I was thinking about my Capitol Hill soundtrack and thought it would be fun to put together a collective playlist -- one that only includes songs with specific references to Capitol Hill, or albums or artists with close ties to the hill.
1) The most obvious one is Sir Mix-A-Lot's "Posse on Broadway," which was also covered on the new Diplo/Santogold album.
2) Any song from Modest Mouse's "Lonesome Crowded West." The inside cover art includes a photo of an apartment building near Republican and Belmont.
What else?
