So ready. I know what I’m buying Friday.

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.

R.E.M. - So. Central Rain (Austin City Limits 2008)
One of my favorites
ACL Countdown Song of the Day- MK Ultra- Muse
Saturday night headliners.
ACL Countdown Song of the Day- Heart Skipped a Beat- Xx (or however you write it).
ACL Countdown Song of the Day- Trouble Comes Running- Spoon
So, as previously stated, this year’s ACL would just about be my dream festival (with a few very notable exceptions). The fest kicks off next Friday, so I thought I’d do a little countdown of the bands I’d love to see. Spoon is an Austin band and their newish album, Transference, is pretty darn good. Check it out.
Coldplay Saturday Song of the Day- In the Sun (feat. Michael Stipe)
From the 2005 appearance on Austin City Limits with the always fabulous Mr. Michael Stipe. I was lucky enough to see Coldplay headline ACL that year (my first time seeing them live) and it was amazing. I love this little collaboration.
