The only proof he needed for the existence of God was music. – Kurt Vonnegut

Religion aside, Jenn can’t help but subscribe to the above Vonnegut quote. Always an integral part of her life, some might say music is her raison d’être. Jenn made the move to DC after an exhilarating but exhausting four years of living in NYC—and while she’s been called “too edgy” for the District, she finds that the live music scene makes it tenable. Some of her favorite things include synthpop, steel drums, and capturing musical moments on instagram.
Born in Colombia, the now Baltimore-based bioengineer is an avid music enthusiast. Though English is not his first language (so pardon any technical issues), rest assured his aural palate is top notch! When he’s not seeking out new music, he’s most likely tinkering around with his own—check out his SoundCloud page at corbendalas.
Jon—grad student of GW and current resident of NY—originally hails from Ontario, Canada, hence his affinity for ketchup chips. He also plays guitar and violin in his spare time, and has a voracious appetite for new music. Fun fact: his dad was a real-life poet!

Great Vonnegut quote.
Isn’t it though?!
I love your blog, and your taste in music..very similar to mine 🙂 looking forward to more of your posts. Would be great if you checked out my blog xx
Thank you so much! Always nice befriending a fellow blogger with similar taste in music… I’ll be sure to check out yours as well!
Blog is awesome! Im trying to do something similar but trying to focus as much as possible on UK music only of the same type of variety you like to focus on – good luck, it all looks awesome so far 😀
Thanks! Yours is really nice too. And shhh, don’t tell anyone but UK music is my favorite ;D
Haha – I’ve always found Iceland and Sweden to be at the very best of electro style music though. Keep up the good stuff will be sure to follow and share your posts 🙂
True, true…
Nice quote up there! Thanks for dropping in on my blog. I got to discover yours as a result. From what I’ve seen, I’m going to enjoy coming in here often.
Aw thanks! I look forward to conversing over tunes with you : )
Likewise 🙂
Hey, thanks for visiting my blog. Yours sounds pretty cool. I am curious in particular about Tame Impala’s Jackson cover. 😉
Thanks – and likewise. That cover is a great!
I love your blog! Just letting you know. 🙂 You’re so far ahead of the curve on so many artists its astounding. Keep doing you, and thanks for visiting my blog as well. It’s great to know there’s an amazing community of music sharers out there!
Hi Kris, thank you so much for the nice comment! Glad you like the blog — yours is quite nice as well. It’s true that there’s a wonderful community of music seekers on the blogosphere.
I’m not sure if I ought to post this here but since I can’t find any other way to, I’ll go ahead 🙂 Please feel free to let me know if it’s not ok.
I thought you’d be interested in this one. “Stargaze” is by Don John Philip (DJP). He’s the producer and the guitarist on the record. He and Abraham Matthew sing on this. Ragged Skull aka Asif Akber is the rapper. He died recently but recorded this before he moved on. Rahul is on bass. I’m not in any way connected with this song. It came my way and I liked it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xvo4sjJpa9U
That’s interesting…you know I enjoy a good dance beat! How did you come across it? And I’m happy for you to share music across this platform, although it might be easier to reach out via twitter (@CokeCanPoetry) if you use that. This is fine though! Thanks for sharing 🙂
Super! Thanks 🙂 I will keep an eye out for the twitter account and share anything interesting that comes my way there. This one came about as a feed on my FB timeline because the bassist, Rahul used to play with a now defunct band called Palmfret that I was fond of and followed. That band’s music was quite different from this so it was interesting and nice to hear Rahul venture into something apart from that.
