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.

4 Things I Learned at ACL Today (Sunday edition)

  1. Arriving there before 1 pm allows you to breeze on in.  Nice.
  2. Eating a sketchy chipotle chicken wrap from a fest vendor minutes before boarding the shuttle home is a bad idea.  A very bad idea.  ugh.
  3. The guys (and gal) from Blind Pilot are very chatty and nice and will take a picture with you if you ask them to.
  4. Band of Horses immediately followed by The National is a wonderfully lethal combination.

4 Things I Learned at ACL Today (Saturday edition)

  1. I need a hat for tomorrow.
  2. Sweet Leaf Lemon Iced Tea is extra yummy when you’re extra parched.
  3. Two Door Cinema Club are my new band crush.  So good.
  4. Nothing gets a crowd going like a little Uprising.  Muse killed it.
