I'm Jess. This is a picture of me pretending to be a leopard. In reality, I am not a leopard, but I do like climbing trees. I love music, obviously, and enjoy being involved in Openingbands. I have tried to learn several instruments, to no avail. Currently I am trying to learn to play mandolin. I like to skateboard.
As far as music goes, I am willing to listen anything, but if I must choose a category that I most listen to, it would probably be 'indie rock'.
Here are some bands/artists I enjoy listening to: Alison Krauss and Union Station, Aveo, Better Than Ezra, Cake, Catch 22, Chopin, Cleanray, Cool Hand Luke, The Cure, The Eagles, Everclear, The Faint, Franz Ferdinand, Gin Blossoms, Godspeed You! Black Emperor, Green Mountain Grass, Iron and Wine, i:scintilla, The Killers, Lorenzo Goetz, Los Straitjackets, Modest Mouse, Mogwai, Motion City Soundtrack, Murder By Death, Mussorgsky, Nada Surf, New Order, Offspring, Pedro the Lion, The Pitch, Porcupine Tree, The Postal Service, Rossini, RX Bandits, Saint-Saens, Streetlight Manifesto, Terminus Victor, Travis, and more.
