Did you know that "raptured" can be used as a verb? That is one of the many exciting facts that I've learned due to heightened awareness from the upcoming rapture. I don't know about the rest of the world, but Denver is on alert. I have seen three vans driving around downtown advertising the May 21st rapture and a handful of billboards . I've personally been procrastinating at work, because, what's the point if the world as we know it is going to end Saturday? Anyway, to help you prepare, here's a playlist to [...]
Good grief it's Monday… I could bore you with an explanation, but really, does anyone care?! Only MM and he's accepting of circumstances in his usual fishy way. We were quiz-lings again on Friday, and psychopaths (or should that be sociopaths?) notwithstanding, a good time was had by all. This week, the Teenager had his first humiliation in matters of the heart. Apparently, my rather vocal outrage and promise to swot her like a fly in my own game of seek and destroy, quelled his bleeding heart and even made him laugh. One special hot chocolate [...]
A few years back I was blown away by Elvis Perkins on one of his first ever shows in England with the band that later became known as Dearland. The individual performances and overall song structures blew me away and inspired one of the first posts on this blog. Diamond Doves for to all intents [...]

![Ethan Gold – "Poison" [VIDEO]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3093321_lg.jpg)
Ethan Gold was is destined to create good music. He is responsible for producing and providing most of the instrumentals to the Ash Wednesday album from Elvis Perkins in Dearland . And now he is actually releasing his debut album that originally started out as a "rock opera" that he condensed down to an actual 12 track LP entitled Songs From A Toxic Apartment . The first single from the album is "Poison" which is accompanied by a very stylistic video that you can check out below. Keep a lookout for this album which drops [...]
Okay, so today we start our lists. I have made my own list of my top twenty albums of the year, but in all honesty I am still struggling to pare down my Festive Fifty to, er, fifty. At the moment it's more like a Festive three hundred and seventy six, which won't do at all. It is, as my father (and W.C. Fields) used to say, no use to man nor beast. This is your chance, however, to put your five favourite songs of the year into the comments, and we'll see who the readers of Song, [...]
It's not going to surprise anyone at all that I am being an absolute slob today, is it? Mrs. Toad got back from Australia around lunchtime, and after a few hours of pottering about she crashed out with jetlag, so I snuck off to record the podcast. I am sure that soon enough she will wake and start demanding attention and general servitude soon enough, so I better get this over with quickly. After that I am going straight back to bed to watch stupid films while my sweetheart dozes by my side, awaking occasionally to tell me [...]
Elvis Perkins In Dearland - " I Heard Your Voice In Dresden " What do you get when you cross Norman Bates with some insane musical talent, and a bit of melancholy? Well, Elvis Perkins, of course. On his debut album, Ash Wednesday, Perkins dealt with some heavy issues, including the death of his mother on 9/11 and his father's death from AIDS only a decade earlier. His second album, Elvis Perkins In Dearland , is much lighter on the content but still comes hard with the folk. [...]
As My Morning Jacket is set to kick off their five-night, full album residency tonight at New York's cavernous Terminal 5, we wanted to remind everyone to head in early as the Kentucky-based band has recruited an impressive and diverse group of acts to hold down the opening slot. Among the bands that will take the stage before MMJ are psych-rockers Dungen, folk-rock act Elvis Perkins In Dearland and roots-rockers Hacienda - whose sophomore album Big Red & Barbacoa was among my Top 6 Of The First 6 . [...]
Call it a sign of the times, but rumors that The Cars will reunite began to surface earlier this week after the seminal pop-rock band posted this picture to their official Facebook page showing the surviving members playing in the studio together with caption - "anyone in the mood for a reunion by The Cars?" The band, who broke up in 1987 shortly after the release of their sixth studio Door To Door , staged a comeback under the moniker The New Cars in 2005 without original lead singer Ric Ocasek and drummer [...]
MUSIC NEWS - From the BAD NEWS / GOOD NEWS file!! Sadly it's true- Justin Townes Earle cut up his hand recently and required 19 stitches to put him back together. So, he's unable to play his 1st Newport Folk Festival this weekend in Newport, RI (Rochester, NY on 7/29 and Northampton, MA at the Iron Horse on 7/30 cancelled too). Fortunately, the Folk Music Gods were indeed smiling. Exactly 45 minutes after receiving the news from Earle's agent, Elvis Perkins In Dearland happened to call the organizers for tickets to the festival. As good promoters [...]
Filed under: Concerts and Tours , News , Exclusive Elvis Perkins In Dearland just got way more than they asked for when they called up the folks at Newport Folk Festival recently, looking for tickets to this year's event. Organizers one-upped their request by inviting the band to bring their instruments and perform. One of the festival's producers, Jay Sweet, tells Spinner that "It took all of 60 seconds for them to think about it." The addition was the result of impeccable [...]

If you haven't heard yet, we're doing something pretty cool this coming Sunday. As part of this year's Brooklyn based Northside Festival , Consequence of Sound will be presenting two separate showcases featuring six different bands, but both will be taking place on the same day (Sunday, June 27th), and at the same location (Newtown Barge Park). So, ideally, this is how your day should go: Wake up in morning, grab a vegan omelet (it's Brooklyn after all!), and then, around 1:00pm, get on the G Train and make your way to up [...]

Okay, it's official. We're seriously taking over Jay-Z's hometown. As part of this year's Brooklyn-based Northside Music Festival , Consequence of Sound will not host just one thrilling concert , but two. And ready for the best part? They take place on the same day (Sunday, June 27th), at the same location (Newtown Barge Park), and on the same exact stage (MetroPCS stage). So, right after ARMS (recently added!), Elvis Perkins In Dearland , and A.A. Bondy provide a care-free, relax-your-ass-off Sunday afternoon performance, you'll also be [...]
