Tales of the city ... New York. Photograph: Spencer Platt/Getty
So many songs about crying, so little space. Nice to see such overwhelming support for tracks as unusual as Tindersticks' Tiny Tears and the Mulholland Drive version of Crying rather than more obvious (albeit excellent) numbers by the Cure and Prince. What a discerning bunch you are.
Three days after the next column appears will be the fifth anniversary of 9/11. Tempting though it is to pick wrong-headed foreign policy or religious fanaticism as a theme, that might invite the attentions of those crazies over on Comment is Free, so the topic is New York, New York. You can have locations, streets, boroughs or the city as a whole. There are hundreds of them, and the only one we've had in a prior list is Dylan's Positively 4th Street. Help me pick 10.
Deadline for recommendations is midnight Sunday. The archive of previous columns is accessible here, and you can also see an A-Z of every single song that has appeared in the weekly playlists.
