Photos (for Impose): CMJ Day 2
Oh my goodness. Now that I’ve just gotten home from day 3 of CMJ, day 2 seems like ages ago. I can hardly remember what happened. Actually, there was some pretty good stuff, and you can check out my visual record of it over at Impose right here. I started the day off at Chocolate [...]

Recommended Thursday Show: CMJ Day #3
At least CMJ Thursday is pretty straight-forward during the day. It’s the I Guess I’m Floating (one of my very favorite blogs) Pianos day party. It’s pretty much wall-to-wall worthwhile bands including Baths, Beach Fossils, Oberhofer, Teen Daze, Young Man, Braids, and Gobble Gobble. The nighttime gets much more complicated. Of course, part of this [...]

Recommended Wednesday Show: CMJ Day #2
1AM and I just stepped in for the first time since 10AM this morning. These festival thingys are pretty exhausting. Luckily for most everyone, tomorrow has a lot of good shows, but only a few real standouts. I definitely recommend picking somewhere and staying put, at least as the nighttime is concerned. If you’re lucky [...]

Recommended Tuesday Show: CMJ Day #1
Welcome to day number one of CMJ. There’s obviously a lot of music going on this week, and if you do a bit of planning ahead, it will be quite good. While I feel that the quality of this year’s bands is a little bit thinner than in year’s past (more due to lack of [...]

My Favorite 50 Songs of 2009: 20-11
To recap: As for My Favorite 50 Songs of 2009, I made a few rules for myself. First, a band can only appear once. Also, this is purely about singles I enjoy. For instance, I would never put Harlem Shakes’ Technicolor Health on my favorite albums list, but “Sunlight” made it pretty high on this list [...]
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, [...]

Hot New Artist: Dent May & His Magnificent Ukulele
I first heard of/saw Dent May back in October during CMJ. It was during the Paw Tracks (Animal Collective’s label) showcase at Le Poisson Rouge. By the time Dent May came on I had listened to about four band’s worth of experimental, nosiy static, and was starting to lose steam quickly. All of a [...]
