I’ve been pretty busy lately and haven’t had time for posting - back to more regular updates soon.
In the meantime, catch this video of the Fake Blood show that I saw in Toronto last week:
ARCADE FRIDAYS @ MOD CLUB WITH FAKE BLOOD from Adrian Alexander Pereyra on Vimeo.
Hit me up on Twitter (I’m @Parkernow) and also follow 199X on Twitter.
More posts soon. I promise. Until then, there’s more Fake Blood on 199X here.
Edgar Rice Burroughs had one hell of an imagination - he didn’t just write the Tarzan books (including Tarzan at the Earth’s Core), but he also wrote a series of books about Mars featuring an immortal named John Carter. Rumor has it they’re making a movie about his adventures, and I anticipate it being awesome.
In the books, John Carter is supposed to be from Virginia. You know who else is from Virginia? Pusha T and Malice from Clipse, that’s who.
Clipse feat. Pharrell - Mr. Me Too (Neon Coyote Remix)*
To top that off, here are some banging Mars-themed tracks to get you going.
Fake Blood - Mars (Original Edit)
Fake Blood - Mars (Herve Re-fix)
Kid Cudi feat. Crookers - Embrace The Martians (Tevar Edit)
* If you really want to stretch the connections here, it makes perfect sense to include a Neon Coyote remix in this Mars-themed post because The Coyote was a major character in Kim Stanley Robinson’s Mars Trilogy. Throw your hands in the sky if you’ve read it!
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.
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.
