Thanks for doing that evergoo. its a pain to go back and tally up what everyone voted for after not downloading anything for two months.

[StrandedBrit]

Nothing this week, or last.

[evergoo]

Next week we have a nice, varied selection of tracks coming out. Who do we have? How about the Allman Brothers Band? What about a Franz Ferdinand 3-pack? Or some Luscious Jackson, Alien Ant Farm . What if we followed that up with some, I don't know, Prong and The Distillers. Will that work for you? Works for me.

We'll announce the Wii tracks for next week on Monday, see you then.

Tracks:
Franz Ferdinand - Do You Want To
Franz Ferdinand - Lucid Dreams
Franz Ferdinand - Take Me Out
Alien Ant Farm - Smooth Criminal
Allman Bros - Blue Sky
Allman Bros - Midnight Rider
Distillers - Drain the Blood
Luscious Jackson - Naked Eye
Prong - Idealistic Types
Prong - The Banishment

(All tracks are original master recordings)

Price:
$1.99 or 160 Microsoft Points per track
$5.49 or 440 Microsoft Points for Franz Ferdinand 3-pack

I love the smell of Rock Band DLC in the morning.

[evergoo]

Take Me Out and Smooth Criminal for now. I might add some more as the week progresses.

Mwestep, check you CAG PM box.

[gindias]

Here are my votes in a random order

REO Speedwagon's Roll With the Changes I have been waiting for this one.
Take It On The Run
Styx's Renegade
Any or all of the Janes
Allman Bros Midnight Rider for next weeks stuff

[mwestep]

take me out and smooth criminal

[evergoo]

Updated all votes up to this point.

Since we're winding down on funds and our group will soon disband, would it sound too farfetched if we changed the rules a bit to please everyone's wants? That is, would the group be cool if everyone was allowed to download 2 rejected DLC songs of their choice? I'm sure each of us have had our fair share of votes rejected (due to minority vote) and I think this would be a good way to finish out the account. I believe other gamesharing groups call this form of voting a veto vote.

Here's how the math would work if our group agrees to veto voting:
1.99 x 10 (each member's 2 songs)= 19.90
1.99 x 2 (evergoo's credit) = 3.98
29.91 (Current Balance) - 23.88 = 6.03 (Remaining Balance)

Anyways, thank you everyone for your long term commitment in this group. We are near our 1 year anniversary milestone.

[finsfan0210]

im ok for that if so id call the toby keith song beer for my horses and ill have to look for another song

[gindias]

I am fine with the veto thing, it should prove to be very interesting. How are those pads working out for you Evergoo? I have resisted buying any because I read about a slight delay in the songs from some others and I don't need any help missing notes. I do need something to quite my house down though.

[StrandedBrit]

I'm cool with the veto thing too. Might take me a while though.

In the meantime, yes to Franz Ferdinand - Take Me Out.

[evergoo]

Social Distortion - Bad Luck
Social Distortion - Ring of Fire
Social Distortion - Story of My Life
Disturbed - Stricken
Disturbed - Stupify
Steely Dan - Black Friday
Steely Dan - My Old School
Elvis Costello - Radio Radio
The Replacements - Kids Don't Follow

All tracks are master recordings.

Release Dates:

Tuesday, May 12, 2009 (Xbox LIVE Marketplace for Xbox 360® and in-game Rock Band 2 Music Store for Wii)
Thursday, May 14, 2009 (PlayStation®Store)

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

Price:
$1.99 or 160 Microsoft Points for Xbox 360 per track
$2.00 or 200 Wii Points for Wii per track
$5.49 (440 Microsoft Points for Xbox 360) for “Social Distortion Pack 01”

[evergoo]

Just purchased last week's selection of Take Me Out. Still awaiting finsfan's verdict on Smooth Criminal.

Also used up my $4 credit on The Offspring's The Kids Aren't Alright and Thin Lizzy's Jailbreak. Still kicking myself for hesitating on the last Thin Lizzy song. Remaining balance is $23.94.

For this week, I say yes to Story of My Life and Radio Radio. The first song was fun to play in GH3 while the second was an SNL classic moment.

[mwestep]

ill go along with the veto thing

as for this week, both disturbed songs

[gindias]

Here is what I vote for.

Social Distortion - Story of My Life
Disturbed - Stricken
Disturbed - Stupify
Steely Dan - My Old School

[evergoo]

Just wanted to tell everyone that I downloaded Rag Doll Kung Fu (full game) onto our account for free. I'm doing this for all my long-term groups just in case someone forgets to snatch the game before the 5/21 free exclusive is up.

I believe that this week's vote will officially be our last since the remaining funds will be allocated to veto votes.

[evergoo]

Hmm...

Still awaiting Strandedbrit and Finsfan's votes for this week.

[StrandedBrit]

I'll go with both disturbed songs.

[mwestep]

Since I dont think Alien Ant Farm - Smooth Criminal will go through...

My two veto votes are


Alien Ant Farm - Smooth Criminal
Mute Math - Typical

[evergoo]

Okay...so I was just about to cast my veto votes (Radio Radio $2, The Best Day Ever $1, Hannukah Blessings $1) along with mwestep's but someone depleted all the funds already with 10 unauthorized songs. There is only 6 cents left and I doubt others got the chance to cast their veto votes. These downloads took place on 05/19.

The downloading of these 10 songs were never mentioned on this thread and never received a majority vote:

All I Want
Beer for My Horses
She Sells Sanctuary
Rock 'N' Roll Star
Renegade
Push It
New Slang
More Human Than Human
Jane Says
Jesus Christ Pose

Can someone please elaborate what's going on?

[evergoo]

Thanks to whoever fixed the issue. Mwestep is downloading his veto songs along with mine (we're close AIM buddies) so the account's remaining balance should be $12.11.

Only strandedbrit, finsfan, and gindias have veto votes now. After all veto votes are cast, we should have ~$0.17 remaining.

And gindias, the X-Cell pads are awesome. They increase the radius of hit detection within each pad, have excellent rebound, and are much less noisier than without the X-Cells. Definitely worth the $25 price in my opinion, especially since I have less missed/dropped notes.

[gindias]

Cool I will have to get them, I notice strange missed notes from time to time and it pisses me off. This veto vote means we can pick any 2 songs we want right?
