devin the dude.. nice.
 
 i saw him earlier this year at some club in bethesda (i think Fuzion?) and the show was so poorly organized. doors open at 8, devin doesnt go on stage until midnight?? in the meanwhile, we're subjected to any and every local rapper in existence, most of whom were terrible. devin finally goes on, plays 2 songs and then the power is cut?? a fight breaks out, then 20 minutes later, he goes back on for maybe 20-30 minutes max and the show is over. well, for me anyways. after devin left, the local rappers took the stage yet AGAIN. i guess the 4 hours before wasnt enough time for them to get out their "message."
 
 but it was cool getting to see devin live.

a number of the bands listed above had announced shows in NYC for some time now (the Rodrigo Y Gabriela on 10/19, Justice on 10/20, etc etc)... these aren't "new" shows.  now it looks like it's being presented/represented as part of CMJ?  is that how this thing works?
 
 further confusing things for me: one can buy individual tickets to these events.  however,  CMJ is selling expensive festival passes.  how does that work?  if i  buy tickets for justice  (and only justice) through ticketmassturd, can i be denied entry because a ton of CMJ'ers showed up and filled the venue?

yeah those shows were announced and they are part of CMJ. that was the most recent update CMJ had. shows will start getting announced, but you can also check myspace pages as a lot of them are starting to list showcases they're playing in. lots of showcases put on by labels, blog shows (underrated kicked ass last year), etc. a lot of the larger shows get announced earlier and do sell out.
 
 i got the feeling that bowery presents was opening terminal 5 just in time for cmj. another venue to have shows at. so yes - justice, mia, rodrigo y gabriela, etc. are all part of cmj shows.  badges dont guarantee admittance to shows, but you get into a lot of other things with the badges. oh forgot to add- ticketholders get into all shows. doesnt matter what time you show up - with a ticket they cant deny you entrance. naturally with a badge - for the hotter shows you have to show up early and sometimes sit through a lot of bands you dont wanna see.
 
 ps the cmj site tells a lot of this info.

to add on to what's been said about this, certain shows have a specific limit of the number of CMJ badges they let in - sometimes it's 50 sometimes 100.  And yes, ticketholders always get in.
 
 I only paid for a badge once.  You can volunteer and get your badge for free and meet fun people at the same time.

Whoa I hope Earthless swing through here either before or after.

[xneverwherex]

and so the list continues:
 btw - came across this because a friend is obsessive about British Sea Power.
 
 10/17 - Deerhunter/Dan Deacon/No Age/White Williams - Bowery $15  and
 
 10/18 - British Sea Power/Pela/1990s/Tiny Masters of Today/Stardeath and White Dwarfs/The Grey Race - $17 (also Bowery)
 
 and the lovemakers are finally back! guess i know what show ill be seeing!
