hell yeah.
the scissors sisters are from NYC too..aren't they?
yeah they are. i am sure i've missed a lot of bands.
that's way too much musical talent and history for one single city.
damn, what a city.
clap your hands too are from NYC
and so are the walkmen
This is a most awesome urban myth, the Carnegie Hall one! :) 'Practice!' Strange but there was once this rich Count's wife who had a terrible voice but booked the entire Hall for her own show.
Oh! Folklore it definitely is. Not to be taken seriously at all.
This “practice” thing is attributed to Arthur Rubinstein. He was asked by someone
"Pardon me sir, but how do I get to Carnegie Hall?"
He said, "Practice, practice, practice."
Best post.
DV: all i did was list out bands from new york.
it's a different matter that no other city can boast of such talent.
