New York, New York - November 2006

Back

About a year ago I read the book Please Kill Me by Legs McNeil and Gillian McCain. A couple months after reading the book I met someone in my neighborhood who knows Gillian so I now have an autographed copy. I know someone who knows somebody famous.

One of the kids at the office read the book but hadn't heard most of the music. I thought I would publish a sampling of the artists mentioned in the book as a educational reference for the kids. Everyone should know who Dee Dee was!

It's not all strictly New York because I've included some Iggy Pop and MC5, both of whom are based out of Detroit. Maybe the play list should be called be called Detroit - New York to mirror the influence of Detroit on the New York scene, but that doesn't sound right so I've deferred to that famous tune sung by Frank Sinatra.
