Recommended Friday Show: King Khan & BBQ Show and Dum Dum Girls at Bowery Ballroom
OooOOooOOO! It’s mischief night! The perfect night for the stage antics of King Khan & BBQ Show. If you’ve never experienced any kind of King Khan show before, it’s definitely exactly that, an experience. He has some pretty ridiculous stage antics and a huge personality. Plus, King Khan combined with Mark Sultan aka BBQ makes [...]
Recommended Thursday Show: Karl Blau and LAKE at Ash's Place
Karl Blau’s music is all over the place. Sometimes it just sort of sounds like free-form indie rock, and sometimes it borders on 70s lounge music. Somehow, he pulls it all together for a very cool result. I definitely think checking out his show would be a cool experience. LAKE is a band that I [...]

Great New Band: Smith Westerns
(photo by Rev Avissar for Pitchfork) I was well-aware of the Smith Westerns before CMJ and had posted at least one mp3 for you guys before. Pretty much everyone has blogged about them by now. I enjoyed their performance at Pianos at CMJ so much that I’ve spent all day revisiting their self-titled album. It’s [...]
Recommended Monday Show: Surfer Blood, Small Black, and The Sundelles at Death By Audio
First things first. CMJ 09 is over, and NYRM has a new look! Well, maybe not a new look exactly, but I do have a new header. It’s designed by the wonderful and talented Meredith Leich, who writes the blog Auratic Outmoded, which you can check out by clicking on the link just to your [...]
CMJ: Recommended Saturday Shows
I took last night off. I fell asleep in front the newest It’s Always Sunny at 10, awoke two hours later to zombie-walk into my bed, and just woke up again a few minutes ago. This CMJ business is a lot more tiring than I remember it being. I hope everyone rested up for today, [...]

CMJ: Friday's Recommended Day Party
This afternoon is BreakThru Radio’s CMJ day party at Trash Bar. The line up is really, really great. Generationals, Holiday Shores, The Loom, and Jumbling Towers are all bands on the top of my CMJ list. Hope to see you there at 2 today!

CMJ: Thursday Night's Recommended Shows
Thursday night there’s not really one place with a line-up of truly stand out bands that I’ve never seen before. It’s probably going to be the running around from place to place the entire night. Still, the Delancey has a pretty great lineup if you’re feeling kind of tired. Male Bonding, Bear Hands, Delorean, The [...]

CMJ: Thursday's Recommended Day Party
For tomorrow’s day party, it’s time to move on into Brooklyn. NYC Taper is throwing a wonderful showcase at Bruar Falls. I like this group of bands a lot because none of them are really very flashy or buzzy or play Todd P venues or are necessarily very hip, that sort of thing. But they’re [...]
CMJ: Wednesday Night's Recommended Shows
I have two picks for tomorrow night, and I’d suggest somehow running around between the two of them to optimize your band-age (though they are kind of far apart). By the way, these shows are only free if you have a badge. First, Fool’s Gold, Suckers, and New Villager at Bowery Poetry Club. Fool’s Gold [...]

CMJ: Wednesday's Recommended Day Party
I am TIRED so this is going to be brief (woohoo 2:27am on a Wednesday!). If you are funemployed, you should spend your day tomorrow at Pianos. Not only can you take advantage of their amazing happy hour dinner and drink specials, but you can watch These United States, Real Estate, Grooms, and Surfer Blood [...]
