Unoriginal Soundtracks #91: Spintires

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. Make requests to @USPodcast on Twitter.

Spintires is a surprisingly fun offroading simulator. Instead of Euro Truck Simulator's sat nav, you scout the terrain in your soviet Land Rover knockoff and devise the best route to take your log-laden trucks. This playlist of southern rock, country, and rap would fit on one of the vehicle's tape decks, if communist Russia allowed such western decadences.

Unoriginal Soundtracks #90: Super Hexagon

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. Make requests to @USPodcast on Twitter.

Super Hexagon is a fast paced gauntlet-running game with a chiptune-techno soundtrack. There's no techno here, but this playlist is full of funk, punk, and pop about geometry.

Shuffled #59: The Long Play

Every other Wednesday either Matt or Alex C-Y share their love of music in an assortment of ways. Shuffled is a podcast whose format is as varied as their tastes in music, so hopefully you won't ever be bored and everyone can find something to enjoy.

The average length of song these days is somewhere around 3 minutes (Ed. Note: This is 100% a guess). The average length of the songs on this week's podcast is about 9 minutes (Ed Note: Somewhere thereabouts). I suggest tucking in for the long haul on this one, because while the playlist only has 9 songs in it, the show is a well over an hour (Ed. Note: 1 hr 31 mins and 18 sec to be exact).
