I always thought St.Vincent was from Dallas. I took this from Stereogum, by the way. So here is the real question.. does Brookyln really have the best music scene? There are a lot of areas in the world that have great music scenes, including Toronto and Montreal. Why does Brooklyn get all the hype? is it the bloggers? is it the hipsters?
