new years eve plans in NYC needed??

mike will be pulling double duty this new years eve, starting
out djing at Rubulad as is the tradition every new years. He
will then jump in a car and head over to Santos Party House
for the Italians NYE party downstairs along with our own
Invisible Conga People performing a live set, then mike will
play a while as well as our pals Eamon and James. Very
exciting! come on down! Santos open til the sun comes up!

happy holidays, etc..

in leu of some obscure lost baleric italo christmas
heavy rock jam from scandanavia or something- we
are going back to our roots. this one is for all the
lovers with their loved ones on this lovely holiday
season... happy holidays from your Italians family.

Now I Don't Mind Choppin' Wood...

movie of the year

filmed in Bayonne NJ. music by Bruce, a tour de force performance...
doesnt get any better than that.

...a close second for record of the year

this record literally blew my head off. obviously i am
not going to post a download for this out of respect to
Arthur Russell and Audika, but i suggest you buy this
album immediately.

my favorite album of 2008

for you

THE CURE Peel Sessions

this just arrived in my inbox via mysterious stranger who
knows i love the Cure. These Peel Sessions are from 1978,
1980 and 1981 i believe... Some killer early stuff here that
hasn't been leaked that much. You can hear some influence
that leaked through to some Italians artists as well (hint
hint)... But when i tell people i love the Cure, i really mean
it. Maybe I'll post some Cure edits i did. I feel weird posting
edits sometimes... but anyway, enjoy!

PS: the version of Seventeen Seconds SMOKES. so good!

1978

1980

1981
