Nineteen Ninety Never

Did you watch that video of “Neon” Dion Agius? The whole thing is super slick, but when he lands that big 360 at around 3:18 that’s when you know he’s serious.

Yeah Yeah Yeahs - Heads Will Roll (Digiraatii Dance Til You’re Dead Remix)

Dion Agius isn’t a musician but he’s on MySpace (and hey, it says he’s from Currumbin! I learned to surf at the alley).

So are the Yeah Yeah Yeahs and Digiraatii. (Yeah, I checked: they actually spell it with two As and four Is).

Vid via Superstoker.

I know that I normally include a photo with each one of my posts here, but in this case I’m making an exception. The reason I’m making an exception is because (as Claudio who first showed me this video pointed out), every frame looks like a photo.

Watch the whole thing - right through to the credits.

Hecq vs Exillion - Spheres of Fury

I wish I knew more about the track, but the most I can find is Hecq’s MySpace.

I saw Tiga the other day…then watched the interview he did for his new album. If you haven’t seen it, go to  Tiga’s website,  and watch it. With lines like “My lyrics basically reveal essentially how interesting how I am” and it gives you a whole new appreciation for the man as an entertainer. Seriously - just watch the interview and prepare to be hilariously blown away.  I also really appreciate it when he says “As a child I always believed and dreamed of a glorious, golden, mysterious future. And i feel like I’ve arrived. ”

Fever Ray - Triangle Walks (Tiga Remix)

There is more Disco Villains here on 199X or check out the their Myspace. There is also more Tiga (I love that guy) on 199X here and here.

And for you lazy ones that won’t go to his website to watch the interview video, here it is in two parts:

Hit up Tiga on Facebook

I didn’t know what Body Rollin’ was until I saw this video, and now I can’t stop thinking about it.

This new Crookers vid also has some good body-rollin’ action

Thanks to First Up and Trash Menagerie for the vids.

I don’t really know if Mirror’s Edge is actually a French game, but since it is based on that parkour stuff it has a certain “je ne sais quois” of coolness about it. More props to it for rocking a cyberpunk storyline.

Pop The Glock is the first Uffie song that I ever heard, and the video below from Mirror’s Edge reminded of it.

Uffie - Pop The Glock

(Merci a Play Five pour le vid!)

Check out this wicked vid about Hip-Hop in the former communist East Germany (via Hurt You Bad) then listen to Li’l Kim “put it down in German” by covering Biggie’s Hypnotize with some German fella at her side.

“My first diary notes ‘84: I am really making progress doing the electric boogie.”

You cannot make that shit up. Nor can you make up the name for themselves: Automatic Freaszy Crew. Even they admit that ‘freaszy’ isn’t a word.

Expect to see it a lot in upcoming posts from 199X.

Lil Kim (TOMEKK and Trooper) - KIMNOTYZE

As a follow up to our earlier post about Pharrell, check out the video he made to promote the line of opulent jewelery he made with Louis Vuitton under the name Blason:

We Heart Stuff calls the line of bling “over-the-top” and “distasteful.” That’s kinda makes me want it more.

Also check out the Coco Rosie/Prada video that we covered earlier.

So I checked out the Cadence Weapon show in Toronto last Thursday, and have to say that I’m now a fan. I hadn’t heard anything by him, but he came recommended by the Persian Prince himself so for $12 at Lee’s Palace, how could I go wrong? I couldn’t, and part of the reason was because he reminds me of Tracy Morgan.

While the video for Real Estate is pretty good (thanks to The Tape for the find), the track is actually begging to be put over top of a re-purposed clips from Glengarry Glen Ross. If I had a video editing program, I’d probably do it myself.

But since I don’t, you might as well check out this 40 minute mix of house music “hosted” by Alec Baldwin clips from Glengarry (via the always-entertaining Canuckflack).

Anyways, I gotta dedicate this post to my boy Davey Boy Taylor holdin’ down the real estate game, Van-City style.

There’s more of Roland Pemberton (aka Cadence Weapon) on MySpace or his official site.

Man, after that earlier post about White Collar Wu-Tang and now this one, it feels like it is Take Your Rapper To Work Week or something.

Wu-Tang - Gravel Pit (Disco Villains Remix)

As much as I hate to post a video with out a related audio file, I couldn’t resist this one:

LIGHTS - Drive My Soul (official music video)

According to a poster I walked by on College Street this morning, she’s going to be at the Mod Club on Friday. It’s a six pm show, so I don’t know if I can be bothered.

Lights on MySpace
