Are you fed up of this yet? Of Gundam Style… oops, sorry, Gungam Style? This blogger will admit to having been very careful about which of the million mashups and covers he’s watched – less than, oh, 10 in total, so one more brief clip doesn’t hurt. This is Plants Vs. Zombies with the zombies […]
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.
Nekrogoblikon “No One Survives”
I’m not normally a fan of death metal – but this one caught my attention. Perhaps it’s because it’s a good retelling of the traditional fantasy story of the work stressed goblin, bothered by co-workers while dreaming about getting the girl. I wonder why they call this track “No One Survives”? Fan? There’s a Facebook […]
140 tracks in Hollens’ & Stirling’s Game of Thrones mashup
Geek Native have featured these two before. Lindsey Stirling plays the violin and first started to appear on geeky blogs by dressing up as Zelda characters for her videos. Peter Hollens is a melody guy – creating hundreds of tracks for a single song with his voice alone. Their Skyrim video was a mega success. […]
Violin medley of Zelda music
If you rather liked Taylor Davis’ collection of Zelda music in this video then you might well be tempted by her “Gaming Fantasy” album out for iTunes, Amazon and Google Play. How many of the songs did you recognise in the medley? I’ve watched more Zelda than I’ve played but I recognised a fair few […]
Sony Xperia’s “Unleash your music on the world” ad ramps up NFC
Apple has announced an event for September 12th and so the speculation around the iPhone 5 begins. One heated area is NFC (near field communication) and whether the iPhone will support it or not. Lots of people want the feature but some of the best tipped pundits are saying it is unlikely. This Xperia ad […]
The Bioshock Song
Fond memories of Bioshock? Played all the sequels? Defeated all the monsters? Sung the song? Ah, yes, the Bioshock song. It’s quite catchy. After all; only the best will do. You can pick up your own copy of this little ditty on iTunes.
Cover of the Ducktales Theme song
Do you remember Disney’s Duck Tales? It was a classic of the 80s – although the 101 episodes finished in 1990. The action followed Scrooge McDuck and his grandnephews Huey, Dewey and Louie with characters like Donald Duck being a secondary appearance at nest. Typically, the grandnephews would rally around to stop an enemy like Magica De Spell or […]
Hey There Cthulhu
Hey There Cthulhu is a special song. By Eben Brooks the song is a classic. The photomontage video appeared on YouTube just over four years ago – and now has over a million plays. I’m not sure there are a million people in the world today who have actually read an H.P. Lovecraft book. I […]
99 seconds to recap the Lord of the Rings
Imagine the situation. You have to recap the Lord of the Rings. All of it – but, thankfully not the Hobbit – and you only have 99 seconds do it! On top of that challenge your audience isn’t really interested. They have a low attention span. You’re going to need to jazz it up, while […]
Don’t, Darren, Don’t
This is a music video from MJ Hibbett & The Validators off their new album Dinosaur Planet. It channels the frustration felt by many geeks while watching a certain style of suspense building TV show.
