Fan based musical versions of Doctor Who pop up now and then. Sometimes they’re hopeless, sometimes they’re good – where you do put this one on the scale? If you’re a fan you can download it from AVbyte who make little musicals like this every week. Some key lines to note; Dammit, I’m still not […]
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.
Violin zombie battles
Lindsey Stirling often gets her violin videos on Geek Native as she knows how to press geeky buttons. We’ve had a Skyrim video, Game of Thrones and Zelda. Now? Now there’s zombies with a track called Moon Trance. If you’re a fan you can buy Stirling’s album from iTunes.
Sound of Cylons
You might remember this classic Simon & Garfunkel song. It was widely accepted that at least one half of the talented duo was a skin-job but there was never consensus on which one was the murderous killer. Evidence to suggest the partnership had toaster tendencies first emerged after they recorded, “Sound of Cylons”. Alternative history […]
Coldplay’s Mylo Xyloto comic
A music video done as a motion comic is a pretty good idea. The track in question is “Hurts Like Heaven” by Coldplay. The video is actually a prequel to the six-part comic series telling the story of Mylo Xyloto. You can pre-order the comic from Coldplay’s fanfire site. The comic is published by Bongo […]
Behind the scenes at Sony’s “Listen. Watch. Play.”
Sony Entertainment Network put together a funky and rather geeky party. The result was this showcase video you can see above. It’s not hard to imagine it being used in ad campaigns this year. When Geek Native heard about this – we pestered the agencies involved until we unlocked some behind the scenes information. What’s […]
Remixing Halo 4
Halo has always been strong on the music. I imagine this comes from the cinematic vision of the game; from the outset the wanted the music to match. I don’t think there are many games that have had their themes made available as a Guitar Hero download, after all. There’s a lot going on with […]
Turn Me On – Console Wars
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C3ZxW93XjFc This is a parody of Nicki Minaj. I do not believe I’m familiar with the original but believe I’m in the demographic The Warp Zone are aiming for with this video. The question they ask is; which console would you pick? I’m not sure but approve of Ryan Tellez’s Borderlands t-shirt. The YouTube credits […]

Cats sing a deadly Star Wars theme song
