Nah, just kidding. I’ll never get tired of this type of stuff.

I spent a dreamy week on the Valley Isle over Christmas.
Here’s a track from Digits
Catch him at The Boat in Toronto on February 17th. Then, listen to more Digits on 199x.
I have to admit that I didn’t really become tuned into the phenomenon that is Katy Perry until she appeared on The Simpsons a few weeks ago. Since then, I’ve become a Katy Perry awareness sponge, absorbing the ways that she has permeated our culture. I mean, do you have any idea how many chicks rocked the blue wig on Halloween? I thought it was just some sort of fad thing at the time.
Anyways, here’s the KP fix you’ve been jonesing for.

Toronto has been cold and snowy for the past few weeks, and these two videos have got me stoked to be spending the next week or so on the Valley Isle.
The best part of the first video (track below) is where he gets the chick to get in the pool with him. Pure Fitte Prinse right there.
Kylie Minogue - Slow (A Capella)

Sexy house music with breathless female vocals gives me goosebumps, and that’s why I love the EP that Fredrick Carlsson sent me last week.
After a few months without posts here on 199X, I’m slowly digging through my virtual crates and listening to the music I missed. Consider this a four-track playlist of sexy songs.
Aaliyah - One in a Million (Keys N Krates Remix) (via Salacious Sound)
Tiga - Shoes (Green Velvet Remix)
Usher - DJ Got Us Fallin’ In Love (Ad Brown Remix)

PS: We’re back on the Hype Machine. Show 199x some love.
Toronto local Scotty Dynamo is back with a music video of one of his best tracks, Make it Right. If his name sounds familiar, its because I’ve blogged about him a few times here on 199X.
His music is fun, and it reminds me of a couple of other acts I’m digging these days: The Girls Can Hear Us and Dr. Hollywood. Give them all a listen.
The Girls Can Hear Us -Seems I Always Do
Dr. Hollywood (feat. Martha Washington) - Make You Move

The following post is from Thomas Fortunato, a freelance writer from U S of A who will be writing the occasional field report for us.
NEW YORK CITY—Babycastles, named for bite-sized Portuguese cakes in Japan, is the city’s first independent video games arcade, has been showcasing indie videogames, large-scale art installations, and local chiptune music at the Showpaper 42nd Street Gallery in Manhattan.
I attended the venue on November 4th with my friend Mox, who invited me to come with her and watch her boyfriend, New York chip musician Zen Albatross, perform at the gallery for the “Heavenly Symphony” event organized as a joint venture between Babycastles and videogame culture shop Attract Mode. Performing with Zen Albatross were chip musicians Nullsleep, and George & Jonathan.
Admission was free to get into Babycastles, although drinks were rather pricey: $5 for a can of beer, and $6 for bottles. If I recall correctly, shots of vodka or whiskey were $1. Behind the bar was quite possibly the most addictive video game at the arcade: the “hug machine.”
The hug machine was an old television set with two buttons for controls, one on each side of the box, causing the player to “hug” the machine by putting one hand on each of the buttons. One button makes the on-screen cursor go up, the other makes it go down, and the player must navigate the cursor through a rapidly scrolling “tunnel” without hitting either the ceiling or the floor. The hug machine had very basic black-and-white graphics reminiscent of Pong or MS Dos.
The rest of the games at the arcade were considerably more artistically inspired, both in regards to the graphics in the games themselves the graffiti- and anime-inspired imagery painted on the physical box that housed the hardware. All the machines were for sale, Mox informed me, with one such game carrying an alleged price tag of $5,000.
