Those smarties at Wideload Games achieved two things when they developed Stubbs the Zombie; a top-knotch, darkly humorous game AND an outstanding soundtrack.

I got my copy of the soundtrack bundled with the original Stubbs the Zombie game, back in 2005. The game features a lot of the music on the soundtrack - so it was an amazing bonus, one I still listen to today.

The Meat

Now, I would be the first to say that I’m not a music expert, but I do know what I like, and its this. The soundtrack features covers of various songs from the 50’s and 60’s - such as “My Boyfriend’s Back” by The Angels, “Mr. Sandman” recorded by The Chordettes and my personal favorite The Wizard of Oz- “If I Only Had a Brain“. These classics are re-recorded and spun by fantastic bands like: Death Cab for Cutie, Cake, The Dandy Warhols, The Flaming Lips and many more. Phantom Planet’s The Living Dead is the only original recording on the soundtrack, but its a very welcome addition.

Here is the complete track listing.

1. Ben Kweller - “Lollipop“
2. The Raveonettes - “My Boyfriend’s Back”
3. Death Cab for Cutie - “Earth Angel”
4. Rose Hill Drive - “Shakin’ All Over”
5. Cake - “Strangers In The Night”
6. The Walkmen - “There Goes My Baby”
7. Rogue Wave - “Everyday”
8. The Dandy Warhols - “All I Have To Do Is Dream”
9. Oranger - “Mr. Sandman”
10. The Flaming Lips - “If I Only Had a Brain”
11. Clem Snide - “Tears On My Pillow”
12. Milton Mapes - “Lonesome Town”
13. Phantom Planet - “The Living Dead”

The Bones

No bones with this one, it is a little hard to get the soundtrack in stores - but you can thank the zombified deity of your choice that online distributors, like Amazon.com, still carry it.

The Taste

Its good, real good, I still listen to it - and I’ve had it for 3 years. Get your teeth into it.
