I recommend the F line at 14th St weekdays in the afternoon. The drummer is great, but if you ride often you will have seen the trio of younger dreads on the F and A lines who absolutely rule. And if you are a singer with a guitar they'll jam with you no prob.
Horrible. New York City is the epitome of the social division of classes. You get rich, NYU students living lovely in their SoHo apartments and eating at fancy restaurants, while some homeless guy is laying out on the streets.
Jessica, you have a bijillion fans! Just for bein yourself and letting the world hear your talent. My mama always said talented people don't have the right to keep it to themselves. Thanks a million for letting us in!
Awesome. Makes a much welcome change from the countless videos of fights and arguments on NYC subways that I've been watching on YouTube for the past hour. Nice to know the human race can co-exist within confined spaces without wanting to tear each other's faces off.
oh this is recent? I didnt check, i thought that was uploaded like two years ago! That is awesome! I love this, and this really paints a great picture of New York City.
JESSICA IS PLAYING TONITE AT CAKESHOP IN NYC! SATURDAY JANUARY 28th: 4th: JESSICA LATSHAW [ukelele/subway youtube phenom] 3rd: THE BISCHOFFS 2nd: PHOEBE KRUETZ 1st: DOGBOWL $8, 7pm-10pm doors 21+, please bring your ID 152 LUDLOW STREET between RIVINGTON and STANTON NYC 10002
@hithac hey--so kind of you to say. if you go to my blog (thislifeinwriting(dot)com) and search 'ain't my friend,' you'll find the lyrics. Also, you can go to my youtube channel and I posted the lyrics in the description of the video titled 'ain't my friend.' Come back to NYC when you can--the city misses you, too:)
@forward300 way to get into the loving spirit! I liked the song so i Googled it. Outside of Ringo Starr, I don't know the name of the drummer for any band I like. Do you? I'm more of an anti-drummist than a racist. If think it would be nice if the drummer got props too. Maybe you should hunt him down yourself and give him props. Wouldn't that feel better than dissing strangers on YouTube?
@dannykauf haha sorry man youre right i probably should do that instead of leaving negative comments and talking shit but trolling is just o so much fun!! trololololol jajajajjaa
This is an example of YouTube at its finest. The whole thing is amazing. The singer, the drummer, the song, the audience, the whole thing. And I wanna say, the moment probably wouldn't be the same without that self-nominated M.C.!!! He draws us in! He's all over this moment with enthusiasm. He makes her laugh at the sad part! He even conducts the videographer! ("And cut, papparazzi!") Just great. The whole thing.
Nominate Jessica Latshaw for The Ellen DeGeneres show! One million hits in a week, go Jessica!!!! Just go to theellenshow, it takes 2 minutes to send an email!
Here's to supporting REAL musicians with REAL talent (No autotune here!)
Damn that was really good. She must have courage to just start preforming like that not knowing if people even like that kind of music but it was amazing.
hehehehe ... Jessica over a million hits ! WOW ! :) just shows you how wonderfull your songs and smile make people respond .. you are gonna do great ! :) this video STILL makes me smile !
She has such a great vioce. They both played beautifully together and the smiles that they put on the peoples faces on the train and the ones who watched the video on the internet is just as powerful. Thank you for sharing.

Awesome. Ive lived in nyc all my life, these are just the awesome things that happen to us everyday. I was listening to Elvis Duran and the morning show, TJ, one of the hosts, interviewed Jessica. you can hear it on their website, under TJ's podcast.
@bleakAntiquity Haha sorry, i make it sound bad. To be honest you don't experience it personally, we just hear about it in the news and it sickens us just as much as anyone else. I'm in the midlands, Coventry. Nice city, but yeah visit the uk ='] you'll like it.
This is an awesome uplanned moment! The drummer is so talented as well as the lady singer and musician. I want more sounds from the drummer!!! I love it!!
i'd like to see this go viral world-wide as an accurate representation of the U.S. -- let the world know that Americans are peace loving, music loving, non-violent, non-racist, intelligent, beautiful people and... WE GET ALONG ON THE SUBWAY!!!
Hi Matt, I think u should do some more NYC documenting - have u thought of it? Also - could you add the following tags: "quoom" + "drums" (many people search like that, if they don't know the real instrument name) + "ain't my friend" ? Please, it would be so kind of you, I don't think this would've taken off in the same way if Quoom hadn't been part of it - so he deserves credit too, despite the song being Jessica's (+ believe me, I am a serious fan of hers now). Thanks so much from France!
this is an awesome song! I want to be able to hear the lyrics a little better cause it's a freakin' catchy number. she has an awesome voice and the bongo player is super sweet. this is great.
That is sooooooo great! I've watched this about a dozen times now. It's uplifting every time. Toronto's a great city but, New Yorkers are much friendlier.
Me and my mom know this girl shes very talented and this was an amazing opportunity and a beautiful thing .. Hopefully she will become famous or be an underground artist :)
