MOG, the online music network that offers millions of songs on a subscription basis, is hosting one of the best shows of this year’s CMJ, and not just because it’s free. They’ve lined up a terrific quartet of acts that should kick off the festival in a phenomenal way. L.A. mixmaster Dam-Funk will get things going with a DJ set, making sure the funk is turned up damn loud. New Brunswick’s Screaming Females tore up the Siren Festival with their thrashing rock, led by lone female Marissa Paternoster, who plays a mean guitar and, yes, can scream like a banshee. Worcester by way of Madrid’s one-named DOM also was a highlight at Siren, although with a more subdued set, a pink guitar, and cool rock star ’tude. And you can never go wrong with the inimitable experimental trio of Ira Kaplan, Georgia Hubley, and James McNew, the ubiquitous and always interesting Yo La Tengo.
