IT'S MARATHON TIME

In its 25-plus years, the CMJ Music Marathon in New York has presented sets by the Beastie Boys, Death Cab for Cutie, Feist, Lenny Kravitz, Nine Inch Nails and R.E.M., among many others.

This year's edition, running Tuesday through Saturday (Oct. 16-20) at venues in Manhattan, Brooklyn and Hoboken, features acts relatively fresh (British Sea Power, Illinois, The Primms, Voxtrot) and thoroughly familiar (Bouncing Souls, Christopher Cross, Coheed and Cambria, Meat Puppets), as well as artists well below the radar.

New Jersey's own Status Green also is among the scheduled performers.

WHOLE LOTTA ZEPPELIN

Led Zeppelin fans have two reasons to look forward to Nov. 13.

That day, the band will release a two-disc compilation called Mothership. More importantly, Zeppelin's catalog will be available online.

"We are pleased that the complete Led Zeppelin catalog will now be available digitally," guitarist Jimmy Page today (Oct. 15) said in a statement. "The addition of the digital option will better enable fans to obtain our music in whichever manner that they prefer."
