The lovely Karen Elson continues her year of hard work with a live session airing today, September 1, on Morning Becomes Eclectic. Coming hot off the heels of the premiere of her new video “The Truth Is In The Dirt” on Vanityfair.com, Karen will perform for the friendly types at KCRW starting at 11:15AM PDT/2:15PM EDT. Feel free to listen along on their website, or on the regular old radio in Southern California on 89.9FM.

I wasn’t able to cram quite as much alliteration into the subject line for this post as I wanted. The fact, however, remains that the one and only Pantha du Prince will be making a rare US radio appearance today at 5:00PM EDT on East Village Radio‘s Pizza Party, where hosts Max and Kevin will talk to the artist also known as Hendrik Weber about the making of his new album, Black Noise. Tune in at eastvillageradio.com.

Those of you who are reading this and thinking, “What the deuce? I thought Pantha du Prince lived in Germany! What is he doing in New York?” should be aware that while Mr. Weber is indeed based in Germany, he is in town to play his first New York show in three years tonight at Santos Party House. You should further be aware that there is still time for you to get tickets to what is sure to be one of those shows people talk about for years to come and make all their friends jealous because it was just that awesome.

P.S. As you can see from the handy flyer above, those of you in Los Angeles have a chance to live the Pantha du Prince experience for yourselves tomorrow night. Don’t miss it.

San Francisco/New York dual citizenship holders the morning benders swung by the World Café studios the last time they were in Philadelphia and today at 2PM EDT, you can hear the fruits of those labors. World Café can be heard worldwide on WXPN’s site or in the greater 215 region on 88.5 on your FM dial. Also, if you are in New York City, don’t miss the quartet play a free outdoor show this Saturday on The Beach at Governors Island, with Freelance Whales and Wild Nothing in support.

Canadian groovesmiths Holy Fuck, who are in Minneapolis to blow minds tonight at the Turf Club, will first swing by Radio K to charm station employees and Minneapolis radio listeners with a live set. All of this wondrousness kicks off at 4:30PM CDT. One can listen as the band works through numbers from their brand spanking new album, Latin, either online or in the land of Husker Du and Prince on 104.5 (Metro Area)/100.7 (St. Paul)/106.5 (Minneapolis, after 4:30PM) on your FM dial or, if you value the lo-fi, at 770 AM.

Karen Elson will be at Grimey’s next Wednesday, May 26 at 6pm for a free, all ages instore to celebrate the release of her debut album The Ghost Who Walks, available Tuesday on XL Recordings.

During their whirlwind visit to NYC earlier this month, Ariel Pink’s Haunted Graffiti brought their particular brand of ruckus to Viva Radio’s Naked Fridays, and their guest DJ appearance there can be heard in its full glory today at viva-radio.com/nakedfridays, starting at 4PM EDT. Not only can you hear the gents pick out other people’s songs, you can hear their impromptu keyboard/human beatbox version of instant classic “Round And Round” (from the forthcoming APHG album Before Today, which is conveniently available for pre-order at our webstore).
