Radio Broker - Grand Theft Auto IV part 1


Like many of you out there, I'm enjoying GTA IV. Of course, one of the best things about the game is it's 'radio stations'. For it's last three incarnations GTA has been liscensing real world music which adds a whole new level of vitality to the play IMO.

There are quite a few good stations in IV, but my favorite by far is Radio Broker, DJ'd by Juliette Lewis. As tribute to that station, I'll be reviewing each of the tracks from that station, one a day. Where possible, I'll post videos, mp3's and other such links.

The first track is from NY's the Boggs. The band is a staple in the infamous indie scene there. The track is "Arm in Arm", remixed by Shy Child. It's a sparse grindy electro track. Fun stuff for driving around town and blowing things up to. It gets annoying in a few spots, suffering from someone in Shy Child going a bit too far with the distortion and effects. But for the most part, it's a fun ride. Not the best track on Radio Broker, but not a loser either.
