Comment:

Now more than ever, Brooklyn's the place to be for musicians — if they're not [i]from[/i] New York's most populous borough, they [i]journey[/i] there — but it's always been a place for keeping things close to the bone. Every beat on the street is welcome, as long as it comes from the heart. Over the years, that's been the way the world was introduced to everything from the soul-slathered folk of Richie Havens to the jazz-schooled hip-hop of Gang Starr and the geeks-gone-wild pop of the hardest-quirking-band-in-show-business, They Might Be Giants. We've gone on a sonic expedition across Coney Island, Bed-Stuy, and beyond, to bring you the biggest, the boldest, the [i]best[/i] of the artists who have called Brooklyn their home. And you don't even have to wait around for the F train.
