The Physics of Meaning take over CMJ

The Physics of Meaning joined the hundreds of bands rolling through New York City this past weekend for the annual CMJ Music Marathon. The festival can be treacherous, but this year it treated the Physics Boys very, very well. Here's some videos, photos and kind words.

KEXP, the wonderful radio station based in Seatlle, WA, asked Daniel and Co. to play a set live on the air during CMJ. If you weren't lucky enough to tune in to hear it live, KEXP was nice enough to film a video and make it their Video of the Week. Here's The Physics of Meaning performing "We Were Made for This World" off of their new album, Snake Charmer and Destiny at the Stroke of Midnight:


KEXP also conducted a very saucy interview with the band:


-Stereogum posted a nice photo of Daniel in their CMJ '08: It's a Photo Wrap.
-Gothamist, whose CMJ showcase The Physics of Meaning played, posted an interview with the band, conducted by members of Wild Sweet Orange.
-Free Williamsburg posted a few pictures and words about Physics' performance at the Forcefield PR Showcase at Pianos.
-RCRD LBL posted a nice little feature on "Aeroplanes and Hurricanes", the lead single off of Snake Charmer.
