It’s not often you read the words; “A new release from the internet’s foremost comic book rapper is here!”. Actually, there’s trademark™ beside “rapper”. Is Adam Warrock trying to trademark “Comic Book Rapper”? Actually, that might be a little wanky but it’s probably a good idea if his music begins to played a bit more. […]
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.
Doctor Who music: Tick Tock Goes the Clock
This is not an official Doctor Who track but I’m sure neither the BBC nor Ke$ha will have strong opinions either way. That said; this is a summary of Season 6 of new Doctor Who. Don’t see The Wedding of River Song yet? Don’t watch this video. It’s a spoiler. Want to find out what […]
Cosplay Fever: 12 of the best from AyaCon
This venture into cosplay is not only a chance to show off this lipdub of “Let me Entertain you” and a host of fancy costumes but… … um, okay. It’s just that. However, in addition to the video we’ve broken out 12 stills that you can take a gander at if you happen to be […]
Who sings the Neon Genesis Evangelion theme song? A cockatiel, that’s who
Here’s a prank. Play this video to a geeky anime loving friend. Don’t tell them it’s Neon Genesis Evangelion and watch them struggle… it’s a good anime, they’ll say, it’s an old anime, they’ll ponder but I suspect it’s a little too abstract for most to get straight away. Would you?
Daffy Duck the Wizard
Explore why Daffy Duck’s heavy metal persona The Wizard is a perfect parody of TTRPG tropes, featuring D&D references and Daedric runes.
Dungeon Master Gurls
I missed this last year. I’ve two theories as to how that managed to happen. Theory 1: I reached California Gurls parody overload. In a defensive move my brain developed a way to ignore anything that mentioned Katy Perry, California Gurls and perhaps even the word “parody” on Youtube. Theory 2: I was distracted by […]
The history of man – the Murf, Rendezvous
I rather like this video. The music may not be something I’d usually try and point my Spotify at but it’s certainly rather pleasant. The band is Rendezvous. They’re a duo from Israel who produce these rather charming electropop tracks. The animation was put together by freelance animator Scott Benson. I’d say he’s really defining […]
RPG Musical: Role Initiative
Okay, keep playing through the first few seconds of over dramatised musical and the actual video begins. This video is actually an entry for the 2011 Windy City 72 hour film competition. If that means they only had 72 hours to put it together – it’s very good. They had extra requirements; they had to […]
Doctor Who and the Wibbly Capella
All credit to Dan Rider for this impressive capella. By all credit I am, of course, not including the homemade fez. Although fezzes are cool I couldn’t put help his was a roll of paper. This is the wibbly capella as it starts off all timey-wimey. In fact, aren’t all solo capellas a little bit […]
Super impressive Marimba Legend of Zelda
Imagine you had a video camera and at least two friends who were as talented as you are on the marimba. I know! Crazy stuff! … but what would you do? Would you perform and record one of the most sophisticated Legend of Zelda covers known to YouTube? Perhaps. Perhaps!
