This caught my eye recently, i have been to the big apple 3 times, but boy would i love to be there next week for the CMJ Music Marathon Oct 31-Nov 4. This event was a coming out party for The Arcade Fire in 2004 and these are just a few of the bands that would be great to see next week.
Aloha, Annuals, Birdmonster, The Black Angels, Bound Stems, Califone, Chin Chin Up, Cold War Kids, The Decemberists, French Kicks, Magnolia Electric Co., Plus/Minus, The Shins, Silversun Pickups, Someone Still Loves You Boris Yeltsin, Tapes 'n Tapes, The Thermals, Tokyo Police Club.
Here is a track i like from Bound Stems: Western Biographic.
