A few weeks ago The Deli teamed up with INDMUSIC to find the best unsigned and independent music videos to be featured between sets during some of The Deli's CMJ showcases at this year's Music Marathon. After hours and hours of "music-vision", The INDMUSIC staff finally delivered the list of winners - here's a playlist of all the selected videos. Starting today we'll slowly upload the ones we like in our local blogs. INDMUSIC is a Youtube Network designed to help bands monetize their video content without sacrificing creative control.

The Deli and Delicious Audio are super proud to announce the first StompBox Exhibit at CMJ, a free event hosted at The Living Room and Ludlow Guitars on Ludlow Street in NYC, during the 2 busiest days of the CMJ Music Marathon. Exhibitors include Moog, TC Electronic, Digitech, T-Rex, Hardwire, Eventide, Line 6, Pigtronix, and many others - MORE INFO HERE.

Working under the name Bird of Youth, music journalist Beth Wawerna earlier this year has released “Defender,” an album that combines the guitar-driven pop sounds of 90s rock with Wawerna's clever lyrics and authoritative delivery. Assembling a quality cast of friends and collaborators, Bird of Youth showcase the process in which the critic becomes the performer, with satisfying results. - See Bird of Youth live at Union Hall on September 29, read Jason Bertone's Q&A with Beth here.
