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.

Cases like the Troy Davis case are precisely why I am against the death penalty.
Edit: Sorry, I went from very light-hearted content to something very heavy. I don’t intend to become political here, and this is by no means a black & white issue for me. I just happened to be watching tv when this story came up, and then I saw this tweet, and I couldn’t not reblog it. View Larger

Matthew Bellamy and Julian Casablancas playing ping pong

What a strange, surreal life rock stars lead.

“Okay ‘I Can’t Win’…opposite of Charlie Sheen”- Julian Casablancas @ msg

gonna take a tiny little break from Coldplay ‘cause I just found all this awesomeness from the Strokes at MSG last night. 

I swear, the more I hear of these guys (both musically and in interviews), the more I love them.

The always cool Julian Casablancas, of the epically cool Strokes.  From ACL.  Glad awesome pictures like this exist.  I didn’t actually get to see the stage at all.  Watched the whole performance on the big screen from deep in the crowd.  View Larger
