Sundry CMJ Info and Schedules

We don’t really deal with a lot of schedule news, but we’re getting inundated with College Music Journal (CMJ) Marathon material. So we’re summing what we have for schedules and news, because we like some of these places, venues, and artists. We will not attend the marathon, but maybe YOU can.

Earlier today, NPR posted a mix of artists developed from a poll of 10 college radio stations. You can check out their recommended bands and download the podcast here.
