I admit it: I’m in a New York state of mind. (Thank you, poet laureate Billy Joel.) Please enjoy this mix. It’s titled The Village & SoHo and it’s songs that remind me of the time I spent there. Some of them may not make any sense to you, but they make sense to me. I do hope you enjoy.

essays and how-to's about dating, relationships, living in Los Angeles, and how they all crash into each other, like the car chase scene in the mall in the Blues Brothers movie...which she hasn't seen, but is not at all opposed to.
I love soundtracks. They almost never make sense to anyone except the person putting them together, but once I meet someone who gets it, it’s fireworks! In my heart! My heart explodes!
The Books – “Take Time” and The High Highs – “Open Season” remind me of Brooklyn.
EXACTLY! xxo
Girl…this is absolutely perfect. I will listen to it on my commute tomorrow morning.
This makes me so happy!!
I work in Soho! And since I have a 100+ block commute on the subway perhaps I shall make this my morning playlist as well.
YAY!
Ok, so I don’t exactly love this song (though I maybe could if I gave it a chance…I said maybe) – but this track reminds me of where I live….because it was filmed where I live http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9PnOG67flRA – also, I adore that you started with Bowie! Uh-ma-zing!
What a great playlist…loving it right now, and putting me in a NY state of mind, as well. Love place specific playlists…..L.A. lends itself to that, so many evocative songs.
Thanks.
