This Just In: Brooklyn Has A Lot of Bands Who Are Stylish

Hey guys! I didn't know this, but apparently there are a lot of people making music in Brooklyn these days. I know this because I read it in this little newspaper called "The New York Times." It's a really cool paper! You should check it out! They do articles on Iraq and stuff sometimes. Anyway, apparently there are so many "bands" that it's practically a "scene." How awesome is that? Maybe we can go sometime? And apparently these people who play music are also into fashion, so we should dress like them so we can blend in. "The New York Times" had this article that gave me some ideas on how we can do this. I'm stoked because apparently there is this style called "Williamsburg prep" and it doesn't sound too different from mine. Maybe I can bust out my Tommy Hilfiger rugby from 7th grade? Do you think that will work? We have to be careful, though, because I guess Brooklyn is also full of these people called "haters," who will, like, crap all over you because really only one member of Vampire Weekend lives in Brooklyn. I haven't come to a conclusion on whether or not that makes them "Brooklyn" or not. I'm just trying to get my look together first. Things are hard enough.

(P.S. - Snagged from stereogum.com! And on a less, um, sarcastic note, I'm both dismayed and psyched that they left off my most beloved Brooklyn band. Dismayed because who doesn't want some recognition for the ones they love; psyched because at least the douchebag factor will be kept low the next time they play Bowery Ballroom or something.)
