PUMP IT UP

Hey, guys! This has been a busy week for me. Government tests, interviews with funeral home directors, and, tomorrow, Kelsey and I will finally be living our pre-teen dream of seeing Pearl Jam live at ACL. No, Pearl Jam isn't exactly indie street cred-worthy, and they really only have that one album that defined a generation. But, Kelsey and I grew up with them, and GODDAMNIT we will see them live and LOVE it if we want to.

It's gray and rainy here in Austin, the kind of weather I endure all summer for. I figured this weekend's jam should reflect the weather, and fittingly, Townes van Zandt came to mind. "Lungs" is one of my favorite songs ever, and I hope you enjoy it.


Also, for your viewing pleasure, here are some vintage playboy covers. I LOVE these. I love how classy and creative they are (just LOOK at how the bunny is incorporated in each photo), and I wish the concept of "sexy" would move back to this natural, womanly physical aesthetic, in which women have command of their sexuality without being trampy or vulgar about it.

Have a great rest of the weekend, everyone!

CHEERS,
Rachel

P.S. I'm going out for burritos after this. You know that Jimmy Fallon pizza party dance? If I could do that for burritos, which I can, I would, and I WILL.
