Perry Ellis
With Pax and the Padre off enjoying sunnier climes, it devolves to Perry Ellis to keep some semblance business as usual around these parts.
So here’s a pair of items designed to warm the cockles of our hearts (and yet another music re-issue update), with a double hat tip to Pitchfork:
1) The redoubtable Rhino Records is re-releasing the 1966 album by Official Saint of Pax Arcana Otis Redding, the seminal Otis Blue: Otis Redding Sings Soul, the LP that brought “Respect” to the world–and Aretha Franklin. Sock it to me.

May the blessings of the saint be upon you evermore.
2) The working title of The Hold Steady’s fourth album in five years is Stay Positive, which is unnecessary advice for Perry Ellis–just the news that this great band is hard at work in the studio is enough to keep hope alive.
As the week wears on without our esteemed leader and his capable sidekick, we hope to have a post from our new advice columnist, courtesy of the Reverend E, and anything else Perry can scrape from the Webertubes between researching integrated supply and open-source ERP products. Stay tuned!

Who’s got the better mustache, Otis, Pax or the Boss of the Beast Lair? You be the judge!

Wouldn’t even know if it’s sunnier here. Last time I was outside was Saturday morning. Send help.

Get some Sans-a-belt slacks, sandals and black socks and you can make your escape unseen. We’ll pick you up at the airport with a set of clothes made before 1950.
