The Tiger

Yesterday I posted an infantile dancing man/tiger hybrid that was immediately redacted from the internet. In its place I give you an incredibly vivid, tiger-themed sci-fi music video. Ah, the Yin and Yang of the Internets.

Host Monsters

This is one of the best animated music videos I’ve ever seen. It reminds me of an enviro-themed Aeon Flux. This magnificence was produced by the Waltzing Monkey.

The Ballad of Prince Adam

A talented mashup artist visits some of the homo-erotic themes in He-Man, while fleshing out the emotional core of Prince Adam. One can’t be a superhero all the time. Sometimes one just needs to vent frustrations and disco-dance one’s troubles away.

The Future of Music

On its face, this wildly popular YouTube piece, The TV Theme Medley, is a potpourri of pop-culture fare performed by a talented and versatile musician/tv addict. A deeper analysis after the jump…

Efficiency be damned!

I’m not a big fan of their music, but OK Go’s videos?  Pretty ridiculous.  (Maybe that’s where they’re spending their creative energy.)

Die Antwoord

Combining virtually every catchy internet-meme from ninjas to a Progeria-inflicted sidekicks, the oddly believable spoof band has captured the imaginations of comedy fans and serious rap fans alike…

Well, it IS one republic!

Really, where the hell was this when I was in sixth grade?
