Unoriginal Soundtracks #58: Football Manager

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.

Video games are about aspirational fantasy and living new lives. And sometimes those lives are mundane things like an asteroid miner or a manager. The lives of football managers inspire this playlist of spoken word, soul, and punk.
