#band: laura jane grace

[bpm-of-my-heart]

Today's Audio is: "China Beach" by Laura Jane Grace & the Devouring Mothers

[future-crab]

I can't believe Laura Jane Grace and the Devouring Mothers made an entire album of Mountain Goats covers that (from what I can tell) never got released. Laura if you're reading this... it's not too late

EDIT: I have been informed that the entire album is available on Laura’s patreon. Life is beautiful.

This is such a sweet line, I admire very much the way she depicts a stutter as a sweet thing. You see so little flawed voice praise and it’s beautiful. Thank you, Laura.

me: so this song is about two guys with big dreams who didn’t fit the mold of their traditional christian west texas society and so that society separated them and tried to beat them down. but the moral is that those attempts to make them conform aren’t worthy of any praise or deserving of any forgiveness, and those two guys are gonna keep fighting to make something of themselves despit-

my mom: did he just sing “hail satan”? 🤢 i don’t know if you should be listening to this stuff

where’s the band’s name from?: As a teen, Laura felt like the whole world was against her. So her very first demo was called “against me!”, and subsequently, the band. (credit to @paralytic-states for letting me know!!)
