A vocal/video tribute to “The Power of Love” by Huey Lewis and the News as well as the Back to the Future trilogy itself. There’s also a bit of the game Ms. Splosion Man that was brought to life by Twisted Pixel.

What’s worse than getting interrupted by an annoying phone call while playing Ms. Splosion Man you might ask? Well… nothing. Mike goes on a journey through time to save himself from himself.

For Episode 003 of The Hammer Klogs, I decided to take a little bit of a different approach than my previous videos. I try out some new video work ( Nothing fancy.. yet… ) and some camera trickery. Throughout this video, I build on Jordan’s point that the beauty of art ( or more specifically music in this case ) is in the eyes of the beholder. After speaking a bit on the topic, I do a vocal cover of the song Wither by Dream Theater. This is something I have wanted to do for quite a while now as this song holds a special place in my little Hammer K heart.
