Video games compel me to listen to more music. This time it was Brütal Legend, a combo adventure/rpg/tower defense/metal game involving Jack Black as a roadie who gets teleported to way back in time, like before 1972. The soundtrack for the game was amazing, including a lot of bands I hadn’t heard of before, like Brocas Helm and Riot. It is a bummer that Riot had to change their name after Quiet Riot blew up, because honestly the original Riot tears it up.

Here’s Road Racin, set over a pretty decent video made by a fan.
