Paint’s peeling – Rilo Kiley Today’s stuttering, defensive justification on why i love Rilo Kiley so much comes in the form of… Well, there was this larger indie scene i was wholly ignorant to except in that it was what the cool livejournal keepers listened to back at the turn of the century.

The Execution Of All Things

The execution of all things – Rilo Kiley The oldest, still wearable t-shirt i own is my Rilo Kiley shirt. Still without holes and intact despite a stretched neckline, it’s in such good condition because it was well made and because i’m so often not brave enough to wear it. My shameful love for this [...]

Actually i care deeply what everyone says, but that’s not going to change anything, and i’ve come to a point of recognition of my sub-subordinate cultural and social standing that nothing i say, do [...]

Science vs. Romance – Rilo Kiley I don’t know if this is an appropriate song or not. It’s just the one that happened today. Rest in peace, Kevin Charles Johnston. 7/10/1928 – 8/11/2010.
