Part 2 of my conversation with special guest Mike Heyliger as we discuss the whole New York vs. Boston thing. I've also got the Bonehead of the Week and music from Torche, Brendan Benson, White Rabbits and Sun Kil Moon.

Show notes:

• Check out Mike's blog Popblerd

• It's all about efficiency

• NYC's got the advantage for things to do after 2 a.m.

• Everything closes up early in Boston

• Jay: Mid-week club shows are tough when you have kids

• Green Day's ready for Vegas

• Boston has a ton of great small rock clubs

• NYC has a better assortment of R&B and hip hop shows

• The undeniable greatness of The Roots

• Duran Duran's long and winding career

• Mike had the Duran Duran board game as a kid

• Mike: Rudy Giuliani cleaned up NYC in early '90s

• The Northeast has a certain intensity

• Boston's a good place to live

• Beer's a whole lot cheaper than in NYC bars

• Bonehead of the Week
