Take a listen to Fallout 4's new (old) musical selections
Fallout 4 may not have charismatic disc jockey Three Dog (bow wow wow), but it does have three-times as much music as Fallout 3. Bethesda set the score for Fallout 4's licensed soundtrack in a new article on Bethesda.net, complete with a sampling from the Commonwealth airwaves.
Hit up the Spotify playlist below if you want to pretend you're already tuned in to Diamond City Radio. Just like Galaxy News Radio in Fallout 3, the new station is hosted by a "charmingly quirky" DJ who will offer updates based on your progress in the story and other happenings in the Commonwealth. If you get tired of hearing hugely on-the-nose tracks like "The End of the World" and "Crawl Out Through The Fallout," you can always tune in to the classical station.
Diamond City Radio will also have five original songs from Lynda Carter (yes, Wonder Woman Lynda Carter) who plays Magnolia, a club owner/singer/probably questgiver from the town of Goodneighbor. Magnolia's music is meant to sound at home between Bing Crosby and Nat King Cole, so you may not even realize it was created just for the game - at least until she starts singing about caps and super mutants.
Fallout 4 comes out on November 10 - just put that playlist on repeat in the meantime.

I got a BA in journalism from Central Michigan University - though the best education I received there was from CM Life, its student-run newspaper. Long before that, I started pursuing my degree in video games by bugging my older brother to let me play Zelda on the Super Nintendo. I've previously been a news intern for GameSpot, a news writer for CVG, and now I'm a staff writer here at GamesRadar.
