Curve Away

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.

Snow Patrol Sunday Song of the Day- In the End

Trying this again… apparently the version of In the End on Spotify is “not currently available in the US”. interesting. Anyway, here’s In the End, my favorite from Fallen Empires.

In the End - Snow Patrol Live at Stubb’s Austin, 05/17/12

This is the one and only song I recorded in its entirety, and I’m so glad I decided to film this one, because mid-way through the song, Gary hopped off stage to sing to the front row. He ended up just a couple of rabid fans away from me. So fun and he was RIGHT.THERE. I somehow managed to keep taping throughout.

and no, I didn’t get to grab his hand… he was just out of reach for me.

Snow Patrol - In The End (Dressing Room Session)

look at what they can do in a backstage dressing room, never mind a studio! beautiful.

It appears that my SP song of the Day post yesterday, Brave, isn’t working properly. So here’s this instead. I really love this version.

There’s nothing more to life than love, is there?

Snow Patrol- In the End

I love this video. And I’m loving the song more because of it, I think. I particularly like the dancing sequences; they’re really beautifully done.
