I can't get soundcloud to work. Is that the famous The Christmas Song? You know, "chestnuts roasting on an open fire"?

Nope, just a Christmas song called "The Christmas Song". Well, "The Christmas Song (Live)" since it is that live take.

Chestnuts is copyrighted.

Well, I had planned to release a video of Gemini today, but on account of the last minute error and the Creators site being down this past week, I won't be doing that quite yet. I hope to have that resolved soon, as well as getting Bottle Rocket to release.

Nothing new to announce, but things are still moving behind the scenes though. Getting the Sunny Side Up stems is taking a bit longer than expected, but the unrelated song with the amazing vocal chart is still progressing.

Hey guys, it's about time for our announcement!

Vat19.com, purveyors of curiously awesome gifts, have been running one of the biggest and coolest web stores around. The site has been around since 2001, and has been selling unique products since 2005, and in that time, they've released many wonderful videos advertising their products. A few of these ads were music videos for their products.

Well, we here at Alt-Strum are proud to announce we'll be bringing two of Vat19.com's songs to the Rock Band Network!

The first track, "Party Bear", is a dance anthem about their 26 pound party gummy bear, making it the heaviest song on the RBN (see what I did there?). The second track, "Das Beer Boot", features Vat19's own German superstar, Hans Gretel, and a 40-ounce glass boot.

You can check the songs out by clicking their names above. Remember, if you like what you hear, you can download mp3's of both songs for free by visiting their store page at Vat19.com (both linked below).

If you liked what you saw in the videos, why not check out Vat19.com? Both of the products featured in the songs, as well as most of the other curiously awesome items in the background, are available for sale at their site, so check it out!

And, if you wanna see "Party Bear" in action, we have an in-game preview just for you guys! Click here to check that out!

*Note: This is an early build of the song and is subject to change as it goes through testing*

Timing could be part of it. We're sitting on like 8-9 awesome songs that I'm bursting to tell everyone about, but I can't yet since we're not ready to unveil them. Which is why we opted out of this thread and we're just announcing as they come this month.

Hello! Sorry for the long wait, but I've got a new song, a new video for a previously-announced song, and an announcement from one of GigakoopsRBN's upcoming artists.

First off, the announcement. A few months back, I announced hard rock band Cascade and their single "Circles." Well now you can download their first EP "Anfractuosity" at their site. If you like energetic, vocal-powered hard rock, give these guys a listen, and check out Circles when it comes out on the RBN.

Now for an announcement. I few days ago I hinted at an artist that has been on Rock Band before. I am happy to announce that Daas Bosh is making a return to Rock Band with their 8-minute, two part masterpiece "The Birth/As Long As I Can Say." It starts with a light orchestral and keyboard piece, entitled "The Birth." The second part, "As Long As I Can Say," has got light sections, heavy sections, a guitar solo, and even a keyboard solo (fun fact: I had to reduce the beginning of the keyboard solo so it could be played on a Rock Band keyboard). Look forward to seeing this one soon on the RBN.

Now I also said that they had ties with another artist I'm working with. That would be Hagroth, who's song, "Prey of the Dragon (Lazlolåten)," has been going under new charting. Here's an update. Sadly the guitar on keys thing was scrapped due to authoring difficulty and audience disapproval. But the guitar, bass, drums, and vocals have been changed in spots, and it's worth seeing the new ones. There's still changes being made.

That does it for GigakoopsRBN announcements this month. Make sure to check out gigakoopsrbn.com for more updates as they come.

That's not fun at all.

Whelp I could have left those 32nd triplets in and watched Score Hero b**** about that... then enjoy watching their fingers break when they try to play it...

But I have a feeling that if I didn't, I'd have to after some playtests.
