Exclusive: New Elvis Perkins in Dearland Song!

Spirited folkie/multi-instrumental sensation Elvis Perkins has a new song to share with the world. Considering his epic flair for making remarkably delicious stew out of whatever’s in the refrigerator (listen to 2009’s The Doomsday EP to hear clarinets, trombones, giant bass drums, and much more), should we be surprised that Perkins is debuting this new work via Skype via a Gabe & Max 100 Seconds webisode via the internet? Perhaps not. You can watch below to see how this definition-dodging bandleader throws us yet another curve ball. Suffice it to say, the song is unlike, um, anything he’s done...  read more

Best Music of 2009 (So Far): Kate Kiefer, Associate Editor

To celebrate the half-way point of 2009, this week Paste staffers are counting down their favorite albums and songs of the year (so far). Check out all of our lists here, and share your own favorites in the comments. You might notice that Passion Pit’s Manners isn’t on my list, and that’s because I don’t like Passion Pit very much. (Apparently I’m in the minority.) I didn’t include Wild Light’s “California On My Mind” either, but that’s only because Josh plays it so many times a day that I feel like it’s his own personal song. As for the music I did include…if...  read more

Top 12 Bonnaroo Moments

Somehow, 2009 marked my first Bonnaroo. After years of hearing stories of the hot, dust-laden, never-ending days in Manchester--combined with years of attending festivals and being unimpressed by inferior sound, overcrowded grounds and annoying sound bleed--I was skeptical. But I enjoyed every moment of Bonnaroo. Great acts were a given (as they've been at most fests I've attended), but the festival was large enough to constantly hold my interest but, somehow, still manageable. Sound was great, crowds didn't interfere with seeing or hearing bands, bleed was minimal, and fest organization was impressive.There are many great moments I missed. I'm kicking...  read more
