Unoriginal Soundtracks Podcast: FIFA Edition

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. Searching for relevant terms on Spotify is a great way to discover new music and uncover hidden gems. Make requests to @USPodcast on Twitter.

FIFA is the video-game world's foremost celebration of association football. Welsh bubblegum punks, Scottish folk singers, and English dancehall emcees have recorded plenty of music about the beautiful game, and some Americans have even written songs I can link to FIFA in this week's Unoriginal Soundtracks.

Unoriginal Soundtracks: Plants vs. Zombies Edition

Every other Wednesday I share a playlist of songs tangentially related to a single game. Songs about alien sex for Mass Effect, songs about world leaders for Civilization, and so on. Searching for random terms on Spotify is a great way to discover new music and rediscover old classics.

Plants vs Zombies' cute aesthetic and accessible, addictive play are slowly infecting game platforms beyond its PC patient zero. Popcap promoted it with an even more infectious music video from the soundtrack's composer, Laura Shigihara. To get this song out of my head, I compiled this playlist. This certainly helped, as it sent me off on tangents, listening to every artist on the list.
