Rock Band Weekly: Pat Benatar six-pack
A Pat Benatar six-pack is next week's Rock Band DLC offering. Oh, Pat Benatar. Her music and iconic videos during the early days of MTV traveled on parallel lines of logic. There's "Love is a Battlefield," forever remembered for its shoulder shimmy and then there's the toilet-papered land of "We Belong." Also, in retrospect, the drummer in that latter video totally looks like Buffalo Bill from Silence of the Lambs. Put the Benatar in the shopping basket next week! Full track-pack details can be found after the break. [Pictured: Screencap of "Love is a Battlefield" music video; source: YouTube / GiraldiMedia]

GDC09 Rumor: Rumor is a Battlefield, new Pat Benatar Rock Band incoming
Amidst the drunkenness at the Harmonix Rock Band party, we learned that Pat Benatar's "other really popular song" is headed to Rock Band 2. If you rule out "Hit Me With Your Best Shot" (Guitar Hero 3 launch and Rock Band via DLC) and "Heartbreaker" (Guitar Hero: World Tour), that pretty much leaves "Love Is A Battlefield" as the likely contender. Either that, or they'll go for something super obscure like "Somebody's Baby" from her 1993 "Gravity's Rainbow" album. Uh ... not that we knew that off-hand or anything. [Update! Our drunken source was COMPLETELY WRONG! The new Rock Band song is indeed "Heartbreaker." So how about it, music gods? People are crying out for Love is a Battlefield, and a lot more Bena-tunage. What's next?]
