WHERE MUSIC LISTENS TO YOU

One more from the Kills

Posted about 1 year ago
I'm in Washington DC today, and I was in New York last week...if this keeps up I'm going to feel like a working woman again. But anyway, New York was pretty great, and I saw a bunch of friends, ran around the reservoir with my son, ate Chinese and Thai and chino latino, and did a surprising amount of work, given all that. But man, the city has changed big-time, scary big-time. Every time I go back another great dive is gone, another cheap place to eat leveled for those shiny condominium towers...Even the Lower East Side has a sheen of Disney polish on it now, and that's the last holdout. When it's gone, that's New York as I remember it. Poof. So anyway, I was thinking about all this from my shiny suburban hotel in Bethesda, MD (which looks never to have been anything other than a posh suburb, but I could be wrong), and up pops this song by the Kills from their very, very strong album Midnight Boom.So how could I resist?

  1. Anna says That's such a bummer about NYC. And I hadn't had the chance to visit it yet! Promise me that it won't look like a theme park when I do. You couldn't have picked a more appropriate song. And lady oh lady did The Kills nail it this time...

  4. jenny says Well, it is still the center of the universe, as far as I'm concerned, and one of the most interesting places anywhere to kill a few days...it's just a lot cleaner and more expensive than it used to be. If you go, DO NOT stay in one of those $400 a night box hotels in Times Square. In fact, don't even go to Times Square unless you have to to go to the theater or see Letterman or whatever. It's a shithole, even now...no idea why tourists always feel they have to go there.
