Hey everybody! I’m running late to pick up my CMJ badge–the screaming woman Jess ran into yesterday wasn’t the only person who got all bollocksed up by the 6 p.m. registration cutoff–so as a sign-off/present to you, here’s the video for Helium’s sinewy “Superball,” which Mary Timony apparently played last night, at a show I missed because I was too busy spazzing out with Ponytail. (See, that’s why CMJ is so much “fun”; you’re always missing something!)

Yeah, she played that and “Silver Angel” (in reverse order) and managed to make me happy that Marnie Stern had changed her set time to hours before I’d arrived.
@lastclearchance: I’m so jealous, for real! I love me some old school Mary Timony.
