Papa Loves Mangling: The Other BioShock Sountrack
2K generously made the BioShock orchestral score available online some time ago, but many have been wondering if we'll ever see a collection of the amazing licensed period music that filled the game - Perry Como, Django Reinhardt, Billie Holliday, etc.
Ken Levine was nice enough to provide Major Nelson with a list of tracks, some of which have links to Amazon where they can be had for $0.89. I've copied the full list after the jump: if you want to cobble together your BioShock lyrical experience, Amazon and iTunes should be able to help you out. And, because it's DIY, you can skip Pattie Page!

Awesome!
I only remember coming across a few a these in my play through - the jukeboxes seemed to cycle the same few songs over and over, and I remember being a little disappointed there wasn't more period music. If I ever get back to playing Bioshock on Hard I'll have to keep my ears open.
Thanks for giving us this diverse list. It's an interesting and useful resource.
