Unoriginal Soundtracks Podcast: Plants vs. Zombies 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, 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 is a cute, 2D examination of environmentalism -- the braindead waves of meat throwing themselves against peaceful plants; the silent, still, but strong confidence of mother nature's stance against those who would destroy her. Also, it's an excuse for some classic rock and some horror punk.
