Hey guys just wanted to say whats up and invite you guys to also check out my Hip Hop Social Networking site Digital Grime we discuss a number of topics and you can always harrass Capt’n Jack from time to time.

…It’s more likely than you think.  I just read this article on Joystiq, and after I stopped gasping in joy and disbelief long enough, I decided to post the news here to share it with the 5 people who know about this site.  Not only are some Devo songs coming to Rock Band, but they actually re-recorded “Through Being Cool” just for the game, replacing all the synth solos & leads with guitar!  Somebody slap me dead in the face so I know I’m not dreaming.  Good God, it’s from a video interview.  I’m off to watch that now.

According to this Joystiq post, the Rock Band DLC has been accidentally announced for the rest of January:

Jan 23rd: Oasis Pack
I’m not even going to go into this since I hate Oasis so goddamm much. I’d rather put a drill in my ear than hear Wonderwall or Don’t Look Back In Anger ever again, let alone PLAY them.

Jan 30th: Progressive Pack (!!)
“Siva” by Smashing Pumpkins
(don’t know this one, but hey, it’s the Plumpkins!)

“Working Man” made famous by Rush
(there’s better Rush songs out there, but I do enjoy this song. Also, more Rush is never a bad thing)

“Ten Speed (of God’s Blood and Burial)” made famous by Coheed and Cambria
(my other favorite song from my favorite C&C album, aside from the one that came with Rock Band (Welcome Home). The lyrics are ridiculous because it’s about the crazy writer character literally arguing with his bicycle about whether he should kill off a major character in the big sci-fi story, but it rocks so hard I really can’t fault it. This is a dream come true and will be the culmination of all my hard practice in the car this week. ……I am, however, slightly concerned about it being a cover. I find it very hard to believe that they found a singer who sounds like Claudio. Of course, that singer will be ME, so we’ll see.)
