As gaming further and further ingrains itself as another trademark of ironic hipster culture, we will see more and more bands, especially of the Indie persuasion, adopting gaming motifs as themes for their art. Hence, the above video courtesy of Britain's The Go! Team. While their abilities in the realm of punctuation are somewhat lacking, their talents at combining gaming (even neo-deconstructionist gaming) with the very indiest of Indie Rock in a hilarious music video win them points with even the most jaded hipsters.
(Editor's Note: The song is Junior Kickstart off of their album Thunder, Lightning, Strike. If you feel you need more ultra-hep marching band music, the entire album is of that milieu. -- Nexy)

Off their debut album "Thunder, Lightning, Strike"
That had me the teensiest bit excited there was a new album coming, but alas.
Their whole album is worth checking out as most of the tracks are at this same tempo level/sound, and makes for some excellent fast driving music. Perfect for that next speeding ticket.
What about the Lady Sov video? Tetris ftw!
I nominate Xiu Xiu's Boy Soprano.
Seriously, you can keep her guys. England doesn't want her back.
And what ARE the names and colors of all the Pacman ghosts anyways??
He dicho.
Like momiji58 I was hoping Pacman would show up and save her or atleast a power pellet appear and then they'd turn blue and run away...
Oh well, nice time waster while at work though :) Thanks!
