Lois

This post is inspired, in part, by a native Russian speaker's inability to properly pronounce "Lois Weber." First he called her Lewis, then he called her Loy.

It is also inspired by something I occasionally reflect on, namely, mid-to-late-nineties/early-aughts indie-rock bands that have (old-timey) feminine names, e.g., Lois (or am I thinking of this Lois?), Ida, Beulah. A related post might be on all the names of women that appear (what is the auditory equivalent of "appear"?) in Destroyer songs, e.g., Michelle ("The Very Modern Dance"), Tabitha ("Your Blood"), Contessa ("Streets of Fire"), but there's not much I can about that, and I've already fallen behind on keeping this blog a lively thing. So you'll have to imagine it, or just listen to a Destroyer song yourself.
