It looks like I will end up purchasing only 8 songs including American Pie (and no packs) in 2013, excluding RBN. Congrats to Chevelle fans but this is a definite no for me.

Hopefully whatever...

I'd like to add my thanks to everyone at Harmonix for the entertainment they have provided over the years. I could ramble for pages about the good times Rock Band has provided me and my friends (but...

I skipped a lot of pages, but Mighty Mighty Bosstones? The only other song we got from them was on RB2 (late 2008), but according to Wikipedia was a re-record from earlier that year, close to 5 years...

I'm sure Harmonix would love to release I Was Made For Loving You as DLC. It is unlikely they have been sitting around for years thinking "Screw that song and it's fans". I am also sure it would sell...

A long time ago I decided to create a mock RB3 setlist. I never intended to post it, and any temptation I had was removed when keyboards and harmonies were announced.

The basis of the setlist...

I know little about animals. Is that a groundhog? If so, as previously pointed out, the film Groundhog Day's theme of events repeating make Green Day likely (says Desverger, playing the role of...

Commercial radio in Australia has long been required to maintain a quota of local content - I think 25% of songs played must be by Australian artists. This has several obvious impacts;

- radio...

DMB means nothing to me. Never heard them on the radio, so they must be one of those bands crowded out of local radio in favour of local bands (see also Cinderella, Night Ranger). I have a friend who...

As usual I have no idea. The following are touring locally this month, so I'll pick something random from them; Billy Bragg, The Living End, SNAP, Matchbox Twenty, Elton John, Dexy's, Between the...

Probably nothing for me this week - might get What I Got some day if I get bored.

The "streak" (such as it is) ends IMO when Harmonix does not release downloadable content in a week. I don't believe this ended when Blitz came out (the whole game is downloaded, and exports for...

I remember Down, and hearing it again brings back good memories. The other 311 songs don't grab me. Still, just having one worthy song this week makes this week a win.

Real Prediction - jumping on the Killers bandwagon

Bonus prediction - Random Bug Pack

Phish - Bug
Regurgitator - Black Bugs
Presidents of the USA - Bug City
Blur - Bugman
Dire Straits - The...

Not my thing. Maybe next week.

I think it's pretty good for what it is, but unfortunately what it is is not what greatly interests me. I'll probably play it a few times more (for the novelty and the cheaper achievements), but I...

There are three cover songs on the Lego RB disk alone (Life is a Highway, Word Up, Real Wild Child), while other covers available include Ring of Fire and Kids in America. HMX will go for whichever...

Good to see The Strokes again, and the one I like most from that album too. I like their old stuff better than their new stuff, but I'll still be buying this song first chance I get.

Now, if only...

I suspect it would be something like Kelly Clarkson, going off recent history.

But a more fun prediction would be:

Blue Öyster Cult 01
Burnin' For You
Flaming Telepaths
7 Screaming Diz...

I'll have to add myself to the grump column. I figure out of the songs announced to date I would probably have bought at most 9 as DLC, several of which without great enthusiasm. To say I wouldn't...

I'll go for a themed week....

B-52's - Love Shack
Hoodoo Gurus - Miss Freelove '69
Chef from South Park - Simultaneous
