Today In Music

Welcome to the kind of official reintroduction of D+T’s links round-up, appropriately titled ”Today In Music.” If you live in New York City (and you don’t happen to reside under a rock situated smack in the middle of the mainstream), then you probably know that there’s a huge music fest going on called CMJ–which means there’s a hell of a lot going on in music today. Regardless, we have slogged through the spiraling corridors of the Internet to bring you a wholly fresh batch of links. Click your brains out after the jump.

Coming off a blow-out showcase last night at the Music Hall of Williamsburg (featuring the likes of Walter Schreifels, Laura Marling and The Antlers), Brooklyn Vegan gives their picks for today’s best CMJ parties: CMJ 2009
