Sweet. Now I won't have to slum it uptown at 4 am.

Two things for you today:

1) It was just announced that the annual CMJ music marathon will be moved from it's long time residency at Lincoln Center, to NYU(!). The October festival which showcases some of the newest and best music on the scene (seeing the likes of The Horrors, The Knife, ¡Forward Russia!, The Thermals, (Klaxons, if they didn't have stupid visa issues), and Noel Gallagher this year) will be held now at the Puck Building, with acts playing on the NYU campus, and (as custom) in pretty much every venue in New York City.

Bittersweet news for me, because now I can't use the distance excuse (as justification to myself) to miss any good shows.

2) Drunken Arctic Monkeys are fun. To explain:



To explain the "fancy dress" bit:



I love the Arctic Monkeys.
