HI,

I noticed that there is already a podcast coming up, but in the interim I was thinking on putting together a music podcast with bands that would fit the 6th World. So what kinds of music do people listen to that fits Shadowrun?

The podcast will run for 45-60 minutes (13-18 tracks) and the theme will be Metropolis.

-Chrysalis

There is lots. I use EBM, Trance, Techno, and Hard House. There are lots more as well. If you wanted to include Ambient or scoring music is good as well.

Those are just a few. Also for Halloweeners I play Insane Clown Posse Just because it is silly.

This sounds cool, but there are a lot of tricky legal issues with putting music on a podcast. The RIAA has a real hard-on for this stuff...

check out www.magnatune.com - they are a podcast friendly record label that will, if you have a podcast, give you a "fake" credit card # that allows you to download their albums for free. they are independant artists: their electronic music is amazing.

also look for Creative Commons podsafe music on Google.

Or go to remix.nin.com

Techno, industrial, free.

Since the links to specific songs are wonky, some of my personal favorites are:
Heresy (instrumental)
Reptile (instrumental)
The Perfect Drug (Plug)
All The Pigs, All Lined Up
The Great Collapse
The Greater Good (instrumental)
&
My Violent Heart (This is a Bomb) by Portable Jesus

Here area few links to Podsafe music and/or resources:

So many of my runners have run bodyguard jobs and I used live music to help simulate the run. One of them decided to compile it, and I enjoyed it thoroughly. While mot podcasting, some of these songs either have a very good Shadowrun feel in the lyrics, or are just great songs to fight to.
