Fall is coming and Microsoft has revealed September's list of Lips DLC to keep gamers away from the upcoming cold front. This month brings new tracks from Rihanna, The Postal Service, The Bravery and Panic At the Disco, among others. If September's list of DLC isn't enough, October brings the release of the new retail title, Lips: Number One Hits. If you're looking for a new tune to belt out during those cold nights, the Lips franchise has you covered. Wait ... that sounds weird. Available on now: "We Will Become Silhouettes" by The Postal Service "Shut Up and Drive" by Rihanna September 11: "Everything About You" by Ugly Kid Joe "Such Great Heights" by The Postal Service September 18: "Sometime Around Midnight" by The Airborne Toxic Event "Nine In The Afternoon" by Panic!

Rock Band Wiikly: Pearl Jam, Mission of Burma, Offspring and more
Rock Band Wiikly's tap has flowed with massive quantities of tracks for weeks now. Sure, the releases aren't exactly synced with Rock Band Weekly, but the back catalog of Rock Band DLC is certainly being filled in. Our concern that it would take until mid-2010 for the full catalog sync is slowly dissipating. This week's update of 16 tracks to the Wii music store includes the Pearl Jam tracks from a couple weeks back, along with a whole mess of other stuff. Find the full list after the break.
TUAW at E3: Guitar Rock Tour 2 and DJ Mix Tour
While we really liked Gameloft's Castle of Magic at E3, these two music games in their lineup didn't impress nearly as much. Guitar Rock Tour 2 is a sequel to Guitar Rock Tour, and as you can tell from the picture at right, it's more or less a Guitar Hero knock-off: hit the notes as they pass the line at the bottom, and you'll hear whatever song you choose to play. At this point, gameplay on all of these games is more or less the same, so song selection makes the difference, and that's where Guitar Rock Tour 2 falls short: the game contains only four original tracks, and fifteen covers. While they do lay claim to tracks by Judas Priest, Panic at the Disco, Wolfmother, Placebo and Twisted Sister, Tapulous pretty much has the market covered in terms of getting great music playable on the iPhone, and we didn't see anything during our hands on that would attract us away from Tap Tap Revenge and its various forms.DJ Mix Tour is the other music game they showed us -- this one had a club feel and had you pressing notes on a turntable rather than guitar frets. There were some interesting choices in that game -- we saw some covers of Britney Spears club mixes, as well as Lady Gaga and Darude's famous Sandstorm tune, so if you're a die-hard techno fan, there might be some new tunes in there for you among the sixteen total songs. But again, Tap Tap Revenge is so polished after all their updates, and already has such a great selection of tunes that it's hard to recommend Gameloft's versions.Both will be available for $5.99 in the App Store sometime this month.

Screen Grabs: Nokia's XpressMusic 5610 causes Panic at the Disco
Weird -- doesn't that shot above look scarily similar to this one? Okay, minus the coinage, paperwork and miniaturized human. Seems that Nokia's XpressMusic 5610 found its way into Panic at the Disco's That Green Gentleman video, but considering how it gets walked all over and completely disregarded after the 40 second mark, we doubt it stands much chance of getting into the guys' hearts.[Thanks, Jimmy]
