Better than: Reading newspapers.

Who says you can't do this 24 hours a day? We stepped into the basement of Bowery Electric at around 11:50 yesterday morning, and made it through all six hours of the Village Voice/Redeye Distribution Day Party, as fans and artists popped in and out, likely on their way to another nearby event. Marnie Stern, for instance, finished her set at Bowery Electric at 4:15, then quickly quickly headed off to the Brooklyn Bowl for another #Offline set, scheduled for 5:45.

Because why not add to the general mayhem that will be sweeping the Lower East Side starting Tuesday of next week? We are pleased to announce the Voice will be teaming with Redeye Distribution to sponsor CMJ day party this year, featuring none other than our pal, role model, and foul-mouthed hero, Marnie Stern, local Magnetic Fields acolytes Hooray for Earth, Calibro 35, Heidi Spencer, PVT, Alessi's Ark, Darren Hanlon, and one pair of very special unannounced guests, whose names we cannot reveal yet, on pain of death. (We can vouch for the fact that they are actually special though.) Friday, October 22, Bowery Electric, 12 p.m.-6 p.m., free, no badges necessary. Set times and more info, right here:
