CMJ Schedule Revealed
Decemberists, Albert Hammond Jr., the Fall, Malajube added

Forget every non-music-related item you know, and make some space in that brain for the 2006 CMJ Music Marathon lineup. As previously reported, the artist list for the NYC event, taking place October 31-November 4, is downright gigantic, and it seems to be getting bigger by the second. Since our last story, the Decemberists, the Strokes' Albert Hammond, Jr., the Blow, the Cardigans, Chin Up Chin Up, Malajube, Mary Timony, Gang Gang Dance, the Fall, and many, many more have been added.

The full schedule can be found here.

In addition to the slew of bands, CMJ will host a series of film events, including advance screenings of Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan with a special appearance by Borat himself and Oasis-- Lord Don't Slow Me Down with a special appearance by Noel Gallagher himself. Who is more of a comedic character? You decide!

As usual, there will be a number of panels in addition to the multimedia extravaganza. This year's panelists include Chuck D, George Clinton, Janeane Garofalo, A-Trak, Gibby Haynes of Butthole Surfers, Nina Persson of the Cardigans, Hi-Tek, Dr. Know of Bad Brains, Steve Earle, Adam Green, the muthafuckin Insane Clown Posse, and Pitchfork Senior News Editor Amy Phillips.
