CMJ Music Marathon in NYC Oct 31-Nov 4 - Need Advice!!

[HelloAngel]

Hello fine people. So I have to get back to the publicity/press coordinators office at CMJ once i've picked out my concert itinerary for coverage on Interference.com, and I need your help.

I already know I want to see:

The Decemberists
The Black Keys
Gang Gang Dance
Hot Chip
Tapes N Tapes
Cold War Kids
Dr. Dog
The Album Leaf
Snowden
Mute Math

But who else should I put in for for you guys? Here's my choices:

Leave a comment below, email or message me to tell me why I should see your suggestions, and why I shouldn't see some of mine. Thank ya. It's a daunting task to cover CMJ effectively, but I'm determined, dammit, to get my sillie ass out there to see some shows and have a good time for you all.

Love,
C

Ooh and how I do love Ballroom Blitz. Is that seriously her? B/c the actress is called Tia Carrere. (I thought?!)

whatever you do, avoid the starlite desperation. unless you actually like generic and really bad garage rock.

 

[zoney!]

Decemberists and tapes n' tapes are good picks.

Others I would like to see (or have seen and enjoyed*):

The Shins
Deerhoof*
Blonde Redhead*
Architecture in Helsinki
Silversun Pickups
Decibully *
Headlights* (go see them!!!)

I am tired of the French Kicks.
