Your AM JAMZ

Thursday, March 18, 2010

We want to know what's going on inside those earbuds during your morning commute. Readers from Brooklyn to White Plains to San Francisco have already weighed in.

• Pat Hipp commutes from Park Slope to Canal Street. On the walk to the F train, Hipp listed to "Bastards Of Young" by The Replacements and "Some Weird Sin" by Iggy Pop. On the train, the playlist jumped to "Spectacular Views" by Rilo Kiley and then to Wilco's "Company in my Back."

Alex R. travels from White Plains to Williamsburg. His playlist included tracks by Hercules & Love Affair, Smoking Popes, Antony & the Johnsons and The Virgins.

Tobias Carroll crosses the Newtown Creek via the Pulaski Bridge to end up in Long Island City. Along the way, Carroll's got Frightened Rabbit and F**k Buttons on.

Eventually, we'll use your picks to concoct playlists for specific commutes. For now, check out our Featured Playlist by New Yorker music critic Sasha Frere-Jones
