I grew up listening to my parents music – The Beatles, Harry Chapin, Cat Stevens, Judy Collins. I never recognized the rock posters on my friends’ walls. I rarely listened to the radio. Things changed, however, when I moved to Los Angeles as an adult. This city is the birthplace of so many bands, or at least the place they come for their christening party. I end up having an opportunity to discover new music all the time.
I’m still most drawn to harmonic melodies and lyrics that tell a story, however. What would you expect from a girl whose favorite song in highschool was Tangled Up Puppet?
So, in addition to my new-found love for Angus and Julia Stone, I must declare my obsession over Spain. While the country is very cool, too, I’m actually talking about the BAND.
In particular, I simply CAN NOT STOP playing I’m Still Free.
Isn’t it just BRILLIANT?!

/ June 5, 2010Jenn: Me too, me too, me too!! I’ve literally dated a couple men simply for their voices. I don’t recommend that being one’s only criteria, btw, but I did it. I’ve since (hopefully) learned my lesson…
