CMJ has announced even more performers for its previously reported fall extravaganza, the CMJ Music Marathon, which kicks off in NYC on October 31 and runs through November 4. Predictably, the additions are pretty incredible, running the gamut from the indie-normous (the Shins) to recent favorites (the Thermals) to the lame (Medeski, Martin and Wood).

But the name that made us don sackcloth and ashes, burn all of our earthly belongings, and weep with joy in thanks, is Clipse. Now that all of our shit's burnt up, we're not quite sure how we're going to get to New York, but we'll find a way.

Unfortunately, the Boy Least Likely To have canceled their appearance at the festival. We're not sure why, but we hope they're not beefing with Clipse. No offense to the British duo, but we're pretty sure Pusha and Malice would win that one.

Here are some highlights from the CMJ lineup, new additions first:
