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 […]
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.
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 […]
The Skynet Symphonic by Pogo
Pogo’s music skill has already featured on Geek Native. Upular is well worth listening too as it features clips from Disney’s Up in a way that’ll hold your interest. Well then; take that cute Disney effect and apply the same style to Terminator 2. Yup! A musical Terminator beatbox stylee! Pogo calls this one “Skynet […]
Lots more Alice in Wonderland stuff; art & music
On the plus side we’ve got some new art and shots from Burton’s Alice in Wonderland. On the negative side we’ve also got the Avril Lavigne song “Alice” from the movie. Don’t get me wrong. My music taste is miles wide and I’m big and ugly enough to say what i like. I have liked […]
Mortal Kombat lightening muscial with zeusaphones
This video did two things. One – it taught me a new word: Zeusaphones. Two – it reminded me of the Mortal Kombat techno theme tune. Actually, this is the Mortal Kombat theme tune and it’s being created by the lightening generating zeusaphones. Now there’s a talent I didn’t know I didn’t have.
