EV2BK’s CMJ 2010 Selections – Tuesday, October 19

Well it’s that time of year again when the CMJ Music Marathon & Film Festival takes over downtown NYC and Brooklyn for a week of official showcases and boatloads more unofficial parties/DJ sets/booze giveaways featuring around 1,200 bands from all over the country and world. It’s always kind of a headache figuring out which shows to go to, so we wanted to offer up a hand-picked selection of shows for each of the five official days of the marathon (starting today, October 19, and running through Saturday, October 23).

Don’t Forget: Twin Shadow Drops Debut LP, Video for “Castles in the Snow”

On September 28, George Lewis, Jr. A/K/A Twin Shadow‘s much-anticipated debut LP Forget was released on Terrible Records here in the US (the album will be released in the UK on November 15 on 4AD). Obviously, we already knew this joint was hot. Pitchfork apparently agrees, giving the album an 8.4 in their review today. Go download this if you haven’t already!

Interestingly enough, this is not as *HIGH* as the score they gave the new Das Racist mixtape.

Check out the official video for “Castles in the Snow,” which continues in the same “was this shot in early ’84” vein as the previous video for “Slow.”

Twin Shadow – Castles in the Snow:

Jam of the Day – Tony Castles at the Pool Party

Yesterday, (The) Tony Castles released the video for their first single, “Black Girls in Dresses,” from the band’s forthcoming No Service EP, out September 21 on Famous Class Records. The video was directed by Jordan Fish (who also directed Das Racist’s “Rainbow in the Dark” video), and the EP was produced by Jake Aron (Jamie Lidell, Yeasayer, Chairlift).

(The) Tony Castles – Black Girls in Dresses:

(video via Stereogum)

We are really digging their sound and also wondering what went down with that watermelon Paul walks into the party with. In keeping with the “pool party” theme of the video, the band is throwing a record release party tomorrow night at Union Pool before heading out on their fall tour with Tom Tom Club. Free watermelon slices for everyone!

-Drew
