Unoriginal Soundtracks Podcast: Catherine 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.

Catherine is drenched in adult themes and alcohol. That makes for a varied playlist of fun blues, rock and roll, and funk about drink; and introspective post-punk and folk-rock about love and marriage.
