MAY 2009
So it comes to pass that we at Nineteen Records identify and report on the issues that WILL grab the headlines in the near future. The 'people' of North Korea have shown their intentions to us at Nineteen Records HQ, and all we have to say to Mr. -il is that we will not be dictated to! CHOONZ IZABANGINMAN!!!
APRIL 2009
So North Korea has been at it again... "Our scientists and engineers have succeeded in sending satellite 'Kwangmyongsong-2' into orbit by way of carrier rocket 'Unha-2'," state news agency KCNA reported. Apparently this is not the case... apparently rocket 'Unha-2' was yet another sinister communist missile test. Not much is going on musically though... too much frolicking with the lambs and admiring of flora and fauna... spring is in the air!
MARCH 2009
Hooray! It's not so cold! The economy is still terrible though... freak weather conditions at the end of February have led to the postponement of the Sniffy recording sessions. It is unknown when this will be rescheduled due to Sniffy now being on a tour of the low countries and Scandanavia performing his poetry - supporting Finnish jazz band Dankshten. Nice.
FEBRUARY 2009
Brrrr it's still cold... economy still bad, the government are considering creating a law to ban peers from the House of Lords if they are guilty of criminal activity or beaches of the rules! Closer to home a weekend of recording has been scheduled for Sniffy, so finally we can get 'im some pyayge hup!
JANUARY 2009
Brass mucking funkeys or what?! A black President of the United States of America! Leader of the Free World Yeah! 2008? It was a bit of a rubbish year all in all, so roll on 2009! New material from Sniffy, Mekajinn and Eh & Ee... we will of course iz be keep you posted!
DECEMBER 2008
The United States says that talks aimed at ending North Korea's nuclear weapons programme have reached stalemate. The two sides now differ on the terms of verification that were agreed as part of the deal. We at Nineteen think that if you're quibbling over verification it's likely that you've got something to hide... two words spring to mind... "sinister" and "communist"!! At home Mekajinn has informed us that he is to release a new album in 2009, and has started pre-production in the last month or so. Elsewhere The ragga rapscallion Sniffy has promised us more poetic patoir but this is subject to logistical problems being dealt with.
NOVEMBER 2008
It has been reported that a U.S. nuclear weapon was lost somewhere in the ice after the 1968 crash of a B-52 'Stratofortress' outside Thule Air Base, Greenland. We don't have it, ok?! But then again we would say that, wouldn't we? Anyway, bigger, more important news is that this month finally sees the long awaited upgrade to the Nineteen Records website! Gone are the tired old luminous green on black backgrounds, and instead we have bright, sparkling, fantastically innovative and all new green on black backgrounds! "HOORAY!" we hear you all cry in barely contained excitement.
OCTOBER 2008
'North Korea is preparing 10 short-range missiles for a mass test-launch', South Korean news reports say, adding that the 'South Korean military is on alert.' Yay! World War III is on it's way! The Chosun Ilbo newspaper reports "Styx ship-to-ship missiles are deployed ready for firing in an area near Chodo". Call Godzilla!
Closer to home, Eh & Ee have been in the studio and completed several new songs, as well as remixing and mastering much of their other recent material. Mekajinn has also informed us that he has new tracks in the pipeline, and that they should be on this site in the next couple of months.
North Korea - We at Nineteen Records are watching you! |

SEPTEMBER 2008
Oh no! Nineteen punksters Binary Psychosis have announced that vocalist Alex has left the band due to personal reasons. Hal, the drummer of the digital urchins, has stated that they thank him for his substantial input, expertise and attention to detail. Jim has confirmed this and was at great pains to stress that they wish him every success in any future projects he partakes in. The good news is, however, that prior to these events they had managed to finish an 8 track mini-album entitled 'Cut Price Injections For The Worried Well' which will be available for purchase in the near future.
AUGUST 2008
After the terrible scenes in Georgia, British Foreign Secretary David Miliband has warned Russia against starting a new Cold War. It's good to know that Great Britain still carries enough clout that Russia continues to bend to the will of the empre! Further to these events this month sees us consolodating after a few months of enduring the recording process. The Nineteen Records production team including our very own Mekajinn, the indubitable Staggbag, and our favourite re-mixer, the mysterious MK13 have been as busy as great big busy bees buzzing round the Nineteen Records recording studio. The next couple of months should see the fruits of these labours available for download.
JULY 2008
Russia has threatened Poland with military consequences for allowing the United States to place defence missiles within it's borders. Do NATO get involved with cases of domestic violence? We at Nineteen Records wonder what the Russians will do? And we wonder if anyone actually cares... or if we even care? Everyone is on holiday round here. I can feel a new Pacman record on it's way!
JUNE 2008
According to the India Times, Chinese restaurants in Beijing have been told not to serve dog meat during the Olympics, but can continue to serve Donkey meat. Poor Eeyore. Elsewhere, the Governor of California, Arnold Schwarzenegger, has acted to end the budget crisis by firing 22,000 California state workers and cutting the pay of 200,000 more. Would you argue? Get out!
