I just can’t get enough geek and sci-fi music, so here we go again. This time around it’s Tonight I’m Frakking You from Break Originals (notice the hot Cylon honeys from the series, one in a Princess slave girl outfit from another franchise), Star Trek Girl from Meekakitty, and finally ALL CAP’S song World of Warcraft Ruined My Life.
Again with the Nerdcore music; this time, it’s Computer Friends [Stack the Memory] by the Sniper Twins, the ultimate old-school gamer classic It Is Pitch Dark from M.C. Frontalot, and I Kissed a Nerd from the Damsels of Dorkington.
Thanks to WQXR-FM, the PBS style classical music station in NYC, we can now listen to around 12 minutes or so of the new Captain America soundtrack. It got the music as part of its Movies On The Radio program, which I recommend to everyone. Thanks to the team at SFX for the heads up on this one.
Again with the Nerdcore music; This time they built a A Bollywood Themed Gamer’s Anthem (their words), and it is just so much fun I had to include it here. Felicia Day and her team have created some of the best TV online with The Guild, you should be watching! The other music is also all about gaming enviro’s, with G33k & G4M3R Girls from Team Unicorn, Roll A D6 from Sir Conner Anderson, and Do You Want To Date My Avatar (again from Felicia Day) in both RL and VR format.
You can make your own online videos, to share whatever drives your enthusiasm with the world, and lots of you have done so. If you want to build your own, I recommend you check out the two videos on the page. They will give you a few good rules of thumb and tell you about some excellent tools to help you succeed, many of which are even free (the software ones, at least; there are very few free video cameras or microphones, although there are a number of cheap but high quality hardware options). Thanks to Epic Fu and The Fine Bros. for some good insight into the process.
I am not actually in favor of this as a trend, but it was interesting enough I figured I should mention it. When they do the Mikunopolis concert starring my favorite Virtual Idol being held this weekend at Anime Expo in Los Angeles, the folks at NicoNico Douga will stream it live. Why am I, a serious Hatsune Miku fan, not thrilled? According to the folks at Crunchyroll, they will be selling tickets to get the live stream for 1500 yen (around $18) each. Of course, the concert is completely sold out, so even if I was on the left coast I couldn’t get in, and they have added some more Vocaloid singers to the lineup (and Danny Choo will be the MC). I’m going to have to think about this one…
