Dracula’s Moon Base

I don’t know what is more awesome about that panel - the fact that Dracula has a castle on the moon, or that he also appears to be in fairly regular contact with Dr. Doom.

The panel is from an issue of Captain Britain where the two super villains team up to take over Britain. I’m sure good eventually triumphs, but Victor and Vlad make for a pretty dangerous combo.

You know what kind of music goes with Vampiric Moon Castles? Fake Blood. And it’s even better mixed with sugary female electro vocals.

That’s why I love these track that Its Overture and Brand X dropped me last week.

Its Overture - 100% Fake Blood ((Crystal Waters (Risk One Remix) vs. Little Boots (Fake Blood Remix))

Brand X - Banging On Mars (Fake Blood versus Rye Rye)

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.

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!

This is pretty much what I wish my life was like. I have a feeling I’ll have to travel farther than the closest star to Earth to find anything as cool as six-limbed gorillas and space babes.
