Unoriginal Soundtracks #80: Call of Juarez Gunslinger

Every other Wednesday, I share a playlist of songs tangentially related to a single game or series. Songs about alien sex for Mass Effect, world leaders for Civilization, and so on. Make requests to @USPodcast on Twitter.

Of all the instalments in Ubisoft's western series, this one is neither bad nor ugly. Call of Juarez: Gunslinger inspires this playlist of rock and roll, metal, and folk.

The Monthly Music Wrap-Up: May 2011

The Music Wrap-Up is a monthly summary of my favorite and other notable new releases. Having trouble keeping up with all the new music? Need some music suggestions? Then the Music Wrap-Up is for you. And please support these musicians as that's the reason I'm featuring them in the first place.
This is easily the biggest Wrap-Up I've done since it became a podcast. This month's episode if stuffed full of great music from a lot of big names and several not-so-big names as well. Everything from big indie acts to often-thought-dead punk legends. Sit back and enjoy, it's the Monthly Music Wrap-Up.

Unoriginal Soundtracks Podcast: GTA San Andreas Edition

But it was the furthest the series went in giving you the American dream -- you go from a skinny nothing to owning the skies.

It also provides plenty of opportunity for foreigners to explain this in song.
