feel good friday: the music edition

It's Friday! Today's post is all about new, feel-good music: a Lady Gaga parody, a gamer music video and some classic hits. Enjoy them after the jump...

For the Lady Gaga fans: Someone sent me this link on twitter and it became an instant favorite. Nerds can rock too, y'all.

For fans of The Guild (Guildies): If you haven't seen the web series The Guild, you don't know what you're missing. Seriously. Stop reading this post and check it out. It's a dramedy about a group of online RPG gamers, and the hilariously painful drama that ensues when the Real World starts messing with Game World. 


Plus, the actor who plays Bladezz? Yeah, I find him randomly hot. (Update: And....I just perved myself. How did I not notice this guy is only 19?) 


Anyway, here's "Game On", a bonus music video from the series:

New Music Finds: I'm expanding my music collection to include more classics: Old school, smooth music from a time before anyone knew how to say "Auto tune." Classics like Frank Sinatra, Edith Piaf & Billie Holliday. My newest editions are Joni Mitchell and Nina Simone. I've been a fan of Nina Simone's work since I heard "Sinnerman" played in The Thomas Crowne Affair. So far, my favorite songs from each album are:

Nina Simone

• Sinnerman
• Strange Fruit
• Four Women
• Blue is the color of my true love's hair

Joni Mitchell 

• A Case of You
• Both Sides Now 

Any recommendations for music videos or songs to add to my collection?
