Fuckin stoked
Proof that if you wait for something long enough, and want it badly enough, and on a particularly good day happen upon a used vinyl bin that’s chock full of surprisingly solid gems, you’ll find yourself a first colored pressing of an album you were once too broke to buy upon release, and claim it for your own. Thank you trl.
And I’ve become content with this life that I lead where I drink too much and don’t believe in much of anything, and I lie to myself and say it’s for the best…

Hang on good now to how you truly want to do it. You must hold hard to life to do it. But life is a cheap thing beside a man’s work. The only thing is that you need it. Hold it tight. Now is the true time you make your play. Make it now without hope of anything.

Surprised me a bit, Hemingway writing about foursomes, but after a quick perusal of his other works the posthumous stuff is kinda racy for his time. I suppose. Way to go old man.
Success

“California” Rufus wainwright
“troublemaker” weezer
“let me kiss you” morrissey
“creature fear”+”team” Bon iver
“in your eyes” Peter Gabriel
“sinning hands” iron & wine
“honey baby” Damien jurado
“(I don’t know what’s going) on…” the cure
“long way down” Pete yorn
“one more night (your ex-lover remains dead)” stars
“good woman” cat power
“farewell to all these rotten teeth” carissa’s wierd
“wherever I go” the album leaf
“for the best” straylight run

“simple kind of life” no doubt
“can’t take my eyes off of you” Lauryn hill
“wouldn’t it be nice” the beach boys
“hello I’m in Delaware” city & colour
First ever time making one of these using lyrics, let alone trying to tell a story start to finish with two narratives and have it all tie together. Stoked on it. Hopefully the target will be as well.
Just got hit on by an OLD Scottish/Irish possible tourist type.
Is this capital hill?
Uh, yeah.
Nice place. You live close to here?

You doing school work?
