MUSIC MON! JONTRON & YUNGTOWN ARE SPACE COWBOYS!


The first video in today's queue is the fantastic cover of Katie Perry's Firework by Jontron. It's been a long time coming-- like five years long time coming-- since Jontron first teased his audience with an incomplete cover at the end of his Dino City video from 2011. It is a pretty great cover and the video is electric thanks to the collaborative efforts of a bunch of talented animators.

On a side note, we are stuck with Katie Perry's Firework until we die thanks to it being a fun pop song with a theme that can easily be tied into every 4th of July firework celebration from now until the end of time. I dunno if that's good or bad, but it certainly is a thing.


Twilight Princess's HD remake came out for the Wii-U and I bought it but... I haven't played it yet because I promised myself to finish some of the other games I've bought before I do so. I beat Pokemon Blue's 3DS shop remake and currently I'm working my way through the main storyline of Fallout 4 with my character Patagonia O'Brian.

But I can't wait to play Twilight Princess again. It's my favorite 3D Zelda game.


Cowboy Bebop is one of the best animated series ever made. I got my parents to watch it with me when I got it on bluray and the animated film, from which this sequence is from, is a fantastic example of animation that is hip, stylish and has scenes constructed with such hypnotically smooth movement that it is hard not to admire it. Check it out.

MUSICAL MONDAY! JONTRON SCOOBSTEP MUSCLE MUSIC!

MUSICAL MONDAY PRESENTS

And another triple feature seems in order, given there have been no run away hits in my book in the last week and because I love sharing more with you guys when I can! This week we got a triumvirate of nostalgia, weirdness, and certainly nerdy stuff for you to enjoy.

First up we got another remix from the internet's favorite remixer Pogo, famous for his remixes of Disney audio and imagery, as well as media from other films, into intensely satisfying, beautiful, and oddly creepy music. His work often gives off an unsettling feel, but that just makes it more and more interesting-- kind of like looking around an old antique shop full of oddities or falling down a well into a Wonderland.

It is always simultaneously magnificent and mortifying; a dream that you can't quite remember, but want to revisit. Make sure to like, subscribe, and download.

And next up we have...


Old Spice has a way with advertising their material that speaks to the internet; they tickle our heartstrings and our brains by exploiting a mix of bizarre imagery, cult celebrity cameos, and, occasionally, a really clever idea. The music video posted above is based on the newest internet ad and interactive musical thingamajic, starring action star Terry Crews, and literally asking us to remix and play with their tools to create kooky music. Check it out at the link below...


And lastly....


Perhaps my favorite moment of Jon Tron's show, where he reviews retro and newer video games, is at the end of the review of Dino City. Check out the review below.


I've actually featured Jon Tron on her before as part of GAME GRUMPS Word of the Day article, where some of Jon's awesome fans remixed his and Egoraptor's dialogue (and impromptu music) into hilarious homages.

And that's all folks. Thanks and remember, "you're a firework."
