Rec'd on 🌱 6/9: A MOVIE THAT DEFINED A PART OF WHO YOU ARE?

I’ve only ever visited NY never lived there, but watching this countless times in my adolescence plus being a fan of The Strokes, Vampire Weekend, and bands alike has turned me into a big NY GLAZER. What can I say; I love y‘all city!!

ALL THE PRETTY GIRLS GO TO THE CITY BY SPOON

I was listening to this song the first time I visited New York City. My roommate and I had met some people online - a gay couple about 20 years our senior - and asked if we could stay with them for a week. They accepted and they gave us a key while they were spending a few days in Fire Island. So much trust between strangers. We just came and went as we pleased from their Astoria home. While we were there, we met up with a friend of ours, Karen, who was working at Vimeo for the summer at an apartment with a bunch of Vimeo staff. Karen and I held hands under a blanket while we all watched Rushmore. Karen introduced me to some great bands, most notably The Microphones. I had a crush on Karen and Karen loved dinosaurs. While we were in NYC, we also bought dinner for Riese and Alex of Autostraddle. My roommate had wanted to interview them for an (unrealized) project. I held the camera while my roommate asked them questions. They were shrouded in darkness the entire interview, but I was too anxious to say anything. I have so many stories of that single trip to NYC — some good, some bad, all memorable.

New York City - Current joys

I listened to Current Joys' album "Wild Heart" a few months ago, but I didn't register or dissect many of the songs since I was focusing schoolwork. Recently, while listening to my Liked Songs on shuffle, "New York City" came on, and I was all over it. Perhaps I'm just biased, having plans to take a trip to New York this June, but this song hits in all the right places for a summer vacation-vibe. Current Joys' consistent nostalgic feel is naturally present in this song, like many of their others, though it's a much more upbeat track than what one would expect from them. For a Texas boy like me, "New York City" encapsulates everything I'm looking forward to in a trip to the big city; fear, memories, opportunities, and pure excitement.
