I’ve written about my love and appreciation for all types of music in a few previous entries. One of the great things about NY is the music scene here…and even more, the greatest venue (hands down) is the Bowery Ballroom.
Anyway, I remember reading an interesting article a while ago which asked random musicians who they thought had the best names for a group/band/artist. Personally, one of my favorite names for a band/group/artist is – “The Soundtrack Of Our Lives.”
To that point and fittingly, I thought I’d share the current playlist I’ve been been listening to since being back and walking the sidewalks + riding the trains in Brooklyn and NYC…
