NY Magazine: How Brooklyn Became America’s Music Capital

20091116_sonicboom_cover
NY Magazine's cover story about how Brooklyn became America's music capital.

The borough of Kings has produced the most fertile music environment
seen in New York since CBGB in the seventies, and the scene’s newest
hero is David Longstreth of Dirty Projectors: a Wagner-loving
taskmaster not afraid to mix strains of folk, hip-hop, classical, jazz,
and African pop.
