Have the Mythbusters ever looked into any of the science on Doctor Who? Dunno. They’ve looked into sci-fi before, or, well, some of the real-world science around sci-fi films like Deep Blue Sea. This video stars just one Mythbuster – the famous Adam Savage – a heck of a lot of electricity being pumped out […]
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.

Leonard Nimoy as you’ve never seen him before: the Bruno Mars music video
This is a music video for Bruno Mar’s album Doo-Wops & Hooligans (iTunes link). It’s all about Leonard Nimoy. I didn’t spy much of a Fringe shoutout in it but there’s more than enough Star Trek references. The vid’s clealry working. There’s been over a quarter of a film views on YouTube since this went […]
Portal 2: The Turret Opera
Before we begin – in case you don’t know – let me direct you to the Portal 2 music page where you can download the entire soundtrack for free or even pick up some Portal 2 ringtones for Android or iOS. Right! Moving on! A Cappella Records team up with, er, with Aperture Science in […]
Tron, Daft Punk, Derezzed – all made uber shiny with electric guitar cover
One of the great things about Tron 2 was the soundtrack. Daft Punk is the perfect band for the franchise. As much as I like Daft Punk it doesn’t mean that I’ll deny they can be trumped. I think Swan the White Pig has managed to do just that with his electric guitar cover of […]
Star Wars do Welcome to the Jungle
I wonder what music was playing when the Empire arrived on the Forest Moon on Endor? For some reason Wagner’s Ride of the Valkyries seems approporate for the Stormtroopers. Mind you; what if the music was coming from the dangerous locals rather than the imperial forces. What if the music was Guns N Roses’ Welcome […]
Goldfish – We Come Together: 8 bit music video
This music video is packed with geek cred. Not only will you notice some of your 8-bit heroes in the quirky animation but I suspect you may notice some sci-fi faces and even some cheeky cartoons. The video is an international production with pixel artists coming from Canada, UK, Germany, USA, Australia, India, Brazil, Spain, […]
Darth Vader trombone routine
Did you know Vader was into a bit of salsa every now and then? It’s true. The dark Jedi / Sith Lord gets a bad wrap but this video shows him entertaining the folks at the Andrew Jackson Senior Center in the Bronx. Hmm. Wait a minute… this may be an imposter. I thought he […]
What Would Buffy Do?
For a while in marketing land there was an expression “What Would Google Do?” It was coined by Jeff Jarvis – who even wrote a book about it. The phrase worked because back then people thought Google could solve any problem through their clever lateral and algorthmic leaning thinking. The phrase “What Would Buffy Do?” […]
I love you Nintendo – the rap
Does a Nintendo rap suggest that rap has become geekcore or that Nintendo has become hardcore? Perhaps I over analyise this sort of thing but Nintendo raps aren’t common place. This particular rap was written and performed by the same talent – one Mr Alex Hanly. If you like Hanly’s stuff then you can listen […]
Pomplamoose cover Angry Birds
I think I’ve only played Angry Birds with either the sound or fx on once or twice. I tend to play it when I’m stuck in airports or similar and the gobbling of greedy pigs isn’t appropriate for sharing. That said; I recognise the Angry Birds theme. So do indie, geeky, popular Pomplamoose. They’ve given […]
