Jealous Girlfriends

Last night I saw Nada Surf, Delta Swift and The Jealous Girlfriends. They played at the Fineline... I would like to say, that I fell back in love with music last night. Since I have become a mother, so many things have been put on the back burner for me. My creativity: love of music, painting, photography. I stopped really taking time to induldge in the things that I love.

The Jealous Girlfriends have brought out that musical beast again... and I love it! I cannot get enough of YouTube, scouring for the those unfound treasures, like The Jealous Girlfriends. They brought to life apart of me that has been suffocated for so long!
When I was younger I could spend hours on end in record stores, writing fanzines, and overall being a music geek. I was the girl that was moved to tears, always in the back, just breathing in the music. I wasn't hardcore on the outside, but it was who I was. Slowly that fizzled until it became nothing. So I am welcoming that part of me back tonight. I think you will be seeing me at the Fineline, First Avenue and were ever else I can get my grubbly little paws into to rekindle the love that I once had for music.

Spencer D "If you could change anything about the music industry, what would it be?" Nada Surf's Matthew Caws "Eliminate everything but college radio, record stores and concert halls."

Perfect.
