New York is a black hole for Democracy. As we speak, the New York City Council is voting to extend their own tenure as legislators.

What a show! This band is such a powerful unit of folk rock it’s unbelievable. Every member plays so tightly and when they change something, they change it on a dime. When Will Sheff performs his music, you get a great sense of love and ownership of the tunes. Every slow song was captivating and every other selection was played like it was the finale.

The concert strengthened The Stand-ins, solidified The Stage Names and Black Sheep Boy and intrigued me to get their earlier albums.

My major hobby since moving to Jersey City is cycling. I take at least 2 small weekday trips and one major weekend one each week. I usually end up on the Hudson waterfront, and I almost always stop to take in the view.

I only wear headphones/iPod occasionally. But I was thinking tonight about what would be good New-York-City-view-while-cycling music.

Any thoughts?
