CMJ 2005 BEST MOST WORST List from The Deli Magazine
In honor of The Emmys, please enjoy…
The Deli Magazine’s 1st Annual BEST MOST WORST List for CMJ 2005
Best song title: Knife Skill’s “Today I went to the doctor, and…”
Best band name: Chin up Chin up (close seconds: Au Revoir, Simone and The Harlem Shakes)
Most difficult venue to find: The Knitting Factory, which disappears and reappears like Kevin Bacon in The Invisible Man.
Most annoyed looking sound guy: Dude from CBGB’s during pre-show set up for the Paul Brill show. He is doing much to further the stereotype of tech guys hating “non-users.” Don’t think the “hands through the hair, loud sigh—musicians are nimrods eye-roll” went unappreciated—I was in the front row loving it.
Page McConnell award for turning a household object into a musical instrument: Jaymay’s back up musician blowing into bottles during her set.
Least surprising statement made by a musician onstage at CMJ: Kevin Devine: “I don’t support George Bush.”
Best hand stamp: Tonic, for their inky, detailed stamp in the shape of a martini. I didn't even want to wash it off!
Most surprising CMJ moment: New Yorkers dancing at The Harlem Shakes show.
Musician who looks most like a celebrity: Lungs of a Giant’s frontman Paul: That guy from Sweet Home Alabama.
Audience member who looks most like a celebrity: The guy standing outside of Tonic who I thought was Mark Ruffalo for ten minutes. Sorry about all the staring.
Your indie pixie,
