Matador At CMJ 2008
October 20th, 2008 at 11:02 am by Robby2008′s CMJ Music Marathon in New York City begins tomorrow (10/21), but for us, the festivities start tonight with Shearwater’s performance at Le Poisson Rouge (LPR).
Find below, your guide to the official and unofficial CMJ Marathon showcases featuring a trio of Matador acts: Shearwater, Jay Reatard and Mission of Burma.
With quite the live-act triumvirate and manning of the 1′s and 2′s by Billy Hayes and Times New Viking at the Beggars/Matador After Party, this’ll be a week to remember.
We’ll see you out!

158 Bleeker?
NYC Department of Tranportation fucks that up now and then, both in Manhattan and Ridgewood/Bushwick but… the Matablog?!
No biggie but I (who make a jillion typos) did notice so others might too.

9000 I’m surprised you weren’t hurt by the apparent encroachment of Williamsburg into north Greenpoint.

i CANNOT stand when people co-opt neighborhoods for purposes such as selling real estate or promoting lame indie rock shows. in this case, however, matador is neither guilty of promoting a lame show nor of annexing greenpoint. they are, however, guilty of confusing streets with avenues amongst many other egregious typographic errors.
griff says, go get a late pass. STEP.

“manning of the 1’s and 2’s”
this phrase makes me irrationally violent towards those that use it.

wheels of steel?

that phrase leaves me disproportionately sad for those that use it 9000.
