Howdy folks. I got bored and decided to create a blog. Follow me here to read about music things I post. I have no idea what this will turn into, if anything at all, so get ready for chaos.

Alexxa with Two X’s?
Howdy folks. My name is Alexxa Booth and I am currently a senior at UT Austin majoring in Environmental Science. Although my major may be in science, I have a huge passion for music and decided to make a space where I can talk freely about my music related thoughts. I am pretty disorganized so don’t expect much, but I guess you can expect something.
