Chung King Selection

Here's a new mixed selection of music for you to download and enjoy...



The gist was to take synthy rock/dance/indie tracks pumped out of who knows where, and mix them into something cohesive: the beats range from 92 to 184 bpm, and are influenced by everything from post-punk, syrupy pop, to dub step, and nu disco.  If you get jangled by the faster tracks in the beginning, the last half is a slower ride, with some sentimental cheese thrown in.

Acid for Blood

I loved the movie Aliens when it came out in whenever that was in the 90's. It was up there with Terminator II, except it was parasitic, acid-blooded monsters against lead-slinging US Marines and Sigourney Weaver on some distant galactic rock.

Adult Swim's stop-action series Robot Chicken supposes how an alien's acid-blood might be not be a helpful defense tactic.
