The Portguese group Moullinex have helped the geek community push Kinect hacking one step further. Also; they’ve made a stunning music video for a wicked tune. The pair briefed Kotaku and explained how they were able do the vid in their own living room. Luis Clara Gomes told the Gawker powerhouse gamer blog of power; […]
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.
Phantom of the Floppera
Do you still have any old floppy discs hanging around? Let’s just say you have 3 1/2″ drives and two 5 1/4″ drives to go with those discs. Okay, let’ say you could connect those to a microntroller so you could interface with some MIDI sources via MIDI over USB (because it’s easier that way). […]
The League of STEAM power “The Ballad of Mona Lisa” for Panic! at the Disco
Panic! at the Disco’s latest music video “The Ballad of Mona Lisa” was put together with the assistance of geek natives The League of Steam. We’ve written about The League of STEAM before, here they are chasing vampires, but this is impressively high profile stuff. The video is richly steampunk and so Panic! at the […]
Heavy metal, lego and fantasy combat – what’s not to love?
Three shades of “We’re not worthy” for Paganomation and their impressive Lego animation. It’s a simple concept – a lumberjack, a humble man, is suddenly granted the greatest power of all time. What happens? Things get awesome! I thought “Paganomation” was a clever blend of the words “pagan” and “animation”. I was wrong. A key […]
I Am Optimus Prime: the music video
Screen Team have applied their tried and tested comedy music skills to the Transformers. The result is a parody of The Time by Black Eyed Peas. As is increasingly common with these YouTube hits you can even buy this track from iTunes if that takes your fancy. What’s to say in reponse to lyrics like […]
Meekakitty’s Star Trek Girl
As far as I can make up Meekakitty is one of these DIY YouTube video hosts. I quite like the idea – teens showing their talent, rather than just claiming they have it, by essentially hosting and putting together their own show. Meekakitty’s cleverly tapped into a meme of potential with her Star Trek song. […]
Cthulhu chant sung to the Tiny Toon theme song
Here’s a blast for the past. This was one of the best posts I’ve ever seen on Usenet and after all these years, don’t ask me why, I’ve dug it up to share here. This is a Cthulhu inspired song. The catch – it needs to be sung to the Tiny Toon song. As a […]
Mario Paint does Doctor Who
How do you rate the current Doctor Who theme? Similar but a little bit different? Imagine how it might sound if it was played using Mario Paint. Actually, you don’t have to imagine any longer. Thanks to the talented Levus28 we can now all sit back and enjoy Mario Paint being used to play the […]
Walkin’ in a winter zombieland
This isn’t the sequel to the movie Zombieland. Oh no. This is a musical masterpiece put together by Paul Stodolny and friends. I think the title says it all “Walkin’ in a winter zombieland”. What’s wrong with a little bit of a zombie and snow mashup? This ditty little tune will help put a smile […]

What we have here is a geekpile of awesome. This week you can download Vault 101 for Rock Band via Xbox Live. Vault 101 is Kirby Krackle’s excellent tribute to Bethesda’s Fallout 3. It’s ace that we can play Fallout 3 inspired music in Rock Band in the first place and double ace that it’s […]
