Sounds Just Like presents pairs of songs that sound alike. You can listen to samples of either song; sadly you can’t play both samples at the same time. You can also search for a song and suggest pairs of songs.

One-man orchestra Jason Yang’s latest clip is a lovely medley of themes from The Game of Thrones, The Hobbit and The Dark Knight. Just one question: When is the movie coming out?

If Ellen has sent her staff to find this young boy in the Philippines to sing on her show, would we be disappointed? No. Aldrich Talonding has big talent and soul in a kid’s body. (Thanks Fred!)

Erock returns with another rockin’ arrangement, this time shredding The King of Pop’s classics Smooth Criminal and Beat It on his electric guitar. We’re betting he couldn’t play as fast wearing a sequined glove though.

(NSFW: language) Well, that explains things: Bitchy Resting Face is a disorder that affects millions of women each day; thanks to our friends at FoD, recognition of the problem is the first step to a cure. (Thanks Joshua!)

Because Rhett and Link enjoy local late-night commercials, they created this one for Arlen Transmission in Burbank. It features Goorgen, the singing mechanic. Satisfaction guaranteed.

Musician Denise Reis can play two instruments at the same time. One of them is the guitar, the other is the trumpet – or is it? Listen as she Dreams of Jeannie, gets Bewitched, and then Gets Smart. She adds vocals to the mix here.

This unofficial music video for You’re On Fire, from They Might Be Giants’ latest album Nanobots, includes the usual odd but inviting TMBG fun – vintage school films, old cartoons and lots of combustibles.

A fictitious story about how Peter Criss came up with KISS’ classic ballad Beth. The song doesn’t actually involve any of his wives and he didn’t write it by himself, but we still hope Criss really does rhyme when he talks.

An epic arrangement of Dave Brubeck’s Take Five, performed by a group of talented Pakistani studio musicians, with their own unique take on the classic jazz tune. More soul-stirring music from Sachal Studios here.

Together is a new track made by The xx specifically for Baz Luhrmann’s upcoming movie adaptation of The Great Gatsby. The soundtrack also features tracks from Jack White, Andre 3000 and more.

(NSFW: Language) CollegeHumor pokes fun at Macklemore & Ryan Lewis’ hit track with this hilarious parody about all of the crap you would otherwise never buy if it weren’t for museum gift shops. Whut? Whut? Whut? Whut?

Listen as Carillonneur (yes that is a job) Lyle Anderson plays the theme from Game of Thrones on the University of Wisconsin – Madison’s 56-bell carillon tower. Lyle himself looks like he could be a member of the cast.

By pitch-shifting Pharrell’s vocals, YouTuber Maim Ixed envisions an alternate reality where Michael Jackson was still with us and teams up with Daft Punk and Nile Rogers for what could have been the best collaboration of his career.

The robots come down from their TRON high and rediscover their funk in Get Lucky, the debut single from their upcoming Random Access Memories. Featuring the ageless Pharrell Williams and disco legend Nile Rodgers.

Musician Clara C lays down a jazzy live remake of Macklemore and Ryan Lewis’ mega-hit Thrift Shop. This version is officially safe for work too. Better quality audio here. Now let’s go pop some tags.

This little robot will make sure your axe is always in tune. Install it behind your guitar’s headstock and it will mechanically tune your strings in seconds. Available for different guitar brands and models.

This street musician shreds like you wouldn’t believe with a finger-blistering performance as his digits go flying across the frets and strings of his acoustic guitar. We’re impressed he doesn’t get his beard caught in the strings.

(NSFW: Language) The eye-popping music video for Can’t Hold Us, the rally-rousing single from Macklemore & Ryan Lewis’ album The Heist. Lewis went H.A.M. on this track. Very fun and inspiring to listen to.

LSTN makes in-ear, on-ear and over-ear headphones with ear cups made from reclaimed cherry, ebony or beech wood, making each headphone truly unique. Part of its profits go to a charity for the deaf.

An orchestra performs a variety of pranks, popping up to surprise passersby, adding a triangle player to the band, and trolling people as they try to cross the street. Despite being the first one, the Psycho one is still our fave.

(NSFW: Brief Nudity) Do Not Touch is an interactive music video for Kilo by Light Light. Participate in a variety of mini-games using your mouse cursor along with the people who played before you. Made by Moniker.

The debut single from Queens of the Stone Age’s upcoming album …Like Clockwork. Frontman Josh Homme recorded the album with pretty much the same lineup as when they did the stellar Songs for the Deaf.
