Ears ringing. Knees aching. Body confused. I’ve been thoroughly rocked.

Here are my pictures from the last day of CMJ 2007. It was cool to check out the new Music Hall of Williamsburg (though I think they should have kept the name North Six – it’s just better in so many ways). The place was really nice though, snazzy, clean, comfortable. Lots of huge plush couches and spots for relaxing, and excellent views from the balcony with its funny wooden risers. Plus, they were giving away free hotdogs, so that was pretty awesome. And boy did I eat a lot of them.

One of the sponsors, Continuum, was raffling off some of the latest books from their excellent 33 1/3 series. Check them out.

(sorry, no pics of Anna Ternheim or …And You Will Know Us By The Trail Of Dead, though both played excellent sets. I can describe TotD’s set in one word: loud)

    Bravo! Liz is such a trooper, subjecting herself to all of this Indie Rock in the name of journalism.

    Ahem, no setlists?

    Just kidding.
