“You’ve not completed portal?” my girlfriend asked me in surprise. It’s alright for her; she can navigate the mysteries of Portal in her sleep. It’s worth completing Portal. Not just because it keeps theweirdone happy; but because you get to listen to “Still Alive”. Is it time for a remake? Is it time for a […]
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.

Bunny eating muppet sings “Stand By Me”
It’s Easter and therefore no better time for Big Mean Carl to go boffing bunnies – or are they moshi monsters? This cover “Stand By Me” by Ben E. King isn’t the usual flavour of the song but certainly worth a watch. What do you think Big Mean Carl’s armour class is?
Dancing Ewoks: Galactic Empire State of Mind
CollegeHumor knows that if you put Star Wars together with a pop song that they’ll have a hit. I have to say they do especially well to have the dancing ewoks and Wookie though. I’m also impressed that they’ve published the lyrics! I imagine the goal is to encourage cover versions. Where do you rate […]
Hey Moshi Dance – monsters make music videos
For work and for this blog I do try and keep an eye open on growing internet trends and memes. Here’s one: Hey Moshi from MoshiMonsters. They’re encouraging viewers to upload Hey Moshi videos to YouTube and it seems to be working. The second video in this post made the most popular YouTube videos update […]
Music for roleplaying
I wish “Music for Roleplaying” had been one of the first sections I added to GameWyrd as perhaps it would have had a higher profile and been more successful. I still think the internet would benefit from a music database/recommendation service for gamers and scenes. Lately sites like Last.fm and Spotify have helped though. Last.fm […]
100,000 paper airplanes
This video was arranged by a fellow called Rob Bliss as his entry into the 2009 ArtPrize. He’s an event planner. A few seconds into the vid you can see just how much plannning an event like this would have taken. the music is “Olsen Olsen” by Sigur Ros. It’s just perfect for the video/artwork. […]
U900 – the amigurumi band
Certainly worthy of Geek Native’s growing collection of amigurumi posts are U900. Not only are U900 cute amigrurmi, they’re animated by stop motion and video and they’re a band. No ordinary band either; no, U900 make awesome use of the Japanese Ukulele!
MIKA’s Kick-Ass music video
What we have here is MIKA doing the official Kick-Ass music video. I know it’s not cool to say so but I rather enjoyed MIKA’s debut album, especially the single Grace Kelly. To my untrained hears he did manage to remind me of Freddie Mercury. I can only imagine this video is part of MIKA’s […]
He liked Saturn so much
If you like it put a ring on it. I know this song from the one episode of Glee I’ve seen. The football team danced to it in order to win their game. It’s a pop song. Beyonce, is it? Anyway; this is much better!
Kirsten Dunst in cosplay music video (a little ecchi?)
One of the very first blog posts on Geek Native was a photograph of ex-Spider-man star Kirsten Dunst in cosplay. We new McG was involved. Now we’ve got the whole video – and when I say “we” I mean you and I. This is a project from McG and Japanese “pop artist” Takashi Murakami. What […]
