CMJ was fun although I really only got to see the Skewer/Planetary Group Showcase @Piano's on Friday afternoon which was overall good. Ludlow Street was gushing with people by the early evening and the LES was very much taken over by the usual friday night crowd and CMJ-badge-clad college radio station people and photogs/bloggers.
Missed, or rather, didn't think of going into the cake shop early enough to see Cut Off Your Hands and Takka Takka (who I REALLY wanted to see).
CMJ is weird though, seems like it's more for the people who run whatever music business is left- it's a big buffet of musicians being served on plates while college radio/journals/bloggers/record execs/managers fish around. weird
not to say this weekend was without excitement- not only did the Saturday BBQ CMJ party that was supposed to take place at The Yard get cancelled, but while on travel with the motley guys from Passion Pit there were some (serious) van problems. Oh and you have to love nyc in monsoon season (or that's what it felt like....)
Overall a good weekend, I didn't take any photos nor does it need more description- CMJ is meh
