What Is Your Favourite Video Game Music? (Videogames Talk)

Ever been playing a video game & you fall in love with some of the music you hear contained somewhere within it right there & then? I have & my two favourites are below.....Strangely enough, both of them are from the same year (1996)

ANYTHING goes here Sifters, it doesn't matter if it's opening theme, cut scene, level background music or end credits, if it's from a video game..........I want to hear it.

"A Travel Diary" - (Soul Blade)


Main Theme - (Tomb Raider)

My band (as per sifted video) is up for a national award!

Hi fellow Sifters!,

My small independent band released an EP last year in Ireland, and somehow it's ended up being nominated for a Meteor Choice Music Prize for Song of the Year up against relative giants such as the likes of Glen Hansard (of the "Once" movie and The Swell Season fame).

The award is decided by public vote. So, any chance of a few votes in a national arts awards poll for a fellow sifter?

Have a listen to a "radio edit" here (as sifted by oritteropo): http://videosift.com/video/Le-Galaxie-Love-System-Feat-Elaine-May

And if you like, please give us a nod in the public vote at: https://apps.facebook.com/meteorchoice

Thanks guys

Need Help From Music Nerds/Lovers

In Muse's latest album the last song (Isolated System) plays a piano loop that I just know I've heard before, possibly in a film soundtrack. The loop is best heard in the first 10 seconds (edit: better yet, from 2:04-3:00). I desperately want to find where I know it from, it's driving me mad. Any and all help is much appreciated!

The meaning behind ‘Gangnam Style’ video (and lyrics)

SEOUL, South Korea — South Korean rapper PSY’s “Gangnam Style” video has 220 million YouTube views and counting, and it’s easy to see why. No Korean language skills are needed to enjoy the chubby, massively entertaining performer’s crazy horse-riding dance, the song’s addictive chorus and the video’s exquisitely odd series of misadventures.

Beneath the antic, funny surface of his world-conquering song, however, is a sharp social commentary about the country’s newly rich and Gangnam, the affluent district where many of them live. Gangnam is only a small slice of Seoul, but it inspires a complicated mixture of desire, envy and bitterness.

Here’s a look at the meaning of “Gangnam Style” — and at the man and neighborhood behind the sensation:

PSY – Gangnam Style Lyrics

English Translation:

(Editorial Note: I grabbed this of teh nets so I don't know how accurate it is. Feel free to correct or make more artful Korean sifters)


Oppa is Gangnam style
Gangnam style

A girl who is warm and humane during the day
A classy girl who knows how to enjoy the freedom of a cup of coffee
A girl whose heart gets hotter when night comes
A girl with that kind of twist

I’m a guy
A guy who is as warm as you during the day
A guy who one-shots his coffee before it even cools down
A guy whose heart bursts when night comes
That kind of guy

Beautiful, loveable
Yes you, hey, yes you, hey
Beautiful, loveable
Yes you, hey, yes you, hey
Now let’s go until the end

Oppa is Gangnam style, Gangnam style
Oppa is Gangnam style, Gangnam style
Oppa is Gangnam style

Eh- Sexy Lady, Oppa is Gangnam style
Eh- Sexy Lady oh oh oh oh

A girl who looks quiet but plays when she plays
A girl who puts her hair down when the right time comes
A girl who covers herself but is more sexy than a girl who bares it all
A sensable girl like that

I’m a guy
A guy who seems calm but plays when he plays
A guy who goes completely crazy when the right time comes
A guy who has bulging ideas rather than muscles
That kind of guy

Beautiful, loveable
Yes you, hey, yes you, hey
Beautiful, loveable
Yes you, hey, yes you, hey
Now let’s go until the end

Oppa is Gangnam style, Gangnam style
Oppa is Gangnam style, Gangnam style
Oppa is Gangnam style

Eh- Sexy Lady, Oppa is Gangnam style
Eh- Sexy Lady oh oh oh oh

On top of the running man is the flying man, baby baby
I’m a man who knows a thing or two
On top of the running man is the flying man, baby baby
I’m a man who knows a thing or two

You know what I’m saying
Oppa is Gangnam style

Eh- Sexy Lady, Oppa is Gangnam style
Eh- Sexy Lady oh oh oh oh

*Issy says Oppa means brother.

UsesProzac Gets RUBY!

Attention Siftlandia!



Rubydom has been achieved by none other than our dear @UsesProzac. Yeaaaah... that's right peeps. She is also now the official *Cute Channel moderator. We're like, Channel sisters now!

She is a sophisticated music conoisseur, and enjoys discovering and submitting a lot of quality music herself. I have had the personal pleasure of talking to her and getting to know her on the Sift over the years, as others have, and have a lot of respect and admiration for her and her wicked sense of humor and raw honesty, but with a lot of heart beneath it all.



Let us all congratulate her for this milestone. Enjoy! It IS the prettiest gem!



UP's name is Laura, so here's some pretty music to serenade your milestone. <3 <3 <3 You are a gem! (Also mainly because the songs I found titled "Ruby" were downright crappy!)
