Life in the big city isn't for everyone. Take me, for example. I spent the first seven years of my life living in high-rise apartment buildings. After that, it's been nothing but the 'burbs for me. That doesn't mean I don't enjoy doing fun stuff in the city. At any rate, I played songs about city life this week in hour 2 of Stuck In Thee Garage. Listen to it while you contemplate what the hell you're doing in a hotel in Tokyo.
