Uglyana Jones

2013 was a year of great transition for me.  I took a big risk and stepped out of a situation where I had been dependent upon others to care for me directly into a situation where someone was dependent upon me for care.  It was terrifying and difficult in ways I didn't expect.  But taking on this challenge has allowed me to finally begin to discover parts of myself I had lost or forgotten and build myself into someone I can almost recognize.

The two songs I've chosen for 2013 both reflect this journey, the almost euphoric relief of waking from a nightmare while the affect slowly dissolves.

1.  Wild Creatures from Neko Case's 2013 album 'The Worse Things Get, The Harder I Fight, The Harder I Fight, The More I Love You'

Neko Case - Wild Creatures



2.  Girl Called Alex from Kurt Vile's 2013 album 'Walkin on a Pretty Daze'

I DJ at the Velvet Tuesdays 3 pm to 5 pm SLT and specialize in conceptual sets.

  1. Excellent choices, Jonesy! That Kurt Vile song is so haunting and addictive, another fine album from this indie god in our midst. And Neko is always gorgeous
