Flowers, Watercolors, and 'Final Fantasy': An Interview with Jen Tracy
I recently had a chance to interview my favorite local artist: @JenTheTracy--after you check out the interview, you should absolutely check out her art! #geek #videogames
One of the things I love about having a website is the opportunities to interview people about the things they love. I’m very excited that for my first interview since relaunching the That Jersey Gamer banner is with a local artist from New Jersey that I respect and am a huge fan of. I have about eight framed paintings that hang up on my wall, and every one of them is by Jen Tracy.
I reached out…

When our friends in Morning... announced that their full-length album will be titled Breakfast Forever, we couldn't help but nod in agreement with how well the title works with the band. Since the album's release in October of 2011, I've found it to be the only thing that remains static on my MP3 player.
What I can appreciate about Morning... is how their sound is constantly evolving and changing and one can even hear that on the songs that reside on the same release. For example, the band has some light sounding tunes on Breakfast Forever, such as the newly renovated, "Anywhere (Swell Version)" paired with tracks such as the upbeat and catchy "Eastern Lean," "Aquarium Living," and "Nosebleed." The band toyed with putting some instrumental jams on the disc, which didn't come as such a surprise to me. In fact, Breakfast Forever opens up with an instrumental piece titled "Dr. Nightmare." Much like the album in its entirety, "Dr. Nightmare" is mellow but when the track explodes, it is one hell of a release.
The band revived two crowd favorites in particular, one of these numbers has never been released on an EP and the other one graced the track-listing of the band's Dream It Out, Dream It Out. At most of Morning...'s shows there is always someone who request "Red Room." After some time, the band finally recorded the dancey jam and released it. Along with the veteran track, the band's infamous love song, "Anywhere" was revamped and now features a much sweeter feel, which does make it a swell version of the ballad. By far one of the diverse sounding cuts on Breakfast Forever is "You Can Act Like A Man," which takes the band's signature sound and throws a Modest Mouse spin on it. If you're not craving a shot of whiskey by the end of this song then there is a problem.
For all intents and purposes, Breakfast Forever is a collection of songs that although different in nature, works for the band. I'm pretty excited to see what the guys of Morning... are going to come up with next and where their sound will go in the future.
