This is a last minute plea to have you come out to the btv/fanatic CMJ showcase at CB’s gallery in NYC tomorrow. It’s connected to world famous punk dive CBGB’s, you’ll be able to find it. Denison Witmer, Sufjan Stevens, Saxon Shore, The Trouble with Sweeney, and Robert Schneider. 8pm. $7 if you’re not there with a CMJ badge, badge-holders are free and there’s plenty of space. I’ll trade you some secret information for your consideration about coming to the show…Chan Marshall went to eat at Mori Moto’s prior to her Cat Power set on Friday in Philadelphia.
