Sister Suvi! Drink Up Buttercup! Sam Champion! Takka Takka! Consider the below a belated Christmas gift from us to your ears as you grapple with the post-holiday blues, a veritable smorgasbord of live audio from our killer CMJ day party this past October. We’ve got full sets from four of the six outstanding acts that graced the Pianos stage, so even if you couldn’t come celebrate with us the first time around, the following 26 MP3s should help make up for it.
Our hope is that listening to these together might help us return to a simpler time, when “Blagojevich” seemed like a curse word you might call a blogger and Mickey Rourke’s career resurrection appeared as likely as Steve Guttenburg’s. Special thanks to Nadim Issa for his help with the live audio….now enjoy and let the sweet sounds tide you over until we return to our regular editorial schedule next week. Happy holidays!
