    Need for Speed was that series for me. Pendulum, Justice, The Qemists, Junkie XL, Hyper, Madeon, Feed Me, Nine Inch Nails, Celldweller, The Prodigy, The Chemical Brothers, Noisia, Haezer… Man NFS had some killer soundtracks.

      My brother’s friend died young when we were in school, and definitely played Tony Hawk.
      My brother bought him this song for the funeral. Not sure if the parents appreciated/understood it, but it was a nice thing nonetheless.

    What’s so great about Taylor Swift? Everyone talks about how “great” Taylor Swift is. Taylor Swift isn’t so great. She never got her picture on a bubble gum card. Have you ever seen her picture on a bubble gum card? Hmmm? How can you say someone is great who’s never had their picture on a bubble gum card?

    SKATE 2 had a totally banging soundtrack. No Swift. She has a terrible reach into the skate game history books.

    I still listen to the THUG soundtrack, shifting away from the NOFX/QOTS/Bad Religion/Social Distortion bands I was into when I played as a teen, towards other songs I overlooked:

    • Stiff Little Fingers - Suspect Device

      • Literally written during and about the Troubeles in N Ireland, fantastic punk/protest song.
      • https://www.50thirdand3rd.com/stiff-little-fingers-suspect-device/
      • https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=on6DxBgfsDY
    • Smoke Blow - Circle of Fear

      • My first foray into Kraut Rock. This whole German Angst album is pretty good.
      • https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=6ruaKlr3Pms
    • Mastodon - Crusher Destroyer

      • Not their greatest song, but it defintely opened me up to their rest of their stuff.
      • https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=5m4-5WSkJDg (this song gets good for exactly 30 seconds at the 1:00 mark)
    • Assorted Jelly Beans - Rebel Yell

      • This song used to irritate the hell out of me when I first heard it. Babyish, lazy, unfocused?

      • https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=iPRkURH8pCk

      • As I got older, I started to appreciate the creativity and the many mood shifts within it. I count at least 5 distinct shifts. It’s a patchwork of several different songs squashed together brilliantly.

      • Plus, try to match the tempo of the singer when he sings at 0:37:

        The spotlight’s shining, heard you had something to say
        The hourglass is pouring, your boring crowd fades away

        It’s harder than it sounds
