- CMJ 2015 is in full swing. The festival takes its name from the College Media Journal, which was started by Robert Haber in 1978. Haber’s publication was aimed at college radio programmers and their audiences, a crowd which is still well represented at each year’s festival. This year the CMJ speaker schedule includes talks and workshops on the radio resumes, interviews and the history of student-run radio as well as the CMJ College Radio Awards. As much as the five day, non-stop marathon still honors its history in college radio, it also delves into the live scene. Well over a thousand bands with varying levels of exposure play venues all over New York. From the basement-like space of Cake Shop to the expansive Brooklyn Bowl, artists gather to play their best and celebrate music. This year’s line-up includes bands of every genre and size. Seeing all of them is infeasible, but here are about dozen acts that you can’t miss. - - - - - - - - - - T H U R S D A Y - - - - - - - - - - Glass Animals Genre: Indie Rock Set Time: Thu, October 15, 8:00 PM @ Terminal 5 Listen To: "Black Mambo" Girls with Brown Hair Genre: Indie Rock/Comedy Set Time: Thu, October 15, 8:06 PM > 8:16 PM @ The Unicorn Listen To: "Dad Rap" Panda Bear Genre: Experimental Set time: Thu, October 15, 9:00 PM @ Bowery Ballroom Listen To: “Boys Latin” off of Panda Bear Meets the Grim Reaper The Maccabees Genre: Indie Rock Set Time: Thu, October 15, 11:00 PM > 11:45 PM @ Me[...]
