This is just one of the many reasons I love Weezer. Awesome music video.

Last night while prowling about on the internetz, I came across a video that can even melt the heart of Satan.  Do you know how seriously bad ass such a video would have to be?  Do you? Watch this video.   Be amazed at the cuteness.  BE AMAZED! By the way, I watched and listened to this video for almost an hour.  Over and over and OVER.  Stig-san has seen it a few times himself.  If some of you cold hearted bastards suddenly want to hug puppies, do not blame it on me.  BLAME IT ON CLANNAD AND DANGO DANGO AND POKEMANS!!

Hey guys, if you haven’t seen this yet, you need to.

Too make things even better, for those few fans of mine out there, I recorded my own version (no vid for it though). I HOPE YOU ENJOY!

Decided to get together and sing a duet. (What were you thinking, pervs!) Usually we’d just put this in the podcast, but we’ve sort of decided that we should stop ‘ear bleeding’ everyone with our horrible musical talents. That said, download at your own discretion.

I’m quite sure that anyone who’s owned a Super NES has at least heard of the game Mario Paint. Not only were the mini-games that came along with it great(especially the fly swatter), making crappy animations with crappy pictures was slightly amusing. Of course, anyone who’s actually played the game knows that the best part of it is not the “painting” but the built in music composer.

Just last night as I was mindlessly sifting through my bookmarks on Firefox I happened across a link to the Youtube profile of TomBobBlender. It’s amazing what this man can do with the original Mario Paint music composer. Not only does he accurately arranges classic video game music in the key of C without using sharps or flats(all because of the constraints of the original composer), but his creative use of the different “instruments” is mind blowing.

Now, this may not be everyone’s cup of tea, but I myself find it simply amazing. Some of these songs are so well done that it brings a tear to my eye, simply out of nostalgia, even though I could just as easily look up the songs and listen to an MP3 or MIDI somewhere. There’s something about watching little Mario hop across the top of the screen along to my favorite video game music.

Here’s one of my favorite songs that he’s done. You can find a few more after the jump if you like.

The Pollyanna Theme from Earthbound.
