I was in high school in the early 2000s, a few years before Cat and Marlena were - but like them, I preferred the older stuff, and was a bit of a snob when it came to Top 40 radio (except for the Dixie Chicks). That’s one hundred percent ode to the songs I loved as a teenager. But the plot is fictional, the girls are characters, and the story is not my own.Įxcept for the music. I have written nonfiction about losing a close friend from high school it’s no secret that certain elements of the novel are influenced by real experiences. I find this question annoying, but it’s not totally unjustified - the narrator of the book, Cat, is a woman slightly older than me, also from northern Michigan, looking back on an adolescent friendship that ended in tragedy and changed the course of her life. The book came out earlier this month, and in the last couple of weeks, I’ve been asked over and over again how autobiographical it is.
And so perhaps it’s not a surprise that my debut novel, Marlena, is set in this remote and beautiful place, and that the girl at the heart of the story harbors secret dreams of becoming a singer. I grew up in rural northern Michigan, incongruous land of both country music radio and months of endless snow. Folk music is my drug of choice, anything nostalgic, women with hard-living voices, and yes, I love a good sad man with a guitar. I like country more than I want to admit. I should get this out of the way up front - for me, music is for singing, and for feeling.

Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy releases for PS4 and PS5, Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S, PC, and Nintendo Switch via Cloud Gaming on October 26. We don’t know if Warlock shows up in the Square Enix game, but we’ll get to find out soon. Not to mention, some pretty huge Guardians MCU news broke yesterday: Will Poulter was cast as Adam Warlock in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 3. A Grand Theft Auto Trilogy remaster was confirmed by Rockstar last week. It’s worth noting that another great game with 80s music, Grand Theft Auto : Vice City, is getting a major remake treatment. With a launch trailer released, we’re truly in the endgame now. Speaking of selling, you’ll see your favorite game shop or big box store selling this game soon. The idea of kicking some alien ass to “Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go” is enough to sell me on the game. There are some true 80s gems on this list. Overall, I’m really happy with the lineup of tunes.
Twisted Sister – We’re Not Gonna Take It.Scandal featuring Patty Smyth – The Warrior.Pat Benatar – Hit Me With Your Best Shot.Tears For Fears – Everybody Wants To Rule The World.Wang Chung – Everybody Have Fun Tonight.Blue Oyster Cult – Don’t Fear The Reaper.
Here’s the full 80s-fueled game soundtrack for Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy: Well, we don’t have to worry about that, my friends. Without a killer soundtrack, the game wouldn’t feel quite right. Of course, gameplay is only part of the concern for a Guardians game. These are things that the next Marvel game can address and I’m hoping it does. Additionally, the combat didn’t fail players it simply didn’t offer enough variation over time. Firstly, it utilized cutscenes to really well to tell a good story. Despite its issues, the game did a few things well. I’m fully aware that Marvel’s Avengers didn’t quite live up to the hype. Let’s look at the soundtrack and decide which tracks are going to make us “Turn Up The Radio.” Here’s the Full Game Soundtrack for Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxyįrom revealing Cosmo to some killer game trailers, my hype is full steam ahead for the release of Square Enix’s Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy. I’m honestly just happy they’re putting so much effort into honoring the 80s nostalgia for the game as they do in the MCU. Yeah, the game is likely going to be a blast.
There’s no denying that Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy is going all-out for its game soundtrack judging from the released tracklist. The things that pull us back in time to happier, familiar places are always there for us thanks to music. Peter Quill holding music to such a high value in his mind and heart makes sense. The way in which music and other media imprint on our psyche is immediately relatable. So much of Guardians of the Galaxy pulls from popular culture.
