Like the tortoise and the hare, EA has been defeated in a musical race. Their EA Trax burned rubber right into a brick wall. This allows the Stubbs the Zombie soundtrack to slowly hobbles past the flaming wreckage to the finish line.
Don’t believe me? Take a look at the tracks that are currently playing on my iPod as I type away.
Lollipop - Ben Kweller
My Boyfriend’s Back - The Raveonettes
Earth Angel - Death Cab For Cutie
Shakin’ All Over - Rose Hill Drive
Strangers In The Night - Cake
There Goes My Baby - The Walkmen
Everyday - Rogue Wave
All I Have To Do Is Dream - The Dandy Warhols
Mr. Sandman - Oranger
If I Only Had A Brain - The Flaming Lips
Tears On My Pillow - Clem Snide
Lonesome Town - Milton Mapes
The Living Dead - Phantom Planet
This is what a game soundtrack should be. Stubbs the Zombie could easily have licensed a bunch of old 50s. But instead, Stubbs gets artists such as Cake and The Flaming Lips to cover these old songs! I want to cry.
Buy the game. Buy the soundtrack. Give Stubbs a big sloppy kiss on the mouth. Huzzah for effort in video game production!
