Music Monday: Subway Music

This week’s Music Monday takes a look at the music that is all around you on the NYC Subway system. Spontaneous group singing, performances and dancing on a moving train you wouldn’t believe.

What is Subway Music?  It’s music people tape on their phones in NYC subway system.  It’s pretty much everywhere, and some of it is actually pretty good.  The guy with the ukelele at the Lorimer stop? Not so much… lots of yell singing.  But there are others who rock, and some of them play the ukelele too.  So it’s not all bad.

No, this first one isn’t music, and yes, this is happening on a moving train.  Unreal.

This chick busts out uke, sings a bit, almost raps, and the guy on the bongos plays along seamlessly.  Do these people really not know each other?

Honestly, I never get tired of these guys…

This guy just has an awesome voice, and will jam out wherever:

Music Monday: 2013 Isn’t Done Yet!

Welcome back LAS! This year has been a pretty good one for music (especially hip-hop) but it's not quite over yet. Just when I started looking forward to some of next years releases, I ran into a project that slipped under my radar. Busta Rhymes and Q-Tip's of A Tribe Called Quest recently collaborated and dropped a mixtape titled The Abstract & The Dragon.
