When it comes to newspapers and magazines, we read all of 'em. So it took us a minute to catch up to NY Press's attempt to one-up New York Magazine's crappy 40-song playlist that intended to define Brooklyn circa 2006-now, or something.
Anyway, the Press list is informed enough to not read like a 45-year old editor randomly arranging Hype Machine search results. Pasted below is the NY Press' top ten songs that define Brooklyn right now. Go here for the full list.
01 “Coward Cracks the Dawn” by Shilpa Ray and Her Happy Hookers
02 “Ecstatic Rite” by Liturgy
03 “Open Shut” by Blank Dogs
04 “Don't Pass On Me” by Woods

06 “I Hate New York” by Thorns of Life
