Leave it to Heeb magazine to make me feel inadequate. I live in Brooklyn. I have black-frame glasses. I even was at last year’s Sonic Youth/Yeah Yeah Yeahs concert in McCarren Pool. And yet, for all this, I’ve heard of only a paltry 10 of the people featured in this year’s Heeb 100. Thanks a lot, Heeb.
