Unoriginal Soundtracks #81: Assassin's Creed 4

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.

Going from metal to male-voice choir to blues to sea shanty, this playlist is as contrasting as the 18th/21st century sci-fi/swashbuckler it's all about. It's not pirating if you hit the Amazon Associates links.

Video Round-Up: The One-Man Band Edition

Video Round-Up is a weekly post collecting an assortment of videos from around the web. Whether they be music videos, creative viral marketing, just plain cool, or just plain ridiculous, they will all be found on Video Round-Up.
I once saw a guy that called himself The Amazing Elephant Man. He wore an Elephant Man Halloween mask, had a headset microphone, played a mini-accordian with his hands, a cymbal with one foot and a kick drum with the other. It was a strange but amusing concert, but not exactly what I would pay good money to see. In the age of electronics, however, the idea of the one-man band is completely revitalized. Just take a gander at some of these examples.
