Elvis Perkins in Dearland...

is magnificent. period.

I think I'm officaly in the "freak-out" mode, because I'm going to see him on Saturday. You have no idea how long i've been waiting for this moment. I couldn't see him at SXSW cause his day show was on Thursday and I had to work, and well I didn't have a badge/wristband to see him at La Zona Rosa that night. So here we are.... it's Monday and I'm gonna see him at Stubb's on Saturday.

Is there a raging super fan code that I need to follow? I don't have that memo or read that article yet, I don't want to go up to him like a pre-pubscent teen going up to manufactured singer in a boy band who's posters cover my walls. I want to be cool, hip and smart. How does this sound... "Hey Elvis. Good show man!" I don't say man, I never say man. How about... "ELVIIIIIISSS!!!!" Nah, that's too Elvis-has-just-left-the-building crazy. See how I'm over analyzing all this.

Seriously if you don't own Ash Wednesday by now, you need to hurry up and go get it. This album as seriously changed my life. I'm a big Bobby Dylan fan, can I call him that? And Perkins really does remind me of Dylan's younger days in a strange way. I will definetly post more about him, especially after the show because I have a feeling i'm going to come back in love him music and want him to sing to me every night before we fall asleep. What? I know, I'll stop.
