Here Is A Song About The Lack Of Magic Possessed By The Hamptons Jitney


If only the MTK Music Festival was still happening this weekend—this ode to the Hamptons Jitney by Nina Katchadourian would have made for a fine, if slightly existential-crisis-inducing, introduction to one of the ways people could have traveled to the East Hampton Airport. (Oh, and if you're recorder-averse, stick for the song's "punchline," as it were. It's actually almost worth the wait, even if it is spoiled in large part by the song's title!) [Via]

I believe I first uttered the line, "It's just a fucking bus" about 13–14 years ago, when the gal I was dating had me take the "Jitney" to her parents' Hamptons house. Weirdly, I feel a kind of nostalgia, not so much for the "Jitney" as for my contempt for it.
