Nineteen Ninety Never

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.

I saw Tiga the other day…then watched the interview he did for his new album. If you haven’t seen it, go to  Tiga’s website,  and watch it. With lines like “My lyrics basically reveal essentially how interesting how I am” and it gives you a whole new appreciation for the man as an entertainer. Seriously - just watch the interview and prepare to be hilariously blown away.  I also really appreciate it when he says “As a child I always believed and dreamed of a glorious, golden, mysterious future. And i feel like I’ve arrived. ”

Tiga - Mind Dimension (Disco Villains Remix)

Fever Ray - Triangle Walks (Tiga Remix)

There is more Disco Villains here on 199X or check out the their Myspace. There is also more Tiga (I love that guy) on 199X here and here.

And for you lazy ones that won’t go to his website to watch the interview video, here it is in two parts:

Hit up Tiga on Facebook

Tiga is going to be playing Toronto’s CiRCA nightclub on June 5th, and I’m definitely going to go. Ever since I heard his first album, Sexor, I’ve loved all of the guy’s music.

Wait..that’s not totally true. Half of Sexor actually sucks, and feels a bit like filler. But the tracks on the album that are good are amazing. 3 Weeks, (Far From) Home and You Gonna Want me are definitely some of my favorite songs from any artist. The Ballad of Sexor is also a hilarious track, and it kinda makes me think Sexor was probably a Fitte Prins.

I haven’t heard much of his new album, Ciao!, but like everyone else I’m totally hooked on the first single, Shoes.

Tiga - Hot In Here

Tiga - Ballad of Sexor

Tiga - (Far From) Home (Speed of Sexor Reprise)

Tiga - Shoes (Spencer and Hill Remix)

Tiga - Shoes

There’s more Tiga on 199X here for you, and a bunch of Shoes remixes at Ilictronix.

Catch Tiga on iTunes, MySpace and Twitter. Oh, and he also reps Canada with a .ca website.

Alright, so I know that All Hallow’s Eve was a few weeks ago but I’ve finally gotten around to sorting out my pictures from then.

First up is this picture of Claudio Manni and his brother Toni Pepperoni. They went as each other, and won first place in the costume contest at the party we went to. I’m pretty sure that I drank the two bottles of wine that were their prize but that’s okay. Claudio (on the right) was the only one of the two who put any effort into his costume.

As Tiga says:

“Times they tend to change
Brothers into friends
Times they get so strange
Friends like brothers”

Tiga - Brothers

(keep on listening, because after about the seven minute mark there is an entire other song. Back in the day, we used to call it a “secret song.” Now I just call it me being too lazy to remove it.)

Tiga is on MySpace here and you can buy his tracks on iTunes here.
