Videos of the Week: Ryan Adams' "New York, New York" and Madonna's "I Love New York"
I know, I know, you don't have to say it: this New York obsession part honeymoon of mine is getting to the point that even I am gonna barf at how sickly and eye-rolling annoying is getting. It's all I can seem to talk about! It's even worse because I used to make fun of people like this! But you don't understand, once you are here the city takes over you and you can't help but love everything about it. It is obsessive.
I still am gonna barf if I don't dial it down a bit though.
But before we get to that, I couldn't decided about which of these two songs to post. Mind you, I was looking for a song that talked about how one's love for New York derives specifically from the cold fall/winter weather but apparently I'm the only person in the whole city who actually loves the cold. Everybody else gives me dirty looks when I talk about how awesome it is outside right now; some bartender didn't even want to serve me my drink! Fuck them, I love the freezing temperatures we are having right now and to think that it is only the beginning....... my heart gets all fuzzy and warm just thinking about it :)
Anyhow, enjoy Ryan Adam's folky, understated love letter and Madonna's electro-punk ode to the city of my cylon, metal-heart.
