One more cover this time. After singing a cover of Nine Inch Nails ‘Hurt’, Kermit is back with a “muppetified” cover of Radiohead’s ‘Creep’, which just happens to be one of my favorite songs.

This one is slightly dated, but is still a goodie. Watch Rick Miller, the man of many voices, perform a cover of Queen’s Bohemian Rhapsody.

I just adore the casually playful nature of the song ‘Hey Hey Hey’ by Room Eleven, a band based in Holland. Singer Janne Schra’s voice has been described as “a juicy green meadow, just after sunset, covered in fresh dew.”
Fittingly enough, the official video for the song is as light and summery as the [...]
Watch a fabulous, unofficial video for Radiohead’s “Nude” track by Stefan Ringelschwandtner, a visual artist based in Germany.

This is spreading like an epidemic. Many more obsolete machines are playing music now. This time, it’s a floppy drive playing The Imperial March, more popularly known as Darth Vader’s theme from Star Wars.

With over 2 million views (and counting) on various video sharing sites, “Where in the Hell is Matt ?” is the most popular viral video of the moment.
Matt, a self-confessed “deadbeat from Connecticut”, shot the feel-good video in over 42 countries, with a cast running into the thousands. The sense of joie de vivre [...]
This incredible mashup of Will Shatner’s incredibly painful rendition of Pulp’s “Common People” and the old Star Trek animated series is just too cool for words.
Kirk and Spock. The Spongebob and Patrick (or is it Squidward ?) of ’60s retro televison.

In response to Radiohead’s online contest to remix the ‘Nude’ track, James Houston rigged together some outdated and obsolete computer devices and peripherals to recreate the song, and a brilliant music video.
He used a Sinclair ZX Spectrum (which I owned, and spent frustratingly long hours loading and playing the 8-bit Batman game with) for [...]
At precisely 1.319 seconds long, “You Suffer” by British band Napalm Death has been officially recognized by the Guinness Book of Records as the shortest recorded song ever. The song only consists the lyrics "You suffer - but why?”
The track, originally recorded in March 1986, was featured on the band’s 1986 album Scum.
The song’s [...]
The SLORK Project could very well change the way music is created in the future. The project uses laptops as musical instruments, and also as devices to virtually collaborate in real time with musicians around the world.
Snip from the site:
The Stanford Laptop Orchestra (SLOrk) is a large-scale, computer-mediated ensemble that explores cutting-edge technology in [...]
Sigur Rós, a band from Iceland, has just released a spectacular music video for ‘Gobbledigook’, the first song from its upcoming album.
The band, being inspired by the earlier works of photographer Ryan McGinley (NSFW link), collaborated with him to create the music video.
Disclaimer: The video is absolutely not safe for work, as it features [...]
Robert Hodgin originally intended his music video to be an entry for Radiohead’s Animated Music Video Contest on Aniboom. The song in the video is Weird Fishes/Arpeggi from the controversial In Rainbows music album.
He created the video with Processing, an open source programming language and environment.

Dennis Liu, a college student and aspiring filmmaker, created an unofficial music video for the Bird And The Bee’s single "Again and Again."
Liu made the video for about $100, using only the OS X desktop interface of his Mac, and the acting talents of Larkin Clark, who it turns out, did the work for free.
This is [...]
Watching Japanese dancer Masako Yasumoto dance in the hypnotic Omadaka style left me quite entranced, but seriously creeped my wife out.
Omodaka has been defined as a mutational fusion of music and video developed through trial and error.
I must admit, there were moments when I almost expected her to step out from the computer [...]
This cringe-worthy clip from Britain’s Got Talent features one of the worst singers to ever make an appearance on a talent show. And we thought some of the preliminary auditions on American Idol were bad. For once, even Simon seemed to be at a loss for words. Not.

Bjork, ever the maverick, is back with her latest video for the single ‘Wanderlust’ from her sixth studio album Volta.
The stunningly hypnotic video directed by a Manhattan based art collective - Encyclopedia Pictura, complements the music perfectly, and sometimes even eclipses it.
I highly recommended watching a much higher quality version of the video [...]
Watch an extremely "x-rayted" video for the song Poka by Russian singer Alena Sviridova.
Ah, the dangerous things an artist will have to do to create beautiful art (and sell albums).

This audition video clip from the Bulgarian reality show ‘Music Idol‘ made me smile (a wee bit).
Valentina Hasan, a native of Spain, performed her own special version of Mariah Carey’s "Without You" on the show. Only, she called it "Ken Lee." And what the heck does Ken Lee mean ? You will have to watch [...]
What do you get if you put six drummers in an apartment ? Cacophony or some great music ?
The following short film titled ‘Music for One Apartment and Six Drummers,’ was directed by Johannes Stjärne Nilsson and Ola Simonsson, and was even nominated for a Golden Palm in Cannes.
Watch the ‘Serial Musicians’ create [...]
The Fez says,
This cover of ‘Sweet Child O’ Mine’ by the Guns N’ Roses, was created as a promotional video for an Indian music channel. I would love it if they released a complete version of this track.
