Everyone Loves Nicki Minaj

Tuesday, February 8th, 2011

I used to be a pretty big Kylie Minogue fan, but I think Nicki Minaj has just replaced her as my number one celebrity crush. Realistically, she’s more just like the 21st century Foxy Brown.

What sold me was the video for Check It Out. Although it’s pretty much just visual treat to accompany the pop ear candy of the track, its still fun. I also like how they went with Korean characters. If you didn’t like that video, at least give the video for Your Love a shot.

Anyways, here are some tracks, including a nice piece of work from The Hood Internet.

Nicki Minaj - Check it Out (feat. will.i.iam)

The Hood Internet - Crazy Hold Out (Nicki Minaj vs. Washed Out)

Nicki Minaj - Your Love

Everyone Loves Katy Perry

Tuesday, January 25th, 2011

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.

Katy Perry - Teenage Dream (Temabes Remix) (via SEX DA HOUSE)

Notorious B.I.G.  - Back to Cali Gurls (Katy Perry Remix)

Katy Perry - I Kissed a Girl (NONEWYORK Remix)

Katy Perry - California Gurls (ALGERONICS Remix) (via SalaciousSound)

Katy Perry - Peacock (Insan3Like House Remix) (via Ratcachters)

Dreaming of Summer

Friday, December 24th, 2010

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.

Dop - Horny

Kylie Minogue - Slow (A Capella)

Kylie Minogue - Slow (Nathan Vice Remix) (via Palmsout)

Dop vid via the fuckin’ awesome Fuckn Filthy. Their Tiger Tees are sick.

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)


Stephen Jerzak Ft. Leighton Meester - She Said (The Killabits Remix) (via Plugged Not Thugged)

PS: We’re back on the Hype Machine. Show 199x some love.

Scotty Dynamo Is Back!

Monday, November 29th, 2010

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.

Scotty Dynamo - Make It Right

The Girls Can Hear Us -Seems I Always Do

Dr. Hollywood (feat. Martha Washington) - Make You Move

Babycastles Hit New York

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.

Nullsleep - Dirty (ROM Dance Mix)

zen Albatross - Masada Gestalt

Hit up Zen Albatross on Twitter, Nullsleep on Twitter and George and Jonathan on Twitter

Then make you sure you follow Nineteen Ninety Never on Twitter. That shit is the future.

Nerdcore Anthem of the Year (Geek and Gamer Girl Song)

Its pretty much a fool-proof plan for a video: combine the geek-comedy genius of Seth Green with hot chicks singing about video games, parodying one of the hottest songs of the summer.

Add in a dash of Stan Lee excelsior, and 2 million views later you’ve got a hit.

Seth Green - Geek and Gamer Girls Song

I give them double bonus points for the Han Shot first reference and for having an amazing video.

Still Obsessed With Golden Robots

As a reader pointed out last year, I spend a lot of time talking about Golden Robots here on 199X.

What’s not like to them? Its like the perfect merger of technology and art - a beautiful mechanism. I like nice watches, but I’d rather be friends with a Golden robot. It would probably be awesome to party with.

Anyways, here are a couple of tracks that might get you thinking about Golden Robots.

Robot Rippers vs. Millionaires - Alcohol Robotripping Remix

Ellie Goulding - Lights (Messed Remix) (Via Phase02.org)

The Golden Filter - Solid Golid (Drag Screw EDIT)

KA SO RE dropped me their track “Bunnies” a few weeks ago, and its a fun little ditty.

On a related note, the January/February 2010 issue of Playboy had some amazing pictures of Tara Reid.
