Here’s one for Doctor Who fans. “I am the Doctor” is Murray Gold’s theme for Matt Smith’s Eleventh Doctor. If you’ve seen the TV series you’ll remember the music. I’m no fashion expert but that TARDIS Lara’s wearing looks like a Black Milk item so that and the katana blades on the bookcase behind her […]
Are you annoyed that “He Looks so Perfect”
This Warp Zone music video is a parody of 5 Seconds of Summer’s “She Looks So Perfect”. It took me a little while to get into this video but they start to range from computer character to computer character – complaining about the impossible physiques of male characters. I suppose it’s a twist on some […]
Beyond 8-bit; an evolution of video game music as a surprising acapella
Okay, I’ll admit. I’ve seen plenty of Mario and Sonic acapellas now. It’ll take a little bit more than that to earn a blog post these days. Step forward Triforce Films. This isn’t just an acapella (with a touch of cosplay). This is a tour through the evolution of computer game music and that means […]
The Household Cavalry perform Game of Thrones
This performance of the iconic Game of Thrones TV series opening theme happened during the changing of the guards outside Buckingham Palace. I speculate this doesn’t happen very often as there would be more YouTube footage of it. A stroke of luck then that Omer Barnea had a great view and was recording from the […]
Portal Turrets sing “Game of Thrones”
As it turned out there was some interest in the Ska version of Game of Thrones‘ iconic opening theme. So; could it get any stranger? There’s Game of Turrets. The vocals here are by the video’s creator Harry Callaghan and if you’re a true fan you can download the tune at Bandcamp. If you’re musically […]
The Game of Thrones theme transformed into ska
Ska is a Jamacian music genre that started in the 50s. I know it from the so-called Second Wave and Third Waves of the 70s and 80s with bands like Madness. By the the 90s ska had made it to the United States and now ska has made it to Game of Thrones thanks to […]
Akira’s theme with a classical twist and cosplay topping
This is the first post on a YouTube channel called Player Piano. Got to say; it looks interesting. The channel is focused on Sonya Belousova, a piano player, and in this video she brings with her musical friends all cosplaying Akira. She also brings Eru Matsumoto who uses a neon bow for her electric cello […]
This is a thing: Batmetal
It’s Batman meets Metal. In particular, this is ArhyBES’s take of Dethklok’s Face Fisted. Their “new” band is called Children of Batman and this remake is called Batface. You might not want to listen to this at work because, well, metal. And swearing. I like the arrangement of Red Hood, Robin and then Nightwing across […]
Bannerman – A Game of Throne / Piano Man parody
I’ll admit to having a lot of love for Billy Joel’s Piano Man. That’s the easy part. What about Gregor Clegane fro a Song of Ice and Fire? Yup; we’re talking about Game of Thrones’ The Mountain. Not so much love. This tribute mashup from Grombar Smash tells the story of the Bannerman. If you […]
Dungeon crawling music: Within The Land Of My Imagination I Am The Only God
Geek Native’s featured the music of Erang before as the sort of music suitable for game night. Call it what you want – and Erang uses both “Dungeon Synth” and “Medieval Fantasy” – this is music inspired by The Hobbit, Lord of the Rings, the Silmarillion and old movies like Conan, the Dark Crystal and […]
