MUSIC FOR THE WEEKEND

We have been a bit slack as of late featuring new music and generally music we like. So as its almost the weekend here is a tune for saturday night. Ray Charles - Golddigger (Diplo Remix)

COMUNE X CROCODILES

Amid the chaos across the waters @ SXSW Texas, Crocodiles are filling venues and playing killer sets. Over here Rough Trade records are waiting for a repress of Crocodiles 7" Neon Jesus, expected to sell out fast http://www.roughtrade.com/site/shop_detail.lasso?search_type=sku&sku=322030

Then if you are lucky you can catch Crocodiles playing @ Pure Groove records, Farringdon London on 31st May.

COMUNE have supported Crocodiles for some time now and will be releasing a limited Drop City art t shirt in July, designed by Crocodiles

"The Man" resembles a tripped out rendering of The Crocodiles favorite cultural icon. It is also the cover of their most recent 7" titled "Outlaw blues". See more @ http://www.myspace.com/crocodilescrocodilescrocodiles
