We've been fawning over Hohokum's music for a while now, because the soundtrack is a big part of what makes this upcoming artsy PS4 game such a treat. Ghostly International has made the whole thing available to stream in anticipation of the game's launch next month. If you're not a believer yet, I'd highly recommend… » 7/31/14 1:38pm 7/31/14 1:38pm

The recent release of Pokémon X and Y didn't just give the game a graphical overhaul. The music is better than ever before as well, and now you can buy all 3.5 hours' worth of it on iTunes for a piddling $9.99. » 11/12/13 2:42pm 11/12/13 2:42pm

The North American Tales of Symphonia Chronicles $100 Collector's Edition for the PS3 is epic. If four Chibi Kyun Chara figures, a novel detailing what happened between Tales of Symphonia and Dawn of the New World, a multi-disc soundtrack and special collector's packaging isn't enough to get you to re-buy two games… » 10/14/13 2:30pm 10/14/13 2:30pm

Rockstar released three new character trailers for their latest game in the Grand Theft Auto series. Up top is "Radio Ga Ga" by Queen to go with Michael's debut. » 4/30/13 11:13am 4/30/13 11:13am

This is "Trigger Finger" from Lil Wayne's newest album I Am Not a Human Being II, released Tuesday. But Mass Effect Assassin's Creed fans should recognize that opening sample, before it lights up a bowl and rolls into the filth-flarn-filth lyrics (so, yes, NSFW warning if you're listening around others over speakers.) » 3/30/13 12:33pm 3/30/13 12:33pm

This performance of the Doctor Who Theme is by Harp Twins Camille and Kennerly, and is a follow-up to their most recent sensation, Blonde Twins Playing Iron Maiden On Harps While Standing In A Ruined Brick Building. » 3/23/13 1:00pm 3/23/13 1:00pm

Chiptune music is all well and good, but I like to give my ear something to hold onto along with all the bleeps and bloops. So I very much enjoy Aivi & Surasshu's new album "The Black Box," which mixes the keyboard chops of pianist Aivi Tran and the chiptune stylings of Surasshu. » 3/11/13 8:00pm 3/11/13 8:00pm

This performance of "Fear of the Dark" brought to you by Camille and Kennerly, the magnificent harp-handlers behind such classics as Blonde Twins Playing The Elder Scrolls Theme On Harps While Standing In A Forest, Blonde Twins Playing A Metallica Cover On Harps While Standing In The Desert, Blonde Twins Playing … » 3/02/13 4:30pm 3/02/13 4:30pm

In place of the Off Topic post tonight, I thought I'd post this music. I was reminded of this excellent theme when watching those GamePro TV episodes from earlier. Man, I loved the theme to the first Tomb Raider. Listening to this was an extreme nostalgia trip. » 2/26/13 10:30pm 2/26/13 10:30pm

I don't even know what else to say, really, about NYC-based chip-rock quartet Anamanaguchi. Their music more or less speaks for itself. » 1/08/13 4:30pm 1/08/13 4:30pm

It's always fun to hear composers talk about their favorite musicians. This past weekend at PAX, I sat down with a group of the biggest names in AAA video game music to talk about all things musical and video games. Fresh from their panel at PAX, I chatted with Dragon Age composer Inon Zur, Assassin's Creed's Jesper… » 9/06/12 8:30pm 9/06/12 8:30pm

This new video from Talking Heads frontman David Byrne and wicked good looper/singer/music-maven St. Vincent is my jam. I mean… two of my favorite singers and a whole full-on sax-section groove. It's like they're trying to kill me with awesomeness. » 9/05/12 10:30pm 9/05/12 10:30pm

There have been approximately one billion tribute, cover, and parody versions of Gotye's 'Somebody That I Used To Know.' One of my favorites was this amazing Star Wars parody, but this shredding solo acoustic guitar version by Mike Dawes is another contender. » 8/13/12 2:45pm 8/13/12 2:45pm

When friendly Mr. Anthony Carboni shared Porter Robinson's new video for "Language" yesterday, he described it as "What tumblr dreams about at night." » 8/02/12 8:45pm 8/02/12 8:45pm

Sometimes the headline does all the talking. Sometimes things are exactly what they seem. » 7/26/12 8:45pm 7/26/12 8:45pm

Florida singer/songwriter Shauna Sweeney has a boyfriend, and he sounds like a pretty great guy. He's into video games, comics, and he's pretty good at defragging a hard drive. And so, she wrote this adorable (and catchy!) song called "My Nerdy Boyfriend." » 7/16/12 3:00pm 7/16/12 3:00pm

The Extended Cut DLC for Mass Effect 3 was free, and now, so is the additional 16 minutes of music composed for its soundtrack. You can pick up the files from BioWare's website. » 7/06/12 3:15pm 7/06/12 3:15pm

Hey, you know who was amazing? Jeff Buckley. Even the uninitiated think of him as "The guy who did that incredible, heartbreaking version of "Hallelujah" » 6/28/12 8:40pm 6/28/12 8:40pm that I will literally never hear enough times."

Kimbra's first album may have been out for a year, but most of the people I talk to have only heard her singing with Gotye on his great (though overplayed) tune "Somebody That I Used To Know." » 6/14/12 7:20pm 6/14/12 7:20pm
