In case you weren’t in town or were just unable to break-off in the middle of the day Tuesday and get a little (or in our case A LOT) day drunk for our CMJ party, here’s a round-up of people who were:
Bill from BrooklynVegan described the show “Pretty much all the free daytime action happens on Ludlow St. today. Biggest among them is The Music Slut’s party at Pianos”
NYPress’s Tina spent her first CMJ day with us: “A good starting point yesterday was the Lower East Side, particularly The Music Slut Day Party showcase at Pianos. The house was packed with some of the most buzz-worthy bands of the week all in one room.”
Prefix Mag sent the always lovely Maryanne to photograph the party:
Sentimentalist Mag was there from start to finish: “the hotly tipped Brooklyn-by-way-of-Tacoma quartet Oberhofer played to a packed room, slaying with a perfect afternoon cocktail of infectious and punky romp and stomp.”
And last but kind of least because he forgot to mention where he saw all these bands, Jon Pareles from the New York Times hung out with us all day and especially loved Zowie, Hooray for Earth and Oberhofer.
The New York Times reports: *Audur Capital, a venture capital firm in Reykjavik has started its second fund, named Bjork, with 100 million Icelandic kronur (about $816,330) from Bjork and the firm. They are raising more money now, with the goal of closing the fund in March. The Bjork fund will invest in early stage businesses concentrating on green technology, with the goal of helping spur a recovery of Iceland’s economy, which was devastated by a financial crisis this fall.*

In September, Bjork & Antony premiered a clip for ‘Dull Flame Of Desire’.

The band exclaims: *We don’t really know how they picked us. They contacted us out of the blue about three days before we were going to play in LA. A man who said he was a representative for Apple said he wanted to see the band perform because the team was thinking of using a Chairlift song for a commercial. We put him on the guest list. We didn’t meet him or talk to him or talk to him directly. They’re really secretive. They want to keep their new campaigns top secret, so top secret that they are not even letting the band know they are going to be the song on the commercial!* Read the full piece here.
