Heard Gotye's Somebody That I Used To Know too many times already? Well, how about just once more. "Somebodies: A YouTube Orchestra" is a mash-up of a tonne of Gotye covers, masterfully put together by the Aussie man himself. You can catch a list of all the videos used in the mash-up over at his blog. Read More >>
A man in drag trolling people on Chatroulette is the only context in which I could ever stomach "Call Me Maybe." But what's disconcerting is that it's making me enjoy the song itself. Read More >>
Don't ask me who PSY is; what Gangnam Style is, or how that shaving foam scene made me feel, but holy geysers of YouTube, this Korean music video is something you're going to want to pass on to your friends. And if this is an accurate translation of the lyrics...then I think I love the song all the more for it. [YouTube via Twitter] Read More >>

Having just seen The Dark Knight Rises I can tell you it's pretty damn good. Almost everything (nothing's perfect, right?) is quality. The soundtrack is another masterpiece too, so dark, grimy and atmostpheric. With this free DKR soundscape app you can literally live the soundtrack as you walk about your own city as if it was Gotham. Read More >>
Instagram has only been around for two years, and spent most of that time in relative geek obscurity. Those days are over. It's Facebook's. It's mainstream. How mainstream? R&B sex anthem mainstream. This is now a real thing. Read More >>

As far as Star Wars parodies go, this video has soared straight into my top five list. Hopefully you've heard the original song, Somebody That I Used to Know, by Gotye (how could you not have? It was all BBC 6 Music was playing, a few months back), but if not, I've got both versions down below for a much-needed lunchtime giggle. Read More >>

Everything about this clip is wonderful. As we mourn the loss of Adam "MCA" Yauch, Portland dad James Winters gathered his kids and his nephew to pay tribute to the late Beastie Boy with this recreation of the music video for "Sabotage." Read More >>
Have you had the pleasure of watching the wonderful BBC series, Life? You probably have. Beautiful HD nature docs provide the perfect visual background for any living room activity. And as many have discovered, they play even better when muted and paired with a soundtrack of your choosing. Read More >>

Thanks to the mainstream success of artists like Skrillex, dubstep is enjoying some widespread appreciation. Wait, but what is dubstep? Most people probably can't tell it apart from other types electronic music. If you're amongst the newly-converted, this video will explain the basics. Read More >>
Who’d have thought that combining what is arguably often the most hateful of new music styles, dubstep, with the simplicity of the classical violin would work, but it kind of just does. It doesn’t hurt that the video was filmed in the awesome ice castles in Silverthorne, Colorado. Read More >>

"Here Comes the Sun" is probably my favorite song George Harrison wrote for the Beatles, probably because it reminds me vividly of the day he died. This new guitar solo is finally bringing the song back to life for me. Read More >>
The hair! The shorts! The Carmen Miranda-style fruit hat! Echo and the Bunnymen had a great sense of humour hiding under that goth-like rock exterior, most obvious in lead singer Ian McCulloch's lyrics. The Game, released in 1987, is one of those songs, the lyrics of which haunt you for hours. Read More >>
The daily Soundtrack post is something I've been looking forward to stealing adopting from our US brother since we launched three weeks ago. What better day to kickstart it on Giz UK than with a classic Stone Roses tune, hours after they announced a comeback tour for next year? Read More >>
It's Apple day! We got phones on the brain, and it's bleeding into our Spotify playlists. We got Beyonce, James Blake, Bon Iver, Phoenix and Rick Ross talking about the various ways they communicate and use their phones. Here's what we're listening to. Read More >>
