Rock Band Weekly: The Offspring, Smash Mouth
The Offspring and Smash Mouth bring some individual tracks to the Rock Band music store next week. The Offspring track, entitled "Days Go By," is actually the title track off their latest album. Smash Mouth has a pair of more classic '90s tracks with "Why Can't We Be Friends" and "Can't Get Enough of You Baby".
Rock Band Weekly: Serj Tankian, Smash Mouth, The Used
Serj Tankian or The Used should probably be our focus for next week's Rock Band DLC -- however, we can't get Smash Mouth's "All Star," also available next week, out of our heads. That song is the musical equivalent of one of those brain beetles from Wrath of Khan. Get it out, get it out, get it out! Ahhhhhh! Check out the full release list after the break.
CES keynote to demo cool new tech despite ridiculous name
Monday's CES keynote will see Intel CEO Paul Otellini's presentation on what he's calling 'Third Life' -- a furthering of the concepts behind what has made Second Life so popular. The technology behind the keynote -- a virtual performance of 'Walkin' on the Sun' by actual Smash Mouth members -- will showcase the latest improvements in motion capture, streaming media, and multicore processors.I'm glad Intel is taking such an interest in the future of online social environments, but Smash Mouth? Hey, I enjoyed that earworm as much as anyone when it debuted ... in 1997. Can we move on, please? And 'Third Life'? Does this mean we can expect next year's presentation to be called 'Fourth Life'? Will we see a 'Three-point-Five-point-Two Life' between now and then? Stick with hardware, Intel, and let Chiat-Day handle the promotional stuff.[Update: Sister site Engadget has a liveblog of the keynote]
