loud music in my minivan

(skinnies: Old Navy, t-shirt: Walmart, sweater & scarf: thrifted, boots: Target, bracelets: Kohls)
I don’t know why that second picture got all orangey. I’m sure it has something to do with my superior photo-editing skills, but I could be mistaken.
Do people listen to the Kings of Leon anymore?
Asking for a friend.
If you would have told my 21-year-old self that I would, at 31 listen to very little hip and cool music, I would have laughed in your face. Also, I probably would have been drunk, but that’s beside the point.
It’s amazing what I listen to now: NPR, random Pandora stations when I remember to turn it on, and kids music. Occasionally, I’ll listen to current hip hop (is that what kids call it these days?) and crank it up loud in my minivan.
But later, I forget that I’ve turned it up loud when I get back into said minivan and the shock of the loud music when I turn the key normally scares the pee out of me.
Then I remember I’m not young, I have less bladder control than I used to, and I would much rather prefer silence to music these days.
This post has been full of little gems, hasn’t it?
I think I am done here.

    I used to go to shows & concerts all the time, lots of “undiscovered” indie bands & stuff like that… as well as all the big stadium shows… now the music in the car is for the kids, so it’s mostly all that new pop stuff… and yes, it seems so loud when I’m the only one in the car! Ha!
    psssst… check out today’s post, I may or may not have mentioned you! 😉

    I am totally the same way! Used to listen to the Pop music stations for what I wanted but now automatically turn on our local NPR station that plays the more indie rock that I have come to so much adore. At 21 I don’t think I had even heard of NPR (blame growing up in a Republican home for that one haha). And while I haven’t been listening to KOL on the reg like I used to when they first came out, they did come on the radio recently and I was reminded by how much I really do enjoy their music and sound!
