CMJ: Day 4000

I wasn’t so diligent documenting last night via grainy, barely perceptible blackberry photos, so I’ll editorialize a bit more on this one.

Irving for Santogold, Yo Majesty and Spank Rock. Watched D’Mite (I’m not a rapper, I’m a poet with a hip-hop style)’s set.

Found out Santogold wasn’t going on. Took off for the Delancey. Bought these:

Bling Kong

and got a special “friend of the band” discount cause my buddy bummed Bling Kong’s guitarist a smoke. Righteous!

Found out Santogold was at that very moment rushing to Irving. Stayed for Cale Parks‘ set:

and the Narrator (no shitty pic available). My buddy and I parted - he headed back to Irving and I foolishly wandered over to AK47 in time for painfully poseur party central. Got a text from Irving: MIA is onstange right now!!!!

I got a tall boy, hailed a cab, and headed home marginally defeated.

A gentler evening: UNKLE @ Webster Hall

This one goes out to Fausto, the super trooper who got off the plane from San Fran and headed straight to Webster Hall to catch UNKLE. And there I was bitching about the commute from Brooklyn.

Three cheers for free beers at A/K…and my new friends at purevolume.

Hungover.

A little tipsy:

No Age @Bowery

Deep in my cups:

Deerhunter @Bowery

And then after, totally hungover:

Birthday Suits @Cake Shop

Five hours of sleep…and let’s do it again!
