Line Out - Comments on New York's Soundtrack http://lineout.thestranger.com/2007/09/new_yorks_soundtrack I'm currently on vacation in New York City. It's the first time I've been here, and it's completely amazing. Because a friend of mine is here on business, I'm able to stay in a fancypants hotel room on her company...

"in the air tonight": certainly ominous in NYC on sept 10. but if you havent heard, its actually a gorilla thats playing drums on the track.

Maybe you should stay in New York. It's made you seem at least 22.

Christ, I've heard more of that shit in the last month than I did in '83.

There's a hidden burger place at the Meridien fairly nearby (people walk in NYC) that you should check out for lunch. The Soup Nazi's place is closer if it's ever open anymore.

Hit up Burger Joint in the Parker Meridien on 56th (just west of 6th). Enter the lobby. Head straight back toward the rear desk. Turn left down the skinny hall. Follow the neon burger. The burger is insanely good. But do not order like an ass. Trust me - have it ready. Prepare while you're in line.

Brian, you don't need to call bullshit on everything. Phil Collins has made some good music and there are people who genuinely like his work. No irony. That "hipster irony" shit is a comfortable, conveneint dismissal for people who can't or won't embrace something for what it is.

Don't worry, you're still as cool or as anti-cool as you feel the need to be, Phil Collins or no.
