Unoriginal Soundtracks #98: Crusader Kings 2 expansions

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.

Crusader Kings 2, the simulation of medieval politics, has featured on Unoriginal Soundtracks before. Its multiple expansions since the game's launch almost amount to a whole new game, and the extra content merits this second musical look.

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.

Unoriginal Soundtracks #86: Flight Simulator

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.

I believe I can fly. I believe I can touch the sky. I believe Unoriginal Soundtracks for Microsoft Flight Simulator is a playlist of rock about aviation.

Unoriginal Soundtracks #71: Crusader Kings 2

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.

If you can forgive its glitchy tutorial and throw yourself into its intimidating, complicated simulation of an intimidating and complicated time, Crusader Kings 2 is a dramatic empire-builder. It's the topic of today's thoroughly un-medieval podcast of rap, punk, and doo wop.

Unoriginal Soundtracks #50: Plague, Inc.

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 diseased! This one has pneumonia, nauseau, paranoia, and worse. But it does inspire a sick playlist of heavy metal, boogie piano, and novelty rap. Take aurally.

Shuffled #40: Adam's Fav 5

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. 

We are taking a step back this week to an older formula we haven't done in quite a while. Occasionally on Shuffled we invite a guest on to share their favorite songs - ones that might hold some significance to their music history or are just personal favorites. This week my good friend Adam Rodriguez (who's brother Tyler you might remember from a while back) shares his picks of favorite music.
