CMJ

The annual masturbatory musical experience once known as the College Music Journal Music Marathon and Film Festival hits New York City in 2 weeks, Oct. 16-20. This is a wonderful opportunity to catch the over-hyped, up-and-coming stars of 2008 in an over-crowded room filled with music biz types and their +1s, while more deserving bands with no industry machinery behind them play the Tuesday at 1 AM slot for the bar staff and that drunken girl no one wanted to date rape. Great!
