we’re about to be in a throuple with the couch

I told her tonight that every day, she’s the same woman but different. The same lover and friend and partner at heart but always surprising me, always showing off a new angle or side. That’s how I know this can go on forever, I said.

I say a lot of things but I can’t say enough, get enough.

Swooping back in to say Waxahatchee is as good as the hype. Goddamn, Katie Crutchfield can sing a country song.

So many songs want to be “Heroes” (yeah, yeah, if just for one day)

Seeing Silversun Pickups for the 1st time and still not convinced Silversun Pickups is a real band

a man says there are times when i look at people and see nothing worth liking ALT: a man says there are times when i look at people and see nothing worth liking

Me, nearly all the time: Everyone i meet is a miracle!

Me, at music festivals:

First band of my day. Time to adopt my signature arms-crossed aloof pose.

Magdalena bay
Band of horses
Waxahatchee
Maybe pixies?

At my first music festival in like 3 years, first I’m not covering in … god knows. Hello Omaha.

The Nebraska pickup with the “TD NEB” vanity plate is … not

Just saw a big rig dubbed “the gray phantom” and that’s the most badass thing I’ve encountered in a minute

For my $, the quintessential American writer

YOU AS WELL!!!

Kansas City, we meet again

I AM DRIVING TO SEE HOLLY FOR THE WEEKEND AND I CO-SIGN ALL OF THIS. ELECTRICITY!

It’s like I can’t sleep alone anymore; her curved frame the only pull into softness, oblivion.

Look, man, every cell in your body can already know you found the right one (or she found you). But some nights, something particular happens and those cells start singing and it’s a different kind of magic altogether.

One of them days

Doing some online maintenance on a Friday night like a cool guy, so decided to change my pic here too.

haha no. In Omaha.

Tomorrow I’ll go to a music festival for the first time in like 3 years. Here one of my favorite things (live music) meets one of my least favorite (other people).

Thankfully, Holly will be there to hold and sing with and enjoy to keep me unbothered by the latter.

Hello.

jesus

went quite well and hey ... some of you will be jealous(y) when the story drops

August arrives in the dark.
