Nineteen Ninety Never

It has been a while since I last heard from NONEWYORK, and that’s why I was so excited when they sent me an email the other day with a couple of new tracks.

Born in Blood is a slower track from what I think they normally do. Its dark and full to the brim with dub and samples from Dexter.

Their refix of Rusko’s Cali Anthem is also a solid track, and the Tupac sample really cements the California feel. In fact, it even inspired me to add a California category to this blog.

NONEWYORK - Born In Blood

Rusko - Cali Anthem (NONEWYORK Refix)

The NONEWYORK boys are featured on Bay Area Bass Vol 1 and you can grab the whole thing here. They are also NONEWYORK_BASS on Twitter, and they’ve also got some mean bass on their MySpace page.

You can also find a couple of other tracks by them on 199X here and here.

The image above is from the The Descent, probably one of my favorite horror movies. Its full of blood and claustrophobic terror.

Finnish group I Was A Teenage Satan Worshipper dropped me a couple of their eerie tracks last week, and I gave them a listen. One of the tracks was titled ‘Martin’ and it was eerier for that fact the day they sent me that track, I’d gotten into a long conversation with someone about ‘Martin,’ a 1977 film by George Romero. Watch it just for the when teenaged-Martin moves in with his uncle who greets him by saying “Nosferatu. Vampire! First I will save your soul, then I will destroy you. I will show you to your room.”

Unfortunately, the song doesn’t seem to be about that movie. Its still pretty creepy, and so is their other track, Strange Lights.

You can grab more X-Files -flavored music from them at IWATSW.com

Vampires are definitely hot right now,  I’ve always thought they were cool and I can’t believe it took me this long to write a vampire-themed post.

The first time I heard TiMO MAAS’ track ‘Help Me,’ I totally loved the haunting vocals. Little did I know that they were from Kellis, who also went on to do backing vocals on my favorite Andrew 3000 track, ‘Dracula’s Wedding.’

As cool as it being a vampire would be, the sleepless nights would just kill me. I mean, sure you’d be out sneaking around and sucking blood but after a while of just being up in the middle of the night you’d be bored.

One of the reasons I started this blog in the first place was because I thought that Nineteen Ninety Never would be a kick-ass name for a line of t-shirts. I designed and actually made some of them, including the one above. It was a huge stencil, and I regret the fact that I had to abandon it in Australia.

To go with the theme and because they’re coming to Toronto this weekend, here are some absolutely deadly Fake Blood tracks:

Little Boots - Stuck On Repeat (Fake Blood Remix) (props to this guy for the track)

(I’m just absolutely loving Little Boots these days, and my favorite part of the song is when she says “Fake Blood” at 1:44)

Count and Sinden - Beeper (Fake Blood mix)

The Kills - Cheap and Cheerful (Fake Blood mix)

Buy Little Boots  stuff on iTunes then hit her up on Twitter.

Fake Blood on Myspace (no, not THAT Fake Blood), more Fake Blood on 199X

The Kills on MySpace, iTunes and here.
