If you’ve been reading Nineteen Ninety Never for a while, you’ll know that I totally dig zombies and sci-fi. These two tracks remind me of both, and that’s why they’re bang-on.
Hot Chip - Touch Too Much (Fake Blood Remix)
Tits and Clits - Attack of the Living Dead
Props to Oh Crapp! for the Hot Chip remix and to the Data Sapiens for the other track.
For more Zombie related tracks, check out the post I wrote a few months ago about World War Z.
“It goes by many names: “The Crisis,” “The Dark Years,” “The Walking Plague,” as well as newer and more “hip” titles such as “World War Z” or “Z War One.” I personally dislike this last moniker as it implies an inevitable “Z War Two.” For me, it will always be “The Zombie War,” and while many may protest the scientific inaccuracy of the word zombie, they will be hard-pressed to discover a more globally accepted term for the creatures that almost caused our extinction. Zombie remains a devestating word, unrivaled in its power to conjure up so many memories or emotions, and it is these memories, and emotions, that are the subject of this book.”
So begins World War Z by Max Brooks, the best book I’ve read all year and probably the best book about zombies ever written.
Inspired, I’ve put collected a couple of zombie-related tracks to celebrate humanity’s victory over the undead hordes.
“When Zombies Attack” - NC-MCs feat. Sizzle Stixx
“Zombies Ate My Neighbours” - Chozo_Ninpo and MC Inadequate

At 199X.org, we love banging beats almost as we much the undead and that’s why we were stoked when we say the poster above promoting Egyptrixx and SEK ONE with some other guys.
To get you fired up, here’s a track from Egyptrixx courtesy of Creamteam.TV
