jadesfireI'm on a bit of a creative tear at the moment, which I think is due to the imminent arrival of new students, and my own awareness of Autumn creeping in. It's like I have to get it all out of my system before I run out of energy and time.
So. More podfic below! But before that, O Wise and Wonderful Friendslist, lend me your brains.
I'm looking for music/songs that make you think of New York. Not just songs with New York in the title - although the less-well-known ones of those are also welcome - but songs that, for you, catch a mood or atmosphere that just says 'New York'. The ones I've got so far are fairly obvious, so I'd like some that are less so.
So far I've got:
A bunch of Simon and Garfunkel (Wednesday Morning, 3 A.M., Bleeker Street, At The Zoo)
Goodnight New York by Vienna Teng
New York, New York by just about everyone - whose is the definitive version?
What else should I have on there?
I'll be honest, this isn't normally my sort of fic. At all. I tend not to read 'getting together' stories, just because I've read so many of them at this point. But this is a fun, original take on it. In general, if an author makes me laugh, I trust them at the other end of the emotional spectrum as well, because humour is so much harder.
And just to get egotistical for a second, I'm inordinately proud of the performance here - there's a range of stuff going on, and I think I was in exactly the right mood to catch it all. When it clicks, you can just feel it, and I'm chuffed to bits with how it came out.

Summary:
"What does that mean?" Matt asks Strange.
"Well, that depends," Strange says, unfolding his legs and letting his feet touch the floor again. Matt gets the distinct impression Strange is hedging. "Are you currently suffering heartbreak?"
Matt very carefully doesn't think about Elektra. Or Karen. Or Foggy. "Let's leave my personal life out of this."
Strange clears his throat. "Yes, well, that option may no longer be on the table."
Matt really hates magic.
