I was recording a podcast with Jay the other day and I missed a lot of cultural references from the 80s because, well, I don’t remember the 80s and I didn’t ever watch MTV.

At least the recession can sound good.
College buddies Ryan and Kyle, now The Bull & The Bear, have an album Recession Sessions and were recently featured on NPR. They do a lot of work benefiting charity, and you should check them out in a city near you!

Reason #857 why I love NYC
Me: What country is this music from? It's beautiful. Cab Driver: Oh, it's not music, it's the Koran. Me: Wow, really? On the radio? Cab Driver: Yes, it's New York! They have everything on the radio! Me: I guess so! It sounds so lovely anyway. Cab Driver: It's in Aramaic you know. It's been passed… Continue reading Reason #857 why I love NYC
