It's time for the CMJ Music Marathon!  If you aren't familiar with CMJ week, just take a listen to this week's show.  There are showcases galore all over lower Manhattan, especially here around the Alphabet City area, as well as in Brooklyn.  Bands play all day from October 31 - November 4.

It's a really exciting event for indie music lovers.

Here's who's featured on this week's Alphabet City Radio show:
Opening with the Bon Savants here from Boston, playing on Friday, Nov. 4 for an early show at Mercury Lounge before heading out on tour.  Check out this song, Why This Could Never Work Between Us, off of their new album.

Wednesday, Nov. 1:  The Rinse hit the CMJ stage at Club Midway.

Thursday, Nov. 2:  Get a little country fix with Angela Desveaux at Tonic.  Looks like Montreal keeps giving us more musical gems.  Get there early for this show, first for Angela (she's on at 8:00) and then for the open bar.

Friday, Nov. 3:  Thunderbirds Are Now play Pianos, coming in to hit it big at CMJ from the Detroit area. 

Saturday, Nov. 4:  Before hitting Mercury Lounge to see the Bon Savants, head to the matinee show at Pianos and check out the cool electronic/rock/dance tunes of Zambri.  Really cool stuff.
Close the podcast show out this week with Land of Talk, playing all week at different venues, ending with Mercury Lounge on Friday.
Now, go out and take advantage of this exciting week.
