Warning – this video contains spoilers for a Game of Thrones series 1 and 2. A clever spoof of Gotye’s “Someone That I Used to Know”. It’s a popular video and song to spoof but this is still different enough to be worth it. Geek Native’s featured the work of Not Literally before but only […]
Geeky music videos
Welcome to the Music category, where we turn up the volume on the sounds of geek culture. This is your destination for epic gaming soundtracks, synthwave scores, chiptune artists, and bands whose lyrics are inspired by our favourite fandoms. We celebrate the music that provides the backdrop to our adventures, from the sweeping orchestrations of a fantasy epic to the pulsing beats of a cyberpunk future.
We have a special appreciation for the visual side of music, and this section is always on the lookout for clever, creative, and unapologetically geeky music videos. If a song tells a story or an artist has a unique vision, you'll likely find their videos featured here. Tune in and discover your next geek anthem.
The music of Blood and Feathers
Here’s how Blood and Feathers: Rebellion was described to this Geek Native blogger; Driven out of hell and with nothing to lose, the Fallen wage open warfare against the angels on the streets. And they’re winning. As the balance tips towards the darkness, Alice – barely recovered from her own ordeal in hell and struggling […]
Batman theme song squeaked by actual bats
Cool? Or the most annoying sound ever? I add the latter because that’s how it was described to me. I quite like the “bats’ song” but I’m not sure about the bloody maw of the vampire bat that pops up throughout the video. This is the work of Sándor Seuntjens. Sándor assigned digitally reduced frequencies […]
Code Monkey Save World comic book Kickstarter
I’m a great big fan of Jonathan Coulton’s Code Monkey. In fact, it may now be banned from the work Spotify list due to overplay. So when news of a Kickstarter to turn Code Monkey into a comic book came to me I had to track the details down. It’s a partnership between writer Greg […]
The sound of Oblivion
I don’t think there are any real spoilers here – but if you’re super cautious, avoid until you’ve seen the film Oblivion. If you’ve seen the film Oblivion then this feature will make. How do you soundscape a world after a nuclear war? This video touches on the sound those pesky drones made, through to […]
Clever Kickstarter: music for RPG background loops
[Back this Campaign] Some of my roleplaying game sessions make heavy use of music. I like to use it when I GM. It’s a challenge to find it though – first I look for movie or game scores as any singing tends to disrupt the game. The advantage computer game scores have over movie scores […]
Pogo’s Roarcraft – a World of Warcraft remix
The musical wizard Pogo has been featured before on Geek Native; one Skynet song, Murmurs of Middle Earth and the slightly less geeky but perhaps my favourite the Up remix Upular. The great thing about Roarcraft is that it’s Pogo at his Upular best while picking a subject, World of Warcraft, that’s as a geeky […]
The Axis of Awesome channel nerd anger with “Rage of Thrones”
Not Safe for Work lyrics. Unless your work is cool. The Axis of Awesome channel righteous nerd rage with this Game of Thrones “tribute” song. I think tribute is the right word. I’ve seen this played life and, I must say, it’s a lot less angry. They must have to practise that or perhaps the […]
Mutant Chronicles RPG makes a return
Already busy with a super successful Kickstarter project for Achtung! Cthulhu, British based Modiphius have announced Mutant Chronicles: Dark Symmetry. This will be the 3rd edition, a complete re-write of the 2nd edition, that’ll use d20s with a new approach to the system. The first release, due in Autumn 2013, is Mutant Chronicles: Dark Symmetry […]
Harp Twins cover Doctor Who
Fan of the Harp Twins? In the past they’ve covered Game of Thrones, Zelda and plenty of other popular geek tunes.
