Rock Band 2 wastin' away again in DLC-taville
In one of the most weirdly eclectic DLC updates imaginable, Harmonix has added six new Rock Band 2 tracks to the in-game music store, from four artists: Nine Inch Nails, The Clash, The Ramones, and ... Jimmy Buffett. The full track listing is available after the break, with YouTube links for each.All of these songs are already available on the other consoles' download services, having been released in three pairs throughout late 2007 and 2008. It's basically just a random assortment of stuff from the store. But if you just have Rock Band 2 on the Wii, it's New To You! And we would never complain about an opportunity to listen to "March of the Pigs."
Live Musician: Norris Shepherd
When you log into Second Life next, be sure to check the date -- is it the 13th of June already? Time to wish Norris Shepherd a happy Rez-Day! Shepherd has only been in Second Life for one fun-filled year, and has spent even less time than that as a Second Life musician. He got his start in the Second Life music scene a couple of months in, watching the likes of Capos Calderwood, Skinny Shepherd and TallGuy Kidd, then venturing to a variety of open mics; he went from being awed to being awesome in Second Life in essentially a single gig, for which he rented the gear. Some 130 shows later, he's still out there, wowing the crowds and buying new gear.
Rock Vault brings heavy metal merchandising
Officially licensed merchandise for twelve bands can be found at the new Rock Vault in Second Life. Avenged Sevenfold, Slipknot, Funeral for a Friend, HIM, Kings of Leon, The Ramones, Trivium, Iron Maiden, Bullet for my Valentine, Nickelback, Stone Sour, and Cradle of Filth are the bands represented, though not every one of them has inworld shirts to buy. Whether there are inworld shirts or not (the price for all of them seems to be about L$150) each kiosk links to an online merchandise site where you can order the physical article. Don't go to to sleep quite yet, though. There's something much more interesting about this place than just selling tee-shirts -- thank heavens!
