Now that music lovers in and out of New York City is shaking off the hangover from the CMJ Music Marathon, it's interesting to read the recaps.
Two Baltimore bands -- Ponytail and Wye Oak -- were both in renown music blog Stereogum's Top 8 From CMJ List, at numbers eight and seven, respectively. Baltimore, represent! Thanks to MS reader Mike for the tip.
I've been The Baltimore Sun's nightlife and local entertainment reporter for a couple years, and it's surprising how much the scene has grown in that time. Most of Baltimore's bars and clubs are unpretentious places with fairly cheap drinks and plenty of character. I like dancing and think this city needs more clubs, but nothing beats having a cold, locally brewed beer with friends in a comfortably full corner bar.

Went to the Wye Oak show at Bellhouse in Brooklyn on Friday. No doubt they gained a lot of new fans.

If anyone's interested, Wye Oak's set from the Metro Gallery this past Sunday:
