Kitchen Synthesizer

Ever wonder what composers do in their free time? Yeah, neither did we until we saw Stephen J. Anderson make a synth out of old electronics and a kitchen into an instrument. Music starts at 2:20.

Sonic Serenade

Sonic Serenade

It’s nice that Giorgio here likes to make others smile but this probably wouldn’t fly at an actual drive-thru. Check out his real music here. Would probably go down smooth with a cherry limeade.

Digitals

One day Chris Crutchfield was immersed in the sounds of gadgets and programs vying for his attention. This is his “brain’s interpretation of that event.” Our version wouldn’t be so ideal.

The legendary hard rock family is back. David, Eddie and Alex look more Rolling Stones than U2, but they haven’t lost their trademark sound. Their album A Different Kind of Truth drops 02/07.

The Bad in Each Other

The Bad in Each Other

The music video for The Bad in Each Other, a track by Canadian crooner Feist from her latest album Metals. Director Martin de Thurah’s video fits the song’s Dylan-esque wisdom very well.

Half-Life 2: Dead City Blues

Half-Life 2: Dead City Blues

SkipPrime mixed scenes from HL2 with the darkly poetic The Dead Flag Blues, by Godspeed You! Black Emperor. Makes you wonder if Valve was listening to the track when developing the game.

Boots and Cats

Boots and Cats

Henry Edmonds, you’ve doomed us all. Boots & Cats is not something that one can like or hate. It just burrows into your mind, never to be forgotten. Dance clubs will never be the same.

Comme Un Enfant

Comme Un Enfant

Nathan Barnatt whips out more of his sublime dance moves in this goofy music video for Yelle’s Comme Un Enfant. If this doesn’t put a smile on your face, you should double-check for a pulse.
