Sarah Jaffe! She was just named in the 2nd round of artists and I will be in NY for 5 days hopelessly wandering the streets with nothing to do if I don’t get a badge.

Margaret Cho- I want to see her and Selena get down to businass on the stage and I know she will make me laugh through the night. Get some workout done while attending dance shows in the likes of Ninjasonik, Nick Catchdubs and Chris Young the Rapper… and of course Busta Rhymes will be in my MUST GO TO list.

I love Fader! I’m so excited to see who brings brings to their sideshow. They always have the best bands! I’d also be excited to see the Andrew WK panel, Atlas Sound, Fools Gold, and all the emerging bands!

By: Rebecca Goglia

I am so excited to see Atlas Sound. They were one of the best bands of CMJ ’07 at The Fader sideshow!!

The XX!!!

By: nichole

nichole — Wed, 14 Oct 2009 04:31:57 +0000

i NEED to see the xx because i’m kicking myself for missing them when they played so many times about 2 weeks before ATP. also, holly miranda, washed out, fanfarlo and broadcast.

Music – Fanfarlo

Film – The Messenger

By: Jillian

Jillian — Tue, 13 Oct 2009 21:53:31 +0000

Music:
Jukebox the Ghost, Freelance Whales, Cale Parks, Neon Indian, Ambulance LTD, Bear Hands, Atlas Sound, Holly Miranda, Mumford & Sons, The Temper Trap, The Antlers, Crystal Antlers, Modern Skirts, Delorean, Pomegranates, all the Park the Van artists, The Dig, Emanuel and the Fear

Panels:
But the reason I’d really love a badge is because I’d like to attend some of the panels also. And by some, I mean as many as I can. As a music business professional who’s forced to work independently because of the recession and therefore has no extra money for a badge, it would be a blessing. I’d FLIP to attend Andrew WK’s panel.

Thanks for the opportunity!

i want a cMj badge! i’m not the avid concertgoer, I AM the concertgoer! I like the XX and already saw them twice, same with School of Seven Bells. Saw Japandroids and don’t want to lose any more of my hearing to them. Ambulance Ltd., Fanfarlo, Crystal Antlers, Real Estate; been there done that several times. I do want to see XX, Beach Fossils, Mum, Atlas Sound all over again! I’m really excited about the newbies and the ones treading international waters to play! NEON INDIAN! Freelance Whales, Sin Fang Bous, Choir of Young Believers, Javelin, Nathaniel Ratcliff and the Wheel.

I could definitely use that CMJ badge so I can get some good music mileage out of it! Thanks for the chance Fader!

I would want to see the Antlers just to find out how well their songs from Hospice translate live.

By: Trey

The XX for sure and Japanaroids.

I’ve been wanting to catch The Depreciation Guild & Pete And The Pirates for a while. Would also love to finally see Múm.

By: Eva

Eva — Mon, 12 Oct 2009 19:27:15 +0000

I’d say The XX if they weren’t playing on the same night as my beloved Leonard Cohen. So I’d say Mum, because it is a long way from Iceland to NYC!

By: Snoop

Besides the lovely staff of the Fader?
The Antlers. Because, every lonely person needs a good music-induced cry now and then.

I want to see the Dutchess & the Duke!! I tried to see them last year at CMJ but the show was full by the time I got there – which was BEFORE the show even began. I’m also excited to see Drink Up Buttercup – I saw them at a CMJ last year and they put on an awesome show.

Also – I live in NYC and can’t afford the hefty price tag of the CMJ pass. I’m kind of DYING to have one.

I’m really looking forward to seeing the xx at Fixed, but I want to attend a whole slew of panels – it’d be exciting because I’m an alumnus of NYU and I fell in love with CMJ and the music industry while I was writing for the school paper years ago so now that the day events are housed at my old stomping grounds I am more hopeful to win.

I definitely want to see Broadcast, Pig Destroyer and Cold Cave and am sure there will be a lot of awesome label showcases.

By: Yair

Dearest Fader,

I would like most to see Broadcast because my love for them has endured the test of time and their sonic propulsions always conjure memories of sitting on the carpet of the room of my brother (r.i.p. 2/12/06). I have always been too curious to see what sort of magic Broadcast would project from the stage; my brother said that when he went to a show of theirs and found himself entranced by their aura.
I said he was stupid and probably on drugs.

I’d also really like to see Still Flyin’ because their ecstatic yelps are said to induce projectile vomiting.

Love!
-Y

I’m really looking forward to the realest hip-hop showcase on the schedule: BB King’s freshest fest featuring The X-Ecutioners, Sadat X, Busta Rhymes, and more.

I sure could use one of those passes…hook a brother up!

Hey guys! Thanks for doing this…my fellow music director and I have been itching sooo bad to got o CMJ so we can check out the bands that send us stuff in the mail every damn day. This giveaway gives us hope.

But! I would definitely most like to see Dent May and his Magnificent Ukulele who I just found out is playing late Friday. I think seeing a Wes-Anderson-character-reject (as he seems to be) playing a tiny ukulele would be so wonderfully sweet I’d walk outta there with my first cavity. I play the ukulele too and Dent (who names themselves/names their kid that? cmawn!) is such an inspiration for a tiny lady with tinier hands

Laura Marling and First Aid Kid are also lovely up-n-comers

woo!

Most looking forward to Adam Heldring (awesome singer/songwriter from Sweden), Awesome New Republic, Hockey, Zach Williams, and The Photo Atlas.

Would love to finally check them all out live and what better way to do that than… CMJ

Looking forward to seeing some bands on the Park The Van label: Floating Action, Generationals, High Strung… Other than that I’d be thrilled to go from venue to venue just checking out things I’ve never heard before.

I am excited for the possibility that I exist in the universe where P to the I to the T B U double the L and The Very Best perform together. I haven’t really understood what that means for the music they will make, but I don’t think Alfred Nobel knew he was making Dynamite.

Miles Benjamin Anthony Robinson… Ever since first learning about him from the cover story you guys did I have become a huge fan… His music has very inspirational in helping me kick my demons. Would love to fly out from Cali to support him and see him play live for the first time. Thanks for considering me a worthy badge recipient.

i want to see the xx–i’m digging everything that’s coming out of the UK (like florence and the machine). can’t stop listening to the “you’ve got the love” remix. their songs are sexy but chill–can’t get any better.

i love the folkiness of deer tick, and warm heart of africa makes me smile so much (reminds me of k’naan a bit!).

and who doesn’t like being exposed to awesome music all around?

Margaret Cho!

Wild Yaks, since it looks like they might never tour. and Pitbull, just cause, i mean, it won’t be as great as MattsoReals rap showcases on the southside of Austin, but it’d still be pretty neat.

I’m psyched to see School of Seven Bells. I have seen the Secret Machines a bunch and had one transformative show at Warsaw that made me think they were a band destined for the sort of arena hugeness that Pink Floyd pioneered in heady, psychedelic rock back in the ’70s. I am hoping that School of Seven Bells can deliver on half that and, at the very least, will be a live experience for the books.

XX seem like they would be a fun band to see live too (but I’m sure everyone says that, right?).

I WANT TO SEE FANFARLO!!!!!

Um, Bear Hands, because I have yet to see them in real life and I live in the same city as them and there’s no excuse for that. And of course I would hate to miss MR. 305 himself.

Choose me.
