Quit coming home completely piss-drunk at 4 in the morning and posting things on tumblr.
Chicago.
Anyone following me live in Chicago? I need to make some Chicago pals.
Talking Heads - This Must Be The Place (Naive...
I'm going to Seattle because:
bethlehems:
(in response to treesandbirds) Jackson Browne is playing at Chateau St. Michelle, and my parents are huge fans. It’s our family vacation for the summer—we’re going with some family friends and my boyfriend (unfortunately, not as hipster as my parents paying my way, underarrest). My dad also wants to see Glacier National Park and check out Bainbridge Island.
I’m also hoping...
Reblog with your five favorite albums.
If you can’t pick your favorite five, then pick your current favorites, or 5 you like.
1. DJ Shadow - Endtroducing… 2. Wilco - A Ghost is Born 3. John Fahey - The Transfiguration of Blind Joe Death 4. Fela Kuti - Coffin for Head of State 5. Bob Dylan - Blood On The Tracks
I think that the statement, "I listen to...

Lykke Li - Let It Fall
I am unreasonably empty and sparse, a beat in the summer, like an anthem furious and persistent but still subtle and collect calm and collect can you hear the absence of nonsense? I can, and it creeps like an unnecessary violin at a funeral, give me a break you’re bigger than that, like I am we are giants and deserve the little bits of arrogance we get so give me a break and appreciate...
Awkward Situations.
A lot of times I’ll talk to someone about doing something out of the ordinary, and they’ll say “no, let’s not do that, it’ll be awkward.” What’s the big deal folks? I guess I understand how awkward situations can be a big deal for some — they just typically aren’t for me. I will willingly and deliberately shove myself into an incredibly awkward...
AIM
Ah, what the hell? My screen name is aonacam, and you all are welcome to IM me whenever you want. I’d ‘preciate it if you folks would mention your tumblr URL if you say hi, though. I am always down for some friendly conversation.

and I’m sitting on my porch with a warm beer, a cigarette, and a special candle that’s supposed to keep the bugs away. I’ve been attacked by bugs many times today. I was sitting in the garage earlier and a wasp literally charged at me. I was sitting in the living room and a bee that somehow got in decided to set up shop on my arm. I moved to the garage and a giant spider...

Cold War Kids - Tell Me In the Morning
Been messing around on the piano a bit today...
I’m no longer a bird stuck in a garage flapping anxious wings in vain no, I slide open the door and climb in the van. I had one ticket but didn’t need it didn’t need hole puncher validation I needed the trip to touch me — I needed the dream to love me. Now I think in nonsensical bubbles that float furiously, a constant halo I poison them with whiskey and at night I forget....
the nature of the purest form of interaction, an inkling I had that led to the truest action ever undertaken by my lips the innocence of grade school and carelessness of — my God, things are good no matter what I am a child this is my drug and I am not naive but rather content.
Kentucky!
I need to go to Kentucky to buy a carton of smokes. I don’t want to drive all the way down to Kentucky to do that, but it’s worth it. I just have to wait until rush hour is over. I’m starting to get tired of this habit though. I love smoking, don’t get me wrong. But buying cigarettes is just becoming a big hassle.
Colin, Colin!

I downloaded your album a boatload of time ago but because I’m incredibly lazy and a real jerk, I never listened to the whole thing. UNTIL NOW. Someone posted a song of yours and it lit a fire under my lazy fingers (you know, ‘cause i type wit dem) and have been listening for a little bit of time now. It’s really lovely and I thought you should know.
Cheers.
EDIT: I guess I...

Even as we speak, there’s a smoker’s cough from behind the whitethorn hedge: we stop dead in our tracks; a distant tingle of water into a trough. In the past half-hour—since a cattle truck all but sent us shuffling off this mortal coil— we’ve consoled ourselves with the dregs of a bottle of Redbreast. Had Hawthorne been a Gael, I insist, the scarlet A on Hester Prynne would have stood...
I finally got my car out of the shop.
And consequently, I’ll be out of this city very soon. Chicago, I’m on my way. Sort of. Anyway, I’m excited. I’ll probably scrounge up some friends and have an apartment warming party. Then, when they’re all gone, I’ll probably get a job in a shitty restaurant. Then, when I have some money, I’ll probably blow it all on cigarettes and records.
It's 4:29 AM
And I think I just may be losing my mind. All I do at this time of the night is listen to frantic drum n bass and Portishead, smoke cigarettes, drink caffeinated beverages, and freak out. This can’t be good for me. I let my overanalytical tendencies take over — my brain goes wild, and I starve for smart answers to dumb questions. And I don’t make any sense. I should probably just...

I was building a fence in the backyard a few days ago and, in doing so, apparently became an object of interest for neighborhood moms.
From an ex-girlfriend/friend who babysits in the area: “She asked me who that ‘gorgeous guy’ was building the fence and said I should try to date him because he was a ‘real man’. She was really disappointed in me when I told her that we dated for...
5 things I love about living on my own:
1. Listening to Bruce Springsteen really loud. 2. Smoking inside. 3. Being naked all day. 4. Cooking whatever the hell I want. 5. Inviting people over to drink and play music.
Purchasing Music vs. Illegally Downloading Music
I am one of those people that likes to purchase music rather than download it illegally. I am not that much of a stickler, however, because I don’t see any problem with buying music on the internet. A lot of people like to have a physical CD or record in their hands, complete with album artwork and lyrics, et cetera, but I am not one of those people. I enjoy music because of the music, not...

All I want to do right now
Is ride in the back of a pick up truck through rural Kentucky tobacco farmland, smoking cigarettes, listening to the 2nd South Carolina String Band, and drinking bourbon.

It's time to create some late night jams.
Some sad acoustic stuff maybe. Or maybe just “me losing my mind” gibberish acoustic stuff. We’ll see. I’ll post it when I’m done.
holy shit colin weaver
