New York State of Mind

A few friends of mine are heading to New York in the coming weeks (or are already in the city). So, in conjunction with their trips, the first half of this weeks program was dedicated to artists from New York and the varying sounds that came from the city that never sleeps. While I couldnt touch upon every major NYC artists, staples from the city like The Velvet Underground, Sonic Youth, and Wu-Tang Clan had to be represented, and represented they were.
