GRAVEDIGGAZ - "DIARY OF A MADMAN"

So Check it. yooooo what kinda Halloween would it be without Gravediggaz, a super group of sorts that never really popped off.

COLD CAVE - "The Trees Grew Emotions and Died"

So Check it, I found out about Cold Cave last spring when they opened up for Crystal Stilts at the Bowery. I copped the 7" for this song "The Trees Grew Emotions and Died" and recently copped their new excellent full length "Love Comes Close"(go get it now!). They don't have any vids yet, and i can't wait any longer, so here is a post of the song "The Trees Grew Emotions and Died." It's posted with a still shot of the cover of the 7". The real question is why did i pass on a tee shirt with the same cover art on it, that they were selling at the show? stupid, stupid man. LUV IT!

CROCODILES-"Neon Jesus"

So check it, i have been listing to Crocodiles all summer, caught a couple of their shows back in June, and even copped one of their pretty kick ass tees. This band seems to have channelled some of my favorite shit, Jesus and Mary Chain, Spacmen 3, Suicide, and Spiritualized. Most of the time i would dis a band for copying a certain bands steez but Crocodiles do it the right way, which is not an easy thing to do. They accept the torch very well. It helps that they just flat out write killer hooks, and killer songs(literally i guess.) Anyhow the track "I Wanna Kill" has been in heavy ro at my crib since May. Unfortunately there is not a vid for that song yet sooooo i have to post their song "Neon Jesus" which, I assure you, is no stinker. So peep it "Neon Jesus" from Crocodiles. LUV IT!

RYE RYE & DJ BLAQSTARR-"Shake it to the Ground"

So Check it. We here at LUVITNYC fucks wit Rye Rye cuz she kills it on so many levels. Here is the ghetto ass vid for "Shake it to the Ground." Check the Misfits poster and the poster for Stanley Kubrick's The Shining when the lil kids are jumpin' on the bed, all so perfect. And yeah mufucka i'm a lil surprised to see those posters in the hood. Anyhoo, LUVIT!

YEAH YEAH YEAH'S-"Zero" on Letterman

So Check it. I peeped the Yeah Yeah Yeah's secret show at Santo's Party House in NYC on Easter Sunday a few weeks ago. The show ruled, of course, as does their new record "It's Blitz!" Anyhoo here they are performing their first single "Zero" off the new record which is all new wave-y and what not, we like. Also notice the new fourth phantom member on synths, it's Dave fuckin' Pajo from Slint! As Letterman says "That's just about right." LUVIT!

CRYSTAL CASTLES-"Vanished"

So Check it. Ya'll know we pretty much dig Crystal Castles here at LUVITNYC, so to keep it movin' here is the vid for their track "Vanished." LUVIT!
