by Rebecca Pahle | 2:25 pm, May 22nd, 2013

Here’s a 14-year-old named Tina covering Eddie Van Halen‘s “Eruption” guitar solo and killing it. If you’re like me and the words “Eddie Van Halen’s ‘Eruption’ guitar solo” have no meaning, let me just say: This girl is some sort of guitar wizard.

by Rebecca Pahle | 11:30 am, May 19th, 2013

The morning after the Doctor Who season finale seems an excellent time to post the latest video from the Doctor Who Fan Orchestra, which sees 292 musicians and vocalists from across time and space performing “Amy’s Suite,” arranged by Stephen Willis using five of Who composer Murray Gold‘s Doctor Who themes.

The Gender Politics Of Game of Thrones, Expressed Through Song, By James Brown [VIDEO]

by Jill Pantozzi | 6:01 pm, April 7th, 2013

We’ve seen lyrics put to the lyric-less Game of Thrones theme song before but never quite like this. DJ rozroz seemingly explores the gender politics of George R.R. Martin’s Westeros by mixing the theme song with James Brown’s “It’s A Man’s Man’s Man’s World.” It works surprisingly well.

It Looks Like Glee Did A Jonathan Coulton Song Without Request or Credit

by Susana Polo | 2:01 pm, January 18th, 2013

Though the story is still developing, there isn’t really another way to put this: it looks an awful lot like one of the songs Glee is planning to include in its soon-to-be-returning fourth season is a soft-rock cover of Sir Mix-a-Lot’s “Baby Got Back.” In fact, it’s a very specific soft rock cover of “Baby Got Back.” Nerd singer-songwriter Jonathan Coulton‘s cover.
