Unsurprisingly I missed (or will miss) most of CMJ because it’s impossible to enjoy a show with a migraine, and I try to avoid agonizing pain when possible. But I did catch Reni Lane gracefully tackle an an early set, a tiny venue, and a boring, sober crowd Thurs night at The Delancey. Reni had a single on The L Word called “Place For Us”, which recently got even more love when RAC remixed it.
