Okay, this is a musical Cthulhu inspired remake of “It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas“. There’s clearly a mystery afoot and people with damage to their san totals. I’ve tracked this down to the H.P. Lovecraft Historical Society who have been operating in an alternative universe since 1984. That makes a lot of […]
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.
Star Wars metal mashup
This musical mashup from 331Erock is worth four minutes of your time. You’ll pick out more than one of your Star Wars favourites here and so the trick isn’t just the “metalification” of Star Wars but the blending too. Enjoy.
I am the Doctor – a fan made, mash up of a remote Orchestra
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 […]
