If you have any energy left, you can check out FMLY‘s $6 post-CMJ party, fucking party (peace out cmj) @ Shea Stadium

And it seems obvious, but I feel like I should say all this info is subject to change (in fact it may already be outdated).

You should probably also check out the official CMJ Survival Guidehere.

Finally, a little online publication called Pitchfork (maybe you have heard of it) is having what is either a massive unofficial CMJ showcase or their own separate music festival at Brooklyn Bowl from the 21st to the 23rd of October. It is called the #OfflineFestival. Get the deets here, here, and here.

September 2008 Mix

mp3 :: Puttin’ On The Ritz > Gigantic (Pixies Cover)

Thursday, August 27th, 2009

To cover the Pixies, one must take the material and “make it your own.” e.g. O’Death covering “Nimrod’s Son”. To try and sound like the Pixies is an exercise in futility. It will only make you sound banal. That is why most Pixies covers suck. I don’t feel like posting crappy Pixies covers here. You can find many examples using http://google.com/. Have fun with that.

So, let’s talk about the jazzpunk of Puttin’ On The Ritz. The band definitely owns this cover of “Gigantic”. It may not wind up in your heavy rotation (or maybe it will?), but you need to hear this… this is awesome, as in it inspires awe.

Downloadable: Gigantic (mp3)

Consider CLICKing Moved To Twitter

Tuesday, June 2nd, 2009

So, I have pretty much moved all my digesting/linking to other blog stories/interesting matter and such over to my twitter feed, and will focus more on posting mp3s here at GIMME TINNITUS and not obsessing over other people’s content.
