‘I Fink U Freeky’ by Die Antwoord

Those South African weirdoes are back with a typically strange video that will probably haunt your dreams and have you waking for the rest of your life – cold and frightened, in the middle of the night – And there’s a lot of swearing in it too, but that can only be a good thing. [...]

Ed Sheeran – Drunk

Meet Ed Sheeran, he’s ginger but do let that put you off. Here he is, trying to get over his ex-girlfriend and forgetting the pain by getting drunk with a cat and let this be a lesson to cat owners everywhere: never let your cat get drunk because they are a mean drunk. A few [...]

Yelle – Comme Un Enfant (Freaks Remix)

Get your freak on with these funksome dance moves from a bald guy in flares and a turquoise roll neck. That’s right, he may look like someone’s weird neighbour in a 1970s suburbia sitcom but that doesn’t stop him from opening up a can of badass as he busts some shapes all up in yo [...]

DON’T FLOP – Rap Battle – ‬Blizzard Vs Mark Grist

Don’t flop is good advice no matter what activity you’re indulging in and definitely not in rap battles. And definitely not in a rap battle where a pupil takes on his teacher. But while you’d think the kid might be more down with it and pwn teach, he actually gets schooled as teach takes it [...]

Dicken feat. Milah & Korben: ‘Everything Counts’

Is this the coolest dad in the history of dadhood? Not only is he spending quality time with his kids but they’re doing an awesome activity, laying down a cool Depeche Mode track which they get to perform on, rocking the keyboard and the recorder. And to top it all off and make us all [...]

Household Beat Challenge

Another musical mashup for you, though this one doesn’t use a movie for samples. The guy who made this is so good at it that he takes challenges from his viewers and the challenge here was to make a beat using only re-purposed sounds that he could make using household items. A plastic bag rustling, [...]

Athena Vs. The LP

The shock! The horror! This 13-year-old digital native is beside herself when her dad shows her an LP for the very first time in her life. She can’t seem to fathom why it’s so huge and why it’s got so little songs on it — well that’s the analog world for you! And don’t even [...]

Hello

This must’ve taken a long time and some dedication to complete, so props for that. A collection of quotes from various movies are edited together so that everyone from Arnie to Elvis to Bruce Lee to Morpheus joins together to give their unwitting rendition of Lionel Richie’s “Hello”. And what a marvellous performance it is, [...]

Beardyman @ BBC Comedy Proms 2011

Beardyman, who has the whole world in his mouth, but alas no beard, wows the audience at the BBC Comedy Proms, confusing the orchestra who possibly see him as a threat to their existence as should anybody who makes a living by making noise. It’s a fine performance and one that you wouldn’t really want [...]

M.I.A – Illygirl (Borgore Illygore Remix)

You can’t really go wrong with a video like this. And the music’s pretty good too, but it comes secondary to the manifold delights of watching scantily clad females jumping about in their smalls in the name of art. Well, music. The sounds over the top of the footage could be the Lord’s prayer or [...]

Symphony 1 In the Barrel of a Gun: Emily Wells

OK, we’re halfway through the week and it’s time for a musical snack courtesy of this very talented young lady, Emily Wells, who brings the rhythms with her violin and then goes and takes it to the next level with her voice. Justin Bieber, are you listening? This music could take a giant shit on [...]

Barack Obama Singing ‘Born This Way’

It’s musical Wednesday over here on PB, so enjoy the President of the United States of America laying it down like Lady Gaga and showing the Little Monsters that he can do anything she can do better. If his hidden singing talents aren’t going to win him this year’s presidential election then the country might [...]

Reggie Watts: Humor in Music

Reggie “Wait?” Watts is a master of music-infused comedy and if you need proof then just take a watch of this video featuring him wowing the PopTech audience with his mastery and his scratching skills. He’s the sort of comedian you could watch and listen to until your mind collapses from old age or your [...]

DJ Earworm Mashup – United State of Pop 2011

It’s that time of year when we all go out and get drunk to celebrate the passing of time. No, not your birthday but New Year’s Eve, and to get you in the party spirit, why not pour yourself a glass of bourbon–doesn’t matter that it’s 10am and you’re at work–and put this on the [...]

Norwegian Recycling – Good Feeling

Songs, they’re all just one big variation on the ‘one song that rules them all’, aren’t they? Who knows. But look how similar Coldplay’s “Fix You” sounds to Katy Perry’s “The One That Got Away” and Black Eyed Peas’ “The Time” and a whole bunch of other songs when they’re all mixed together. It’s kinda [...]

WTF Collective 3 (Jon Lajoie)

What a journey it’s been for this man, Jon Lajoie and his WTF Collective. From starting out as paupers on the streets of Dickensian London, growing up under Nazi Germany, then living through the great Lajoie purge of 1909, he’s now back with the third installment of his WTF Collective track. Talk about milking it.

Forwards Motion in a Backwards World

Sometimes we all feel like the world’s moving at a pace we can’t keep up with, well stop moaning because you could be the guy in this video who’s going forwards while the world moves the opposite way. It would be a total mindmelt to have this happen to you, so pity this man, he’s [...]
