Grand Theft Auto IV
'Tales from Liberty City'

It seems as though that if there's any dough to be made in the music industry, you've either got to be called Susan Boyle, Simon Cowell or become some faceless twat releasing bland, formulaic shite that the herd buy into.

The alternative is getting your music onto a games soundtrack or two, and that's what I've managed to do, somehow. 'Skygazer', from my second LP 'Get Lost' makes an appearance on GTA4.

I was inquisitive as to how my music would slot in to a soundtrack that I assumed would be populated by death metal and / or nosebleed techno, revving up the player to try and slay as many people as humanly possible. Not being a games player myself, I did a little research and it transpires that upon entering your vehicle, or rather breaking and entering into your vehicle, one has the choice of some 15-20 radio stations for entertainment.

My track is featured on 'Self Actualisation FM' which sounds like some new age nonsense. But I have to say that the track slots in rather nicely with some other well known acts!

So whilst you're mowing down innocent pedestrians, you can chill out to the following:
