New York Compilation
« on: 08 Jul 2007, 12:12 »
I've got a friend who's turning 18 soon, and I thought I would make him a compilation of music from New York City.

Any ideas?

He's a Rock kinda guy

I've got:

Ramones
Talking Heads
The Slackers
The Velvet Underground

There are loads of good things from New York.

The Hold Steady are currently based in Brooklyn, but that might be cheating as they're originally from Minnesota.  Texas is the Reason, Gorilla Biscuits, Saetia, Reagan Youth, The Slackers, Jets to Brazil, Gogol Bordello, Beastie Boys, Wu-Tang Clan(?), The World/Inferno Friendship Society, King Django... yeah, that's all I got.

Oh, and I'd also suggest including "New York State of Mind" by Billy Joel.  Post the mix when you're done!

LCD Soundsystem is mostly based in New York, even if Murphy was originally from Jersey. Also, you can use the song "New York I Love You" if you're looking for a slow track.

But then again, I think LCD Soundsystem should be in every mix.

No matches have been played since February 2007, however, when an elephant, protesting a bad call by the referee, went on a rampage during a game, injuring two players and destroying the Spanish team's minibus

How about They Might Be Giants?  And if you want a double dose of Gotham goodness, go for their song "New York City."
