Yup, CMJ starts today and the amount of bands to take is almost as overwhelming as the amount of information that is being disseminated in the form of previews, guides, top ten lists, and tip sheets. In lieu of adding my own voice to the noise, I’m just going to round up the sizeable list of resources that are already out there. (Don’t worry, I’ll be adding my own daily picks over the course of the rest of the week, maybe even later today.)
