pela appreciation day

dear friends,

listening to a new pela remix (via brooklyn vegan) has me remembering how much i loved this band when they opened for rainer maria. they are proving to be the perfect accompaniment to gender and american religious history. that is to say, these songs are the only thing that are keeping me from falling asleep.

and also, "don't just stand there, tell me i'm something" is one of the greatest lyrics in the history of ever.

pela-lost to the lonesome
pela-the trouble with river cities

to the working,
cam
