Star Wars Gangsta Chronicles

November 11, 2009 in Fandom, Fanfilm, Filk, Music by Eric

ALL NEW! Star Wars Gangsta Rap: Chronicles

I think the Leia and Jabba parts are my favorites.  I am not sure this is as good as the original Star Wars Gangsta Rap, but it is funny.

Eve Online- March of Dominix

October 19, 2009 in AVM, Filk, MMO, Music by Eric

I have featured “March of Cambreadth” by Heather Alexander before, but something about this video cried out, “Share me!”

This vid cuts together footage from the “Dominix-Ops” from Eve Online.  Watching this, I wish I enjoyed playing the game more than I did, but I suppose this is a game I will have to enjoy from a distance.

What made this vid so so compelling to me was one thought it forced into my head:

Why can’t Machinima be easier to make?

I am looking into software like True Bones and Daz 3D.

Frankly, every MMO should have a Machinima package, it would be free publicity for them, build a stronger core audience.

Anyone have any tips?

Darth Vader: The Musical

May 18, 2009 in Fandom, Filk, Music by Brian Logee

Two of my favorites Star Wars and Phantom of the Opera in one video!  A Star Wars / Phantom of the Opera filk song video watch it above.  This is a great and ambitious project.  They did a great job adapting “Angel of Music”, “The Phantom of the Opera”, and “Beyond the Lake”.

Star Trek: Julia Ecklar – Born Again Trek

May 11, 2009 in Fandom, Fanfilm, Filk, Music, tv/series by Eric

This is one of the only songs I have ever heard that captures my love of Star Trek!  Julie Ecklar always delivers her trademaek brilliant performance.

What you have to remember about this song is, at the time their was a growing rift between Star Wars and Star Trek fans.  I tried to remain neutral, but songs like this and the Klingon Fight Song, made it nearly impossible to remain so.

Brobdingnagian Bards – “Jedi Drinking Song”

April 27, 2009 in Filk, Movies, Music by Eric

Words cannot express how much I love this song.  It is one of those songs that tends to come out of me when I am drinking.

Brobdingnagian Bards are a clowns of the best sort.  You have to love their stage antics as much as their music.

And well, we can’t forget the prequel drinking song now can we?

Eben Brooks: The Ballad of Barry Allen

April 27, 2009 in Comics, Filk, Music by Eric

Eben Brooks delivers again with this great track and video.  There is something oddly funny about the story of Barry Allen (The Flash) told like this.

I especially appreciate the images for City of Heroes in the video.  I am an avid player, and I love the way he used the images to add drama to the video.

If you know of any other good Superhero or City of Heroes vids, leave them in the comments.  I would love to see them.

Escape Key – Mal’s Song

April 20, 2009 in Filk, Music by Eric

Music inspired by Firefly comes in two veins, funny and near tear jerkers.  This song is the latter.  The combination of her beautiful voice and the clips from the show leave a lasting impression on you, and the way they incorperated the Firefly theme song in as the chorus, just brilliant.

Eben Brooks – It’s the End of the ‘Verse As We Know It (and I Feel Fine) [A Firefly Song]

April 13, 2009 in Filk, Music by Eric

Kick up your heels and sing along to the happiest distopian song I have ever heard.  Eben Brooks’ song is based on REM’s “It’s the End of the World as we know it” and covers the whole gammit from Firefly to Serenity.

Leslie Fish – Banned from Argo

April 6, 2009 in Filk, Music by Eric

Banned from Argo is the Freebird of Filk, that one song that has been requested so many times that most Filker won’t perform it anymore.  The video above illustrates the song with clips from  Star Trek the Original Series.  Below is the same song with scenes from Torchwood.
