Mariachi Cover of Star Wars: Episode IV Throne Room Theme
Did you know there’s a band dedicated to making mariachi-style covers of video game and pop culture themes? I didn’t, until today. And, boy, Mariachi Entertainment System is brilliant! Here is just one of their recent productions: the throne room theme from the end of Star Wars: Episode IV – A New Hope:

Starships!
Three years old at this point, but still, oh, so, SO great: Starships!
Starships! by bironic
“A celebration of pilots, captains, engineers, crew members, and the spacecraft they love to fly. (And race, and crash, and fix, and play in, and fight in, and…)”

It’s a great time to be a geek – not only are more SFFnal stories than before being published and adapted to the screen and stage, but making, remixing, and sharing our own content is incredibly easy.
P.S. Be sure to read bironic’s making-of note!

Two Fan-Made Star Wars: Episode VII Videos
This music-only version of the official The Force Awakens trailer edited by Tim Gonzales is awesome:
The Force Awakens Trailer #3 – Music Only Edit
The soundtrack is very effective – I can actually feel the goosebumps moving along my arms and scalp! Apparently the trailer music is a combination of new composition and previous music; see the write-up by Peter Sciretta at /Film.
And this Han’s flashback video by Nick Skywalk does a fantastic(!!) job cutting in scenes from the original trilogy with the Episode VII trailer:
Eight weeks to go!
Bonus link: There used to be a Playstation video game called Star Wars: Masters of Teräs Käsi, published by LucasArts 1997. Teräskäsi is Finnish and literally means ‘steel hand’. This was news to me, but apparently it’s part – albeit a mostly forgotten part – of the official canon. Yay, Finland! 😉

A Star Trek Spin Pumps It Up
I seem to be in a Star Trek frame of mind. Having just finished (re)watching all of TNG, I guess that’s to be expected. Here’s a new spin on “Pump Up the Volume” by MARRS á la every Star Trek franchise:

I’ve certainly been bobbing my head and tapping my foot to this!

World of Warcraft Class Theme Music
Some years ago, back on the old WoW Insider which is no more, there was once a fun post suggesting theme songs for the various character classes. As a classical music fan, I’ve tried to come up with a classical version of the same. Here are my suggestions.
Warrior – Bartok, Hungarian Suite “Bear Dance”
The warrior is an iconic archetype in role-playing games and the World of Warcraft version is much like its ancestors: a heavily-armed fighter who charges into the midst of battle. Bartok’s “Bear Dance” may sound more like a druid thing, but the music carries a feel of martial power fitting to a warrior.

The classics never go out of style.
Seeing trailers in the theatre for Jurassic World and Star Wars: Episode 7 has me humming John Williams themes, so here’s some of the best to enjoy.
