• Of Elvis Perkins [myspace], NPR writes “brooding, thoughtful, sophisticated” [#] and “heartbreaking but hopeful” [#]. This is a nice way of saying that he’s a folkish rock singer whose voice is just weird enough to keep you paying attention and pretty enough that listening to his sad songs might just make you happy.

• The poster for tonight’s Voyager One + Head Like a Kite show remains one of the most eye-catching I’ve seen in weeks. You know it. It’s black and white with a dog barking and a a large “V” spanning the “oyager” and the “one” lines. Even if you didn’t like epic space rock, this might be enough to draw you in. [crocodile]
• Indie P.R. and music blogging masterminds the WIG celebrate their birthday tonight in the local installation of WIG BASH 2007 by gathering Iceage Cobra, Shim, Seaweed Jack, and the Trucks. It’s a pretty diverse menu; so dull moments should be few and far between, particularly with the ladies of the Trucks doing everything in their power to make you dance. [highdive]
• Dodge and Burn, a new collaboration from BLVD Gallery, Gummi Studio and Alyssa Rhodes that focuses on digestion of urban contemporary lifestyle arts and culture, launches a website (wearedodgeburn.com) tonight at the Baltic Room. DJs and live painting!
