‘This is Aperture’ music video channels The Nightmare Before Christmas
This past holiday, while we were busy sipping eggnog and chorusing the neighbors with classic holiday tunes, a group of dedicated Steam forum members were creating an incredible Christmas music album featuring Valve characters. “Goodbye Christmas Caroline” spawned more than an album, though, as one especially holiday spirit-filled member then crafted an entire music video around one particular track.
“This is Aperture” takes the characters we’ve come to know and love fear from the world of Aperture Science and recasts them as singers in a magnificently dorky rendition of The Nightmare Before Christmas‘ “This is Halloween.” Take a look at the rather impressive re-creation above and then compare it against the original just after the break! Consider it a late holiday gift from us to you, but, ya know, one that we totally didn’t make.

Journey: Behind the Music
Wondering what goes into crafting Journey‘s beautiful orchestral soundtrack? Thankfully, it has absolutely nothing to do with the stadium rock band of the same name, and everything to do with the Macedonia Radio Symphonic Orchestra. No joke!

‘PlayStation Game Music’ service streams PS3 music from phones in Japan
This is so cool. Well, maybe “cool” isn’t the right way to describe a service that lets you stream Final Fantasy music from anywhere, but we like the idea. In Japan, Sony just started a “PlayStation Game Music” service that allows subscribers to several mobile services to play music from first- and third-party PlayStation games.

In Japan, Sony just started a “PlayStation Game Music” service that allows subscribers to several mobile services to play music from first- and third-party PlayStation games.
The official (again, Japan-only) launch is accompanied by music from Final Fantasy XIII-2, and the Monster Hunter, Dynasty Warriors, and Yakuza series. It would be dangerous for us to walk around Tokyo to the music from Yakuza — we’d be liable to start throwing bicycle wheels at anyone we saw in a suit. And it’s always dangerous for us to hear the FFXIII-2 Chocobo theme.
Along with those, the service will also stream PS3 system sound effects. That “cool” label is looking really hasty now.
