I'm Jen, a 30-something, music-loving mommy living in the coolest city in Texas.
About this blog:
Music, life, and more music. I love all kinds of music, but my taste seems to be more alternative/indie/folkish these days. That said, my favorite bands are as mainstream as they come. Coldplay and Snow Patrol feature heavily on this blog, so if you're not a fan of them, you may want to avoid me on Saturdays and Sundays.
I also have a health/fitness/exercise blog: move-eat-behappy.tumblr.com . Check it out if you like. :)
My musical preferences, according to my last.fm: I'm into indie, alternative, rock, folk and acoustic, including:
Coldplay, Snow Patrol, Band of Horses, Mumford & Sons, The Strokes, Death Cab for Cutie, The Swell Season, The Beatles, Tired Pony, Arcade Fire, R.E.M., Muse, The Avett Brothers, Stars, The Civil Wars, Metric, Ra Ra Riot, Travis, Noah And The Whale, Freelance Whales, Quiet Company, Florence + The Machine, Two Door Cinema Club, Vampire Weekend, Iron & Wine, The National, U2, Blind Pilot, Keane, Andrew Bird, Editors, Damien Rice, Ray LaMontagne, Phoenix, Glen Hansard, Fleet Foxes, The Shins, Jeff Buckley, Radiohead, The xx, Feist, Broken Bells, The Temper Trap, Spoon, The Sundays, The Black Keys, English Chamber Orchestra, Imogen Heap, Regina Spektor, The Cure.

Song of the Day- Plasticities- Andrew Bird
this isn’t your song
this isn’t your music
how can they be wrong
when by committee they choose it all?
they choose it all
chin chin
chin chin
you’re gonna grow old
you’re gonna grow cold
bearing signs on the avenue
for your own personal Waterloo
you’re bearing signs on the avenue
for your own personal Waterloo now
we’ll fight, we’ll fight
we’ll fight for your music halls
and dying cities
they’ll fight, they’ll fight
for your neural walls
and plasticities
and precious territory
this isn’t our song
this isn’t even a musical
I think life is too long
to be a whale in a cubicle
nails under your cuticle
chin chin
chin chin
you’re gonna grow old
you’re gonna grow so cold
before this song can deliver you
you’re bearing signs on the avenue
you’re bearing signs
for your own personal Waterloo now
we’ll fight, we’ll fight
we’ll fight for your music halls
and dying cities
they’ll fight, they’ll fight
for your neural walls
and plasticities
and precious territory
Song of the Day- Fiery Crash- Andrew Bird
I love his lyrics, his use of strings, and of course, his whistling. Just don’t listen to this song during air travel.
Song of the Day- Plasticities- Andrew Bird
I love Andrew Bird’s use of instruments, words and whistling. He’s utterly unique and immensely enjoyable! Check him out if you haven’t yet!
Armchairs - Andrew Bird
Andrew Bird is a master of composing beautiful pieces of music that have this gentle fluidity. His songs always put me in a melancholic mood as time always becomes a blur, everything goes down to a level playing field, where all linearity is gone and everything becomes a crucial variable once again.
“Time’s a crooked bow.”
