City Sounds

As Governor Patterson proposes a tax on downloadable music, I find myself thinking  of the unique sounds of New York. The presence of music in all of our lives, pieced together snippets from buskers, passing car stereos and random city noises, is something which I have always enjoyed about NYC. 

Explore the sounds of the Lower East Side with Folksongs for the Five Points. This is one of the more interesting interactive websites I've come across recently.
