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!
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.
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.
Upular is a fantastic musical mashup of Disney’s Up
Pogo is an artist from Perth in Australia. He seems particularly talented in taking tiny samples from movies and pulling out some fantastic electronic music. Upular takes some small samples from Up and turns out to be a relaxing and yet up beat musical mashup. It’s trending today on YouTube and is worth a listen.
Left 4 Dead 2’s Midnight Riders with disappointing Christmas single
The rockband from Left 4 Dead 2 – who feature strongly as you bash off zombies in a stadium – have released a Christmas single. It’s charmingly titled ” All I Want For Christmas (Is To Kick Your Ass). In the Left 4 Dead 2 mythology The Midnight Riders have vanished and are probably zombies. […]
Big in Japan: Cruel Angels
Back in October I wrote about a 14 year old girl from the Isle of Man – Beckii Cruel – who had won fame by dressing up and dancing along to anime credit music. The glib prediction was that she’d be big in Japan. Since then I can report she’d released a DVD – which […]
Zombie kitten death trance
Here’s a rather unusual music video from Cyriak. I’m into this for the animation only. Not sure I could listen to the music all that often but if it is your thing then you can pick it up here. I’m much more into the zombie kittens, drawn by Sarah Brown, which you can get on […]
The Muppets perform Bohemian Rhapsody
Unless you’ve been living under and offline rock this month you’ll have come across this sterling performance of Queen’s Bohemian Rhapsody from the comic master Muppets. That’s no reason not to share the video here; after all, we have next month to think about when we might need to be reminded that Animal is fantastic […]
