Party Like It’s 1999

Being a Time Lord gets you chicks!

Aside from the obvious reason of seeing Wendy, I wish I could go to

Boston this weekend to attend the Time Traveler Convention at MIT

taking place at 8:00 p.m. this Saturday.

Although the convention site makes a reference to a clever line by “Cat” from the webcomic Cat and Girl…

“Technically, you would need only one time traveller convention.” Click the picture to see the whole comic.

…there has already been one. Back in the late eighties, Spy

magazine put out an open invitation to time travellers to meet at their

offices for cocktails. Presumably, no chronal cruisers showed up.

Although I can’t attend — and neither can anyone who hasn’t RSVP’d

yet; the event is booked solid by people from the present — I’d like

to contribute by offering these two time-travel themed MP3s. Enjoy!

• Doctorin’ the Tardis by The Timelords (who were really The KLF under another name). A proto-mash-up of the Doctor Who theme with Gary Glitter’s Rock and Roll, Part 2. [7.2 MB MP3]
• Dr. Qui by musical comedian/comedic musician Bill Bailey. In this track Bill performs the Doctor Who

  theme as Serge Gainsbourg would’ve done it. It helps if you know a

  little French and are a little familiar with Serge’s work. [6.6 MB MP3]
