I’ll admit I was interested in the concept of a Doctor Who Fan Orchestra when I heard of the project. I have no musical talent, you understand, none what so ever – but I knew the Who community was strong and recent Doctor Who seasons have had some fantastic music. It got even more geeky; […]
The Dark Side – Come to the Dark Side, we have dubstep
Something, something, Dark Side – one of the best lines from Family Guy ever. What else could you do with the dreaded words “Dark Side”? What about creating a rather funky dubstep, combining it with a mashup of clips, pinning it up at YouTube and pointing a whole bunch of geeks at it. Yeah. That […]
The Browncoat Anthem – Firefly rap
It’s a sign of a popular TV show – a very popular TV show – that the fans are still contributing to the community years after the show was cancelled. This rap has the lyrics “Curse you Fox” in it. It also has the lyrics “.. at least we got Serenity” so I think it […]
Harry Potter: I’m a Hufflepuff. We R Slytherins.
It’s Harry Potter fever all over again. The premier shows today in London. Or Loondoom as I like to call it. Online retailer Play.com will be streaming live from the red carpet via their Facebook page and the internet is madly busy making viral candidate videos that ooze Harry Potter. A starter for ten is […]
Want You Gone: Fan made Portal 2 music video rocks
I’m a big fan of the Ellen McLain and Jonathan Coulton partnership in Portal and Portal 2. I’ll admit that Want You Gone is my second favourite of the two ending songs but it’s still pretty good. It’s actually pretty hard to find samples of Ellen McLain’s opera singing – yes, the voice of GLaDOS […]
The Matrix Lobby scene as a capella
Everyone remembers the lobby scene from The Matrix. It’s when Neo starts to kick butt. The original track played in that infamous raid is Spybreak! by Propellerheads (iTunes link) but in this video they’ve been replaced. The sound effects have been replaced. The track and FX have been replaced by just one guy; Matt “pew […]
Geeksplode: Adam Savage sings I Will Survive as Gollum
Boom! That’s the sound of my geek dna exploding in an overdrive of geek charged geekiness. Awesome. Awesome. Do you have a better word for it? Oh. Yeah; that is Neil Gaiman as one of the radio hosts. It’s such an appropriate song for Gollum to be singing. Clever Gollum, clever.
Popular JPop and anime band contained secret virtual singer
The popular Japanese pop band AKB48 who sung one of the Dragon Ball Kai themes, who were guests of honour at the 2010 Anime Expo in the US and have been involved with Kamen Rider W have revealed that one of their band is… well, rather anime herself. She’s 2D. She’s fake. She’s a computer […]
Musical Harry Potter: Daniel Radcliffe dresses up and sings
If the thought of a musical Harry Potter wasn’t enough – do you think that Daniel Radcliffe’s costume here looks anything like Doctor Who? A touch of Matt Smith’s eleventh doctor with Sylvester McCoy’s seventh? Perhaps. As it turns out this video does feature a singing, dancing and ultimately rather sweaty Daniel Radcliffe but it’s […]
Doctor Who: The Gallifrey version of Born This Way
Last week the X-Men version of Born This Way did the rounds in geek land. This week the Doctor Who version from What Travis Says will storm the gates of Demons Run. Nerd Bastard Mark Poynter picked this up and correctly calls out that 25k hits aren’t enough for this parody. It needs to do […]
