New Violet Sedan Chair Video Appears Today On YouTube

Today could have been named National Violet Sedan Chair Day due to all the new publicity regarding the band created by Fringe co-creator JJ Abrams.

First, there was Michael Ausiello's TV Line post yesterday(See article further down) regarding the release of Violet Sedan Chair's vinyl album "Seven Suns" to certain record stores nationwide, which I know for a fact generated phone calls today to record venues all over the nation.

Also today, a new video appeared on You Tube entitled "Violet Sedan Chair," by vidder AnonymousNewsNtwrkTV. And folks, it is chock full of symbols, numbers, Morse Code via flashlight, creative z-straps, and other oddities.

Watch the video below and leave your impressions. Kudos to those who take the time to translate the Morse Code, and, all of the other stuff. Will any or all of it tie into our beloved TV show? I'm guessing most of it will. Happy Clue Hunting!

Fox has released a new video with an interview of the cast about preserve both universes.

Fringe Easter Eggs: Violet Sedan Chair Records

Fringe producers have created an actual vinyl record for the fictional band Violet Sedan Chair, and their album Seven Suns has been hidden in independent record outlets nationwide.

According to TV Line,

“They’ve been in stores for a couple of months now,” says a show insider. The best part: Each individual album is different, including specific spoilers and clues about the show embedded in the lyrics (and possibly elsewhere). “They all have unique properties,” says the source.

Now fans just have to find the stores that carry the album. Well, that and figure out who are the real musicians behind the faux group. Says the insider: “We’re keeping that a secret for now.” (Sure, now they decide to be tight-lipped!)

Check out your local indie record store, and see if you can pick up a copy. Then send us your pics, and we can piece together the puzzle.

Violet Sedan Chair will be featured in the upcoming Fringe episode Firefly. In the episode, Walter will come face-to-face with his musical hero Roscoe Joyce, the keyboardist of the ’70s band.

Fringe Makes More Top Ten Lists

Fringe has made two more "Top Ten Lists" for 2010.


New York Post: Drama mama - The 10 characters that made Mama's year merry and bright

1. Faux-livia of "Fringe"
The classic soapy example of an evil twin breathing new life into the original character.

Entertainment Weekly: 10 Best TV Series of 2010: Ken Tucker's Picks

2. Fringe
TV's most cleverly arranged drama, full of thrills and strained relationships, laughs and nuanced acting. John Noble, Anna Torv, and the deceptively restrained Joshua Jackson should, in other words, be Emmy nominees, and Fringe deserves more credit for building the enthusiastic audience it has created.

Christmas Ideas For Fringe Fans

If you are still doing your Christmas shopping, and need some last minute Fringe stocking stuffers, here is a list of Fringe and Fringe-related gifts ideas.

Sadly, there isn't any actual official Fringe merchandise available for sale, but number one on everyone's Christmas list should be the Fringe DVDs and Blu-rays. 

Music lovers will also want the Fringe Soundtrack, featuring music from the award winning composer Michael Giacchino, plus Chris Tilton and Chad Seiter.

The album is also available as MP3s from Amazon, or for your iPod on iTunes.

You will also see something called the Fringe Mixes, which is seven remixed versions of the Fringe title theme song, but you would really have to like the theme song to buy that.

If you have a comic book store near you, you can pick up some Fringe comics. There have been two six-issue series - Fringe #1 - 6, and the latest, Tales From The Fringe #1 - 6. The first series is also available in a combined paperback book.

You can preview all of the Fringe comics here.

If you are a fan of a particular Fringe character, you may want to check out some of their other works. Here are some suggested DVDs featuring our favorite Fringe actors:

• Johsua Jackson (Peter Bishop): The Might Ducks, Dawson's Creek
• John Noble (Walter Bishop): Lord Of the Rings Trilogy
• Anna Torv (Olivia Dunham): Mistresses, The Pacific
• Lance Reddick (Phillip Broyles): The Wire (also stars Andre Royo), Lost
• Blair Brown (Nina Sharp): Altered States (trippy movie featuring a very young Blair Brown AND a sensory deprivation tank!)
• Jasika Nicole (Astrid Farnsworth): She's Out Of My League

And of course, what movie watching experience would be complete with out some Red Vines!
