Lindsey Stirling's video for The Arena

This video is everything a post-apocalyptic nerd is after. It has awesome costumes, dancing, fighting, cars that appear to have been beat and rebuilt, dramatic flare, shoulder pads bedecked in sparkling silver plates, and some guy wearing Wind In His Hair's chest piece... Give it a watch. If you like Lindsey Stirling's playing, then you'll love this new song. If you haven't heard of Lindsey Stirling before, then now's the time to give her a try:

Because everyone needs some awesome in their lives: Taylor Davis and Lindsey Stirling playing tunes from Zelda on violin

I was just working through my daily dose of free writing and listening to my "Beats for Studying" station on Pandora when a tune from Zelda, as played on the violin by Taylor Davis, came on. I loved it. I'm a nerd. I'm cool with that. 

Anyway, I thought I'd share. Here are some sweet videos from both Taylor Davis and Lindsey Stirling playing violin (they're both excellent musicians!):

And then one more; this one isn't from Zelda, but rather is Taylor Davis playing "The Hanging Tree" from the film The Hunger Games: Mockingjay. It's pretty freaggin' awesome.
