On my last visit I was assured by an industry insider that overall music business was migrating to NYC from LA and that the bi-coastal system for the industy was on it's way out.
Gawd, I hope this is true. Here's to you LA! fuuck

Kidding, kidding.

1. I just saw Satanicide at the Mercury Lounge so I will have to say NY. Plus, I played the Monarch and the 100 Club a couple of years back and it pretty much sucked.

2. Couldn't care less.

3. I love museums and both cities are loaded with excellent ones.

4. Pass.

Best thing about England is the pub. It's like a little community in and of itself. I worked on a record in London last year and it was pretty much get to the studio in the morning, work until 7 or 8, get to the pub (same one every night, same staff, same clientele) , pub closes at 10, get back to the studio and try to work but mostly end up cutting up with the assistants and the band drinking and smoking 'til late. Everyone at the pub knows everyone at the studio and vice versa. All I get when I'm working at studios in NYC is takeout, the food is better but it's not as much fun.
