The Rebel Black Dot Municipal Song of the Day
L.C.D. Soundsystem, "New York, I Love You But You're Bringing Me Down" via iTunes (Michael P.)

Commentary: Recommended to me by Mrs. Skeeter, Esq., who was a New Yorker at heart even whilst still a resident Michigander. There are innumerable good songs about old New Amsterdam, including They Might Be Giants' "New York City" & Reel Big Fish's cover of "New York, New York" (& even more innumerable mediocre songs like Billy Joel's "New York State of Mind"), but none of the others are as solely concerned with the City That Never Sleeps as "New York, I Love You But You're Bringing Me Down."
