Friday, I decided to make some use of my CMJ badge and check out the much lauded and buzzed The xx. Since they were playing a show with School of Seven Bells, who’ve also been buzzed, I headed to Music Hall of Williamsburg for my second CMJ day.

The line-up also included Depreciation Guild and Phantogram. Sad to say, not a single band impressed me in any way. The lighting situation made it even more dire. It became so bad during SVIIB, I gave up on photography alltogether.
Up next: Final day of CMJ with the FADER party with Florence + the Machine, Midnight Juggernaut and Vega.
