New York, New York

By Barin Darnew

Passing by the paper trail
Captured by cubes
Surrounded on all sides
On the rooftop, waiting for you
Benches in parks
Standing in subway cars

New York, New York
Different jobs
Pictures of stars
New York, New York

Walking, talking, playing with you
Always find a game
Perfect, in your face

New York, New York
Busy bells
Center street self
New York, New York
Who am I?
Nevermind...

Who is - or was - Barin Darnew? It is a question seldom asked. Interested parties, of which there are few, believe that Barin Darnew was either born, or somehow formed, somewhere on the East Coast of the USA, sometime in the late 1990s. There are rumors that he wrote hundreds of songs, performed with various bands in Boston, NYC, San Francisco, and Seattle, and was once signed to a small record label that refused to distribute his music. One critic hailed him as 'the next David Bowie', but paying audiences were not as enthusiastic. Cult followers might have appreciated his unique brand of 'pop music', but in 2008, Darnew mysteriously disappeared in the mountains of Southern Argentina, and was never heard from again. Conspiracy theorists maintain that he underwent plastic surgery, and has been masquerading as an academic, but no one knows for sure. The tracks uploaded here were apparently discovered on the frozen hard drives of a downed Soviet spy satellite, the Novy Mir. Their date of production is unknown.
