Can’t get enough of the sci-fi musicals we’ve been treating ourselves too? No? Good! Yes? Too bad! Stepping up to the microphone next are those tiny little creatures that many Star Wars fans like to pretend were never mentioned. That’s right: the midichlorians. They’ve been joined on the karaoke by the legendary Queen who has […]
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.
RoboCop the musical: Murphy, it’s you!
There’s nothing wrong with this recent trend for turning golden oldies into musicals. I think. Not so sure that “Murphy, it’s you!” is my favourite but here it is anyway. What do you think? Does the Murphy, it’s you ever reach the ear splitting heights you feared it would?
Congratulations. MGMT’s new music video is freaky!
Um. Not sure what I make of this video. I’m prone to liking MGMT. Sure; I’ve enjoyed their headline hits but I’ve enjoyed their album work too. I like the soft tones and surreal hints to their music. Surreal is what we get with this video – some freaky monster doing its best to trek […]
F**k Me, Ray Bradbury!
A slightly naughty tribute to one of the finest Sci-Fi authors of all time…

War Photographer: the musical vikings
File this one under “I found it on YouTube” and it’s a little geeky. Vikings are geeky, right? It’s about 4 years old at this point and from a producer called Jason Forrest. Wikipedia says he’s know for experimental elecrtronica and breakcore. Oh dear. What’s happened to musical jargon. “Breakcore” sounds like a wrestler’s name […]
Manta’s Doctor Who
Not only is Adam Hills a great comedian who pops over to this blogger’s home town of Edinburgh for the comedy festival – he happens to have a shown down under called Spicks and Specks. We therefore have both Adam Hills and Spicks and Specks to thank for sharing Manta with the world and their […]
Music video: Daft Punk vs Tron vs Tron Legacy = Daft Tron
One word: Awesome This is Eclectic Method‘s Daft Tron music video. It’s awesome because it’s Daft Punk doing Tron. It’s Daft Punk doing Tron with clips from the original Tron and Tron Legacy mixed it. We’re not worthy! https://vimeo.com/13709012 But perhaps this Tron fanboy, this Daft Punk fanboy, is bias. What do you make of […]
Literal Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows trailer
It’s been a while since I’ve watched one of the once-popular literal video redux on YouTube. They’re clearly still going and I should have expected a Harry Potter one to appear. Step forward Tobuscus and their work on the Deathly Hallows trailer. Good job, guys, good job.
