Crusader Kings 2, the simulation of medieval politics, has featured on Unoriginal Soundtracks before. Its multiple expansions since the game's launch almost amount to a whole new game, and the extra content merits this second musical look.

Unoriginal Soundtracks #63: Portal 2
A year ago, They Might Be Giants, the Beastie Boys, William Shatner, and others came together for the Portal episode of Unoriginal Soundtracks. Now, they're back in this Portal 2-inspired playlist about brain damage, experiments, and space.

Unoriginal Soundtracks Podcast: Portal Edition
Portal is an example of what a world-class development studio can do with one great idea, a solid game engine, and some clever writing. It ended on a memorable song by Jonathan Coulton, but left plenty of room for this playlist of soul, spoken word, and scientific comedy songs.

Unoriginal Soundtracks Podcast: Assassin's Creed 2 Edition (Including Brotherhood and Revelations)
Assassin's Creed 2 (including its own sequels, Brotherhood and Revelations) is the pinnacle of musician-harassment simulators. It started with the ability to throw minstrels at cathedrals or into canals, and ended with Ezio infiltrating their ranks to commit crimes against music. Let this playlist of geographical, historical, and irreligious music compensate for those crimes.

The November Music Wrap-Up Podcast
November is over and the end of the year is fast approaching. Which pretty much means all of the best music of the year has been released (very little gets released in December). But don't worry, this is about November still. There were plenty of great releases for me to feature. Sure, a lot of them were EPs, but just because they're shorter than a full-length doesn't diminish their quality any bit. Plus, there are still great full-lengths from the likes of Animals As Leaders, Childish Gambino, Florence and the Machine, Quilt, Steel Panther, and Jonathan Coulton. So let's dig in to all the November has to offer, shall we?

The July Music Wrap-Up Podcast
The July Music Wrap-Up is finally here! I apologize for the delay, but this new job is taking up a lot of my time. Anyway, there was a lot of great music last month, but I spend the first part of the show playing catch up on albums a few months old that I somehow completely missed. That just makes for even more awesome music all in one nice little package, though. If you enjoy any of them, pick up the stinking albums! I'm certainly enjoying them.

Shuffled: Filthy Liar Edition
Every other Wednesday I hit the shuffle button on my 90 gigabytes of music and post the results. I might have to justify some of the stuff in my library, but hopefully it will help inform you of new music -- Or at least be entertaining.
Good lord, doing Shuffled every other week has really exposed how little of my music library I listen to on a regular basis. Actually, I think the first band on this list has come up before and I said I would have to listen to them a bit more. Obviously I never did and I have been outed as a filthy liar. Great. Well, go ahead and enjoy the music anyway.
