How are you doing with Skyrim? Here’s my secret. I don’t have it. I still have CRPGs in their wrapper from last Christmas. This Christmas, hopefully, will see me the owner of the latest Elder Scrolls RPG. In the mean time I can make do with the Song of Skyrim.
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.
Orchestra recording The Legend of Zelda 25th anniversary special
I think there’s quite a lot of gaming music that reached iconic status. Many people recognise – even if they can’t name the come – Mario’s soundtrack, Sonic, Final Fantasy, dozens of 8-bit wonders as well as some of the new generation. BioShock, for example, is a game synonymus with its musical choices. Zelda’s such […]
Dead Space musical is foobar
“Hell hath no fury like a woman who isn’t there.” That’s the only description Random Encounters Ent put up for this crazy and somewhat musical version of Dead Space. It’s a song about Nicole.
David Tennant and the Doctor Who cast in “I’m Gonna Be (500 Miles)”
This is all kinds of cool. We have David Tennant showing his fun side as his series of Doctor Who wraps up. We have dancing adipose looking very cute. We have dancing Ood looking very strange. We have dancing Catherine Tate, dancing Elisabeth Sladen, dancing John Barrowman, dancing Bernard Cribbins, Freema Agyeman, Noel Clarke, Billie […]
Musical instructional video for Settlers of Catan
Full marks for effort… it’s just that I’m not sold on some of the group versus in this quirky and musical Settlers of Catan video. Mind you; some of the solos are much better! We’ve a group of friends who picked the Spice Girls’ “Wannabe” to transform into a song about the catchy and fun […]
Scott Pilgrim meets Eric Speed
I think the suggestion here is that 8-bit gaming is now considered very cool. This video combines violins, with an old pop cover and some Scott Pilgrim style 8-bit battles. If you really like the music then you can scoop it up from iTunes as a single. If you’re like me you’ll not notice the […]
The Dark Crystal’s Skeksis sing: Skeksis Back
I’m impressed with this. Hats off to Luke Ski for the lyrics and vocals. I’m impressed with Luke Sienkowski and Sara Trice’s puppt as well. It looks pretty cool. What’s there to be said from a guest appearance by a Fraggle too? Perfect. The song was inspired by The Nerdist podcast. That strikes me as […]
The Thing: The Musical
Are you a fan of John Carpenter’s The Thing? Gore meets alien invader. Gore meets ice. Gore meets more gore… but it’s a sci-fi movie so that’s alright! Jon Kaplan and Al Kaplan, the team behind Conan the Barbarian: the Musical, are at it again with The Thing: The Musical. This time around it sounds […]
Moves like Jabba! Dances like Leia?
Had enough with the great Lucas tinkering with Star Wars? You might not remember all these scenes from Return of the Jedi but fear not, this time it’s not Lucas but Break, having ago at re-working things. Yes, there’s a dancing slave Leia. As it happens, this blogger can recall a previous Break video that […]
Pac-Man the Opera
Is it a capella or is a pacapella? The claymation is good – but I’m harsh these days. I expected it be good. The singing – that’s the surprising part – I expect singing to be just about able to tow the line these days. Are there wobbles in this musical? Sure, yeah, but by […]
