Lou Reed’s “New York” is probably the best musical homage to my favorite city, in my opinion. (and, no disrespect intended whatsoever, but Heroin is off of The Velvet Underground and Nico, not just The Doors soundtrack for future references you may make:)Something I love about Kevin Devine is that he has a distinct perspective of storytelling/lyricism performances that is unique? rare? distinctive? refreshing? redeeming? Love this podcast for the opportunity to hear his perspective. Dude is smart, talented, eloquent and lovely. Makes his music that much sweeter.
Thanks for offering this podcast(Now, go listen to “New York”)!

First off – Thank you so much for listening as well as the kind words Karen! We try our best to have “conversations” with our guests as opposed to your typical “interview” you might find elsewhere. Hopefully we’re doing an ok job. Your input is always accepted.
Kevin is an awesome dude and it’s always a pleasure speaking with him; he will always have an open forum for his opinion here as long as we’re around. While some of our crew has had the chance to meet him in person, I hope to do the same at some point.
I will check out Lou Reed’s “New York” based on your suggestion and while I’m aware that Heroin is on The Velvet Underground and Nico, my first listening experience was due to that Doors movie soundtrack back in 9th grade. I thought it would be funnier to mention that piece of crap movie than to actually give it the respect it probably deserves. Maybe I just came off sounding like a moron.
Oh well, it’s happened before. C’est la vie.
