Much like Eminem, who dropped “Mosh” only a week before the vote, APC waited way too long to make their statement, rendering the album obsolete on arrival. Not so genius move releasing it on fucking Election Day.

A genius move in that APC have built a career out of paring Tool’s impenetrable proto-industrial epics into easily digestible, radio-ready finger foods hence their reach extends past Tool’s into Britneyville, making them the right vehicle for such a project. We can comfortably assume that by releasing a covers album of eclectic protest songs at the climax of a toss-up election year, this Tool side project intended to sway the GOP-leaning element of its fan base. Yet each disc here plays like a mix by a particularly astute specialist: On Radio X, you get terrific boilerplate like the rain-king rush of Soundgarden’s “Rusty Cage” and the Hollywood-sign stomp of Stone Temple Pilots’ “Plush,” but between the evergreens someone’s idiosyncrasies start to show in choices like Danzig’s high-romantic “Mother” and L7’s grunge satire “Pretend We’re Dead.” K-DST, the classic-rock warhorse, accents “Free Bird” and Grand Funk Railroad with Rod Stewart’s “Young Turks” and the least strident of all the Who’s palsied white-funk gems, “Eminence Front.” Dub-reggae K-JAH offers the Max Romeo tune Kanye West sampled for Jay-Z’s “Lucifer,” and rare-groove Master Sounds 98.3 connects Rob Base back to Lyn Collins’ “Think (About It).” The effect is bricolage itself: You get introduced to a new act, you feel that much closer to the game, and you swoon in remembrance of the meddling narc you ran over at the mini-mart. After all, this is the soundtrack for a game that manages to boil Scorsese-grade back story down to a cynical ambiance of crime-family whack jobs and white-flight urban decay. It’s not having your life changed by the same Shins song as Natalie Portman, but it’s not bad.įor folks not looking to spice up the streets of suburban Wichita, what’s compelling about the GTA box is its musical generosity. (Rockstar Games’ first attempt at this sort of market incursion-real-life consequences for drug trafficking and vehicular manslaughter-tested poorly with focus groups.) Each CD samples from a different San Andreas radio station, which means you can drive around in your hatchback blasting modern-rock Radio X without having to kill anyone in the process. showcased the curatorial possibilities of the form: “Dude, who are the Long Winters, and where can I purchase more of their modestly satisfying product?” The new eight-disc box set that accompanies Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas performs a different function: extending the wildly popular video game’s concept into ours.

iTunes and its less legitimate peers have made mixtape connoisseurs out of us all, so it makes sense that in America we’d look to culture to give us what we can make ourselves. The success last year of the sensitive-indie-heavy Garden State soundtrack was just one more sign that we’ve settled firmly into the Age of Bricolage. In Los Santos you'll come upon subjoined Tags, after spraying them they are covered by the Tag of the Grove Street Families.Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas Official Soundtrack Box Set

You don't have to spray the Tags in a certain order. From now on Grove members can also carry a knife, Desert Eagle or SMG. After you spayed all the Tags a sawn-off shotgun, Tec-9, AK 47 and molotov cocktails can be found in the kitchen of the Johnson House.

In this mission is explained how to spray the Tags by aiming a Tag with a spray can and by using the "fire-button" to spray the Tag. You'll have to spray these Tags with a spray can, which can also be found in the bedroom of the Johnson House after the mission Tagging up Turf.

These are graffiti which are sprayed by the different gangs to mark their territories and this way warn other gangs they are on hostile ground. In GTA San Andreas you'll find 100 Tags spread over Los Santos, also known as Gang Tags. Main Page > Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas > Locations > Tags
