I hear thunder

but there's no rain.

The Prodigy

check these guys out, fantastic stuff.

For Tax Reasons

An animation "studio" run by Ben Levin and Matt Bunett. Their videos usually center around a pair of gamer/nerds/geeks whatever term you want, who seem to be generally hated by everyone. A couple of music videos and spoof political ads are also thrown into the mix.
The premise may sound like standard fare for webcomics, but these guys really know how to make smart jokes for smart people.

Muse in 1994

These videos are actually kind of surreal to watch. My favorite band and one of the biggest in the world today, playing a battle of the bands...with almost nobody there.

Part 2
Part 3

Seriously, what's in the box?

Valve has said this doesn't have anything to do with Half-Life, although those are pretty close to Combine soldiers...

Oh, and there's music from Lost in the beginning.

Ludo - Broken Bride EP

If you haven't heard of Ludo yet, what's wrong with you? Seriously now, they're a "power pop" band from St. Louis who made an EP about death, time travel, and zombies. It's essentially a rock opera about a man who's wife has died, so he creates a time machine to try and go back to stop it from happening. Along the way he gets stuck in prehistoric times and parties with dinos.
It's an incredibly fun listen as every song leads into the next and the catchy lyrics will definitely keep your attention.

And here for their myspace.
