March, a month of madness for some traveling to Paris for Fashion Week and Austin, Texas for SXSW. Although, should you be staying stateside this month, doesn’t mean there aren’t things to do, hear, see and fawn over. From Armory Arts week, exhibit openings, sold-out concerts and anticipated album releases, March means were closer to warmer weather and that springtime feeling in the New York air.

1st: Lykke Li releases her sophomore album titled “Wounded Rhymes” on LL Recordings. (www.lykkeli.com)
