A Little Bit on the Cave In Side: This Cave In poster rocks, man. It’s from way back in their Until Your Heart Stops days. Two of my favorite things: metal / hardcore and old games.

A Little Bit On The Chiptuned Side: Lana Del Rey’s “Video Games” gets the chiptune rendition it deserves along with a video that keeps the same vibe as the original, but instead of vintage scenes of Americana, we get lots of scenes of Barbi on roller blades, but it’s totally okay.
This song’s by the chiptune artist Leeni on her EP Headphones On Your Heart,which is currently on sale at Bandcamp and 100 percent of the proceeds go towards suicide prevention.

A Little Bit On The Arcade Side: Nero’s video for their song “Me and You” is a total throwback to the arcade heyday of the 90’s. On the real, arcades need to nut up and make a comeback.

A Little Bit On The Beatboxing Side: Beatbox champ THePETEBOX does a live multitrack performance of MGMT’s “Kids” and it’s quite possibly the greatest cover of this song in the history of covers of this song.
In case you missed it, we previously featured THePETEBOX’s version of The Pixies’ “Where Is My Mind?” here.

A Little Bit On The Synesthesia Side: Damn, the sleeve for this Rez soundtrack is nice! It’s actually only half of the soundtrack. The other half comes on a different vinyl in an orange sleeve. The graphic is of one of the character’s upper forms where he’s sitting lotus-style inside the sphere. Unfortunately, I can’t find a good photo of the front.
A Little Bit On The Giant Monster Side: This is More Media’s music video for “Aberdeen” by Cage the Elephant. It was directed by Isaac Rentz. I was a tester for Borderlands so after the 100th time of listening to “Ain’t No Rest For The Wicked” I felt like murdering Cage the Elephant. However, I’ve listened to the rest of their songs and I’m starting to like them now that I realize that “Ain’t No Rest For The Wicked” isn’t representative of their sound.

A Little Bit on the Prog Pop Indie Side: Check out this hilarious shirt from Minus the Bear, one of the best bands around. It only comes in women’s cuts, so maybe buy it for your lady as an Xmas gift. Unless you’re a lady. Then buy it for yourself.

A Little Bit On The Ten Year Anniversary Side: Who knew that Bleach creator Tite Kubo was such a huge Gorillaz fan? He drew this mash up of Gorillaz and Bleach to celebrate both franchises’ tenth anniversaries this year.

A Little Bit on the Audio Side: Skull Candy have teamed up with some great companies in the past, like Paul Frank and tokidoki. Next up is Kidrobot. And Kidrobot being Kidrobot, there has to be an awesome limited Dunny bundle, right? The $299 headphones come with a chromed out 3” Dunny.

A Little Bit On The Girl Talk Side: Mashup artist Girl Talk’s album All Day gets a 71-minute music video and it looks fantastic. Directed by Jacob Krupnick, Girl Walk // All Day was funded on Kickstarter and premieres at the Masonic Temple in Brooklyn, NY on December 8th.

![Peoplepeople Speaker Is Music to my Eyeballs
Peoplepeople design very cool minimalist pieces of sexiness. One of their concept designs is this some-assembly-required wireless speaker. I wish you could actually buy stuff like this at the store.

LSDJ MIDI Boxes
I used to wonder if this would ever be created, and years later, here it is. These boxes let you hook up your Game Boy (loaded with Little Sound DJ) to a MIDI keyboard. In English, that means you can control your Game Boy’s sounds using a certain type of music keyboard, rather than tediously programming songs into the software. Granted, the cryptic nature of LSDJ is part of the novelty, but being able to actually control the Game Boy’s audio in real time - rather than using emulation-based plug-ins for your digital audio software - is awesome.
The boxes come in two flavors - one to control a single Game Boy and another to control up to four. Since these are so awesome, you’re going to have to pay up, though - $151 for the former and $255 for the latter, to be specific. Worth it.

William Shatner Covers ‘Bohemian Rhapsody’
Holy Shatner! Can you imagine just walking out of your house one day and seeing Shatner’s huge, whacky face up in the sky singing Bohemian Rhapsody? I’m not sure if would be the scariest or most awesome thing ever.

Teenage Wastleland
Here’s the music video for “Fantasy” by DyE from their TAKI 183 album. In addition to a great catchy song, the animation by Jérémie Périn is simply top notch. I won’t spoil what happens, but let’s just say I love the craft put into the making of this video.
