Kacey Musgraves is one of my new favorite artists. Her voice is so beautiful and her song lyrics are pretty brilliant.
I highly, highly recommend you check out the entire album, but Back on the Map is my personal fave.
Happy Spring. xx

1957 {Editing Soundtrack}

File under: absolutely obsessed & can’t stop listening to.
Listening to 1957 gives me a sense of longing. It also reminds me of how Austin feels (the vibe, the energy) in the beginning of Spring, or start of Fall (AKA when we have nice weather). This video is perfection. Especially the part where she stands out the sunroof in the car. Especially that part.

I am SO thankful for my hometown, the Live Music Capital of the World: Austin, Texas. So glad to be here, so glad to be an Austinite.
Here’s to living life to the fullest, every single day. <3
Happy Birthday, Robbie!

I’m pleased to announce my best friend (Christine) and her husband (Ryan) are the proud new parents of a little boy! Robbie came into the world today – a perfect 7 lbs, 10 oz! Happy birthday, baby Robbie! Congratulations, Christine & Ryan.
Robbie and his parents live far away. That said, I want to chronicle October 8th from the AUSTIN, TEXAS perspective. Just a few tidbits for me to remember this day vividly.
| October 7-8, 2012 | Austin, TX |
Robbie:
- On your birthday eve, I was making chili stew (with gluten free, hatch-chili cornbread!) and sipping wine when your mom let me know she was on the way to the hospital. At this point you were one week overdue. We were excited. Baby time!
- The next morning, I woke up wondering why I hadn’t received any news overnight. Turns out you liked taking your time.
- Greeted a beautiful fall day with highs in the 70s, lows in the 50s. A dream come true for us Texans!
- Exchanged text messages and phone calls with folks (Katie, Laura, Mom, Debra, Christine, Ryan, Matthew) awaiting the good news!
- Finally got an update from your Aunt Katie in NYC — you were born! 12:47pm ET. Healthy, happy, so cute.
- Checked the calendar – ACL (Austin City Limits Festival) is a mere 4 days away. Future music lover?
- Called Debra (your grandma!) on the phone. She and your grandpa are over the moon that you’re finally here.
- Finally heard from your mom and dad via text… they’re deliriously happy (we all are!)
- Final observations: from what I can tell so far, you look a lot like your dad but have your mom’s eyes.
Kid, it’s been a few hours and you’ve already made the world a better place. That’s gotta be some kind of record. Looking forward to meeting you and squeezing your little cheeks (not too hard, promise).
Love,
Katie
Robbie gets to meet his “Aunt Katie” (that’s me!) at Christmastime. I’ll definitely take photos in December. Until then, I dedicate this song to little Robbie Scott. I love you, baby! Welcome to life!

Anything Could Happen {Editing Soundtrack}

I am loving Ellie Goulding’s latest song: Anything Could Happen. It’s inspiring (as is Ellie). My personal takeaway from listening is that anything really can happen… usually you just have to be patient, and/or try your absolute hardest. For me, it’s been conquering my running program. I like to play this song at the end of a long, sweaty run. Victory is mine! 
This video is too cool. I love the incorporation of both fans and Instagram.
It goes without saying, this has definitely been part of my editing soundtrack as we leave summer behind and sloooowly make our way into glorious Fall.

Nobody’s Crying {Editing Soundtrack}

Last week I had a once in a lifetime opportunity to see the ACL Live taping of Bon Iver at Moody Theater. Thank you thank you thank you, Meredith, for taking me along!
The entire show was amazing but my favorite part was when the band covered Patty Griffin’s song “Nobody’s Crying.” It was beautiful and I’ve been listening to the vocal stylings of Ms. Griffin ever since.
But here’s Bon Iver’s version… I found this clip online and the videographer had a very similar view as mine (make sure to fast forward to 1:12 to avoid the shaky footage).
Enjoy — and Happy Friday.

A Hopeful Song {Editing Soundtrack}
Posted in Editing Soundtrack, Her Side Project, Music, Personal, tagged Australian, Gotye, KUT 90.5, Music, Save Me, Song, Wally De Backer on April 18, 2012 | Leave a Comment »
Definitely rocking this as my personal theme song right now. A commenter on Gotye’s YouTube page said it best:
“This song sounds like hope.“
Gotye {Save Me}
Fun fact: Gotye is actually pronounced “gor-tee-eh (or yay).” Since lead singer, Wally De Backer, is Australian, it’s pronounced with an “r” even though it’s spelled without one. Thanks for the tip, KUT!
Another fun fact: though the band’s radio hit “Somebody I Used to Know” is an awesome song, I can say this with 100% confidence: the rest of the album is so much better.

Happy Friday, friends! Hope you have a million and one fun things planned for the next few days before SXSW madness begins.
And now for my latest jam (sorry it’s not a video, but the song’s so good it doesn’t even need one):
Florence + The Machine {Hospital Beds}
I can’t wait to see her in concert. May can’t come soon enough!

While there may be a lot of controversy surrounding Lana Del Ray and her “true identity/manufactured persona,” I can’t help but love her and her music.
While very dark and pretty depressing, I also can’t get enough of this music video. Haunting, intriguing and well-done.
If in fact she is a product of marketing, her people certainly know what they’re doing. It’s working.
P.S. – love her makeup. Flawless, so beautiful.
