I don't really have access to CAG during the weekdays, but if someone wants to PM finsfan on CAG that might get an answer quicker.

When I saw Spongebob, I thought it was a band's name...until I YouTube'd it. Anyways, one of my 1st graders sang this song today when I gave him some stickers for working hard.

I'm down for Journey and Spongebob's The Best Day Ever.

[mwestep]

down for journey and heartbreaker

[StrandedBrit]

I initially said no to everything until I listened to this song. It's from the movie Garden State!

[mwestep]

yes to new slang

no to everything else

[evergoo]

Here's a quote from Harmonix's latest press announcement, Rock Band Unplugged (PSP):

"The following tracks will launch exclusively through Rock Band Unplugged on the PSP system for a limited time before becoming downloadable content for the other platforms:

• 3 Doors Down - "Kryptonite"
• AFI - "Miss Murder"
• Alice in Chains - "Would?"
• Audioslave - "Gasoline"
• Black Tide - "Show Me the Way"
• Blink 182 - "What's My Age Again"
• Freezepop - "Less Talk More Rokk"
• Jackson 5 - "ABC"
• Tenacious D - "Rock Your Socks" "

I can't wait to play Kryptonite, What's My Age Again and ABC.

[evergoo]

Voting Snapshots are updated to reflect Gindias' votes.

I have also changed some of my votes to tilt in favor of Shining Star, Heartbreaker, and the Pearl Jam album.

[StrandedBrit]

No to this week. Goo I sent you a PM here.

[evergoo]

It is my pleasure to announce an album next week for all three consoles - Guns N' Roses Chinese Democracy.

Next week’s Rock Band Music Store lineup will feature 13 songs from Chinese Democracy. With “Shackler’s Revenge” from Chinese Democracy already featured on the Rock Band 2 soundtrack, the DLC album includes the following tracks:

Tracks:
Chinese Democracy
Better
Street of Dreams
If the World
There Was a Time
Catcher in the Rye
Scraped
Riad N’ the Bedouins
Sorry
I.R.S.
Madagascar
This I Love
Prostitute

(All tracks are original master recordings)

The tracks will be available for purchase as an album or individual tracks for Xbox 360 and PLAYSTATION 3 system. The tracks will be available for purchase as individual tracks only for Wii.

Release Date:
Tuesday, April 14, 2009
(Xbox LIVE Marketplace for Xbox 360 and in-game Rock Band 2 Music Store for Wii)

Thursday, April 16, 2009
(PlayStation®Store)

Price:
$1.99 or 160 Microsoft Points for Xbox 360 per track
$2.00 or 200 Wii Points for Wii per track
$19.99 (1600 Microsoft Points for Xbox 360) for album

Gotta give this a careful listen. I love a lot of the mainstream GnR songs but Shackler's Revenge didn't impress me. I just noticed it now but Harmonix seems to release an album every 3 weeks based on current trends.

I've been thinking about doing this for awhile now so I guess I'll do it once the account is reactivated. Expect a compiled list of all DLC we have thus far in the not so distant future.

Strandedbrit, I PM'd you.

[mwestep]

I say no to shackler's revenge.

[mwestep]

Any update from finsfan?

Should we go ahead and pay off the $10 so we can get the account unlocked? We are starting to get quite a backlog of downloads....

[evergoo]

Don't worry guys. StrandedBrit or I will make an official announcement soon.

Things will be back to normal some time this week (or next week at the latest).

[StrandedBrit]

Nothing for me this week.

[finsfan0210]

i bought a $11 money order and am sending it in the mail today. I took a pic of it. Sorry for the wait.

Take a gander at the DLC coming out on the week of 4/21! To tie in with one of the current Rock Band sponsored tours, there's a sweet 7 track pack of REO Speedwagon and Styx songs to whet your classic rock whistle. Not enough? Top it off with a Hautewerk 3 pack for dessert! Here's the track listing:

REO Speedwagon - Riding the Storm Out
REO Speedwagon - Roll with the Changes
REO Speedwagon - Take It on the Run
Styx - Blue Collar Man (Long Nights)
Styx - Renegade
Styx - Too Much Time On My Hands
Styx / REO Speedwagon - Can't Stop Rockin'
Hautewerk - Alone in My Head
Hautewerk - I Know Where You Came From
Hautewerk - Stop Start Again

All tracks are master recordings. The Styx tracks are recent re records, and the Styx and REO Speedwagon collaboration Can't Stop Rockin' was recorded in anticipation of their tour together this year.


Release Dates:
Tuesday, April 21, 2009 (Xbox LIVE Marketplace for Xbox 360®)
Thursday, April 23, 2009 (PlayStation®Store)

** Dates for Rock Band game tracks are tentative and subject to change **

Pricing:
$1.99 (160 Microsoft Points for Xbox 360) per track
$10.99 (880 Microsoft Points for Xbox 360) “REO Speedwagon / Styx Tour ’09 Pack”
$5.49 (440 Microsoft Points for Xbox 360) “Hautewerk Pack 01”

[evergoo]

Nothing for me this week.

Btw, I finally dipped on my first set of wireless drums for $70 on Amazon's DOTD today. Even though it's still rather expensive, that's a $20 savings. I also bought some XCell Drum Pads ($25 shipped) to optimize the drums since I've only heard good things about this mod. I'll provide impressions soon.

[finsfan0210]

is the account working now. i saw evergoo login but but when i try to it told me the email or password was incorrect

[evergoo]

The account is now active and the password has been restored to its original default (the first password we created for this account). Finsfan still needs to cast his votes in since he's the tiebreaker in a few situations.

I have bought the following songs below based on majority votes. After an hour of compiling, I have also created a list of every single DLC we own in the other thread. I hope this will prove useful to other members.

$1.99
R.E.M. - Losing My Religion
Average White Band - Pick Up The Pieces
Earth, Wind, & Fire - Shining Star
Papa Roach - Last Resort
Journey - Don't Stop Believing
Pat Benatar - Heartbreaker
No Doubt - New (majority vote failed; evergoo has $4 credit remaining)

$17.99
Pearl Jam - Ten (Album)

Total Cost $31.92
Remaining Balance $29.91

[finsfan0210]
