Steampunk is cool. There’s an episode of Castle that’s heavy with Steampunk. Just as we have the rise of the aspirational geek so do we have to cope with aspirational steampunks.
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.
Skyrim themes goes classical
Jason uses an acoustic violin, along with an electric one and a clever use of drums in order to remaster Jeremy Soule’s Skyrim theme. Impressive stuff.
Malukah’s amazing Skyrim vocals
Two very impressive and wonderfully sung Skyrim covers; The Dragonborn Comes and Age of Oppression.
Musical Jedi Force battle
This is Star Wars: the Phantom Cellist. It’s pretty cool – certainly loads of musical and FX talent on display. I wonder whether it would have been better without the comedy interlude or whether that’s just the style we get from the Piano Guys. Take a look – let us know in the comments below […]
Geek Music: Is the Pentatonic Scale in our genes?
How’s this for geek cool? First it stars Bobby McFerrin. Wow. Also it stars Bobby McFerrin in a conference called “Notes & Neurons: In Search of the Common Chorus” thich is super geeky and musical at the same time. Here’s the real question (we know this is geeky) – is the pentatonic scale instictive or […]
The history of the world as a stop motion music video
This is a music video. You can grab the album for free at Kalle Mattson.com. I like the single. It’s chirpy. It’s fun. It’s good for a Friday. It’s the video that catches my attention, though, as a clever bit of stop motion. Stop motion with dinosaurs and dragons. As this is a history of […]
The Sith who Stole Christmas
Here’s a mashup for the geeky Christmas. Take Dr Seuss‘ How the Grinch Stole Christmas! Take Star Wars. Squish. Mash. Edit. Here’s the result.
Harry Potter sex song: Walk of Shame
Back during Pottermania there was a small avalanche of fan-made Harry musicals. One of which was We R Slytherins. It was based off a Ke$ha song and in addition to the clever tune had some pretty impressive graphics. It’s half a year later and the two lead singers are back with a new Harry Potter song. This […]
Lindsey Stirling twirling her way through a Zelda Medley
There’s a lot of praise to be heaped on this video. It’s well sort. It makes use of some great locations. They push the boat out with some horse riding and some great use of fire. It’s also true that Lindsey can cleary dance. She plays that violin very well. That said there’s something about […]
Feel the Force, in this Yoda musical remix
Hurrah to Melody Sheep for their effort in this fantastic Star Wars musical. The video features R2-D2, Luke and Yoda but the sound is all Yoda. He’s the hero. I recommend listening to this with CC on. The special warping effects they put on Yoda’s voice make the wise one particularly hard to understand. Put […]
