Ann Arbour Rocks It
It’s Ann Arbour - the Florida-based “alternative/emo” band, of course. With song titles like “Faceless” and “Breaking Me,” they do their namesake justice.

Speaking of emo shit, there is actually some emo band with a song called “Anne Arbour” or something… the whiny/heart-rending chorus is like “Last summmer… Anne Arbour… is all I had.” Poor kid… he needs a blanky.

“I’m just trying to be a guy / who’s hailing from Ann Arbor / I’m a jerk”
– Frank Black, “Ten Percenter”

There’s a song in the credits to Fight Club called “Girl From Ypsilanti”. It doesn’t show up in any AMGish databases though….
