.
Forget that Jack White finds it "depressing" that kids are learning about music through rhythm games -- there's gold in them thar virtual hills! Next week's Rock Band DLC adds a pack of songs from The White Stripes, with tracks off of three different albums.We've also added this little guy to Rock Band Weekly:
. He indicates tracks that are considered "family-friendly" enough for Lego Rock Band. Such marked songs will be available in LRB's music store, as well as appearing in the regular Rock Band music store. [Thanks to our friend Dustin Burg for the Lego head!]Check out the update after the break, along with what Rock Band Unplugged players can expect for DLC next week.

Rock Band Weekly: Foo Fighters, Nirvana, Joan Jett
by Alexander Sliwinski { Oct 30th 2009 at 11:30AM }
Completely unrelated to Grohl (maybe there's a six degrees of separation in there?), there will also be one track from Ms. Joan Jett thrown in the mix. Check out the update after the break, along with what portable players can expect from Rock Band Unplugged's DLC.

Rock Band Weekly: Rob Zombie, Wolfmother and ... 'Daisy of Love'
by JC Fletcher { Oct 23rd 2009 at 11:45AM }
Also, we have to raise a very important issue: How can you have a Halloween music store update with no "Monster Mash?" How is "Monster Mash" not in the Rock Band Store right now? And whatever happened to my Transylvania Twist?

Rock Band Weekly: Raconteurs, Alanis Morissette, Electric Six, The Flobots
by Alexander Sliwinski { Oct 2nd 2009 at 12:21PM }
Next week's Rock Band Weekly wants to take you to a gay bar. A gay bar, gay bar! Yes, Electric Six's "Gay Bar," which inspired a rather popular piece of World of Warcraft machinima (found after the break), makes its way onto the update.
Also featured: a three-pack of Raconteurs tracks, along with the most ironic song ever: Alanis Morissette's ... "Ironic." Isn't it ironic that the track doesn't actually feature a single example of irony? Perhaps Morissette meant this to be some sort of "meta" irony (although some may disagree).

Rock Band Weekly: Alice in Chains, Breaking Benjamin, Just Kait, Kula Shaker
by Alexander Sliwinski { Sep 25th 2009 at 12:40PM }
Alice in Chains and Breaking Benjamin (pictured doing their best Twilight pose) contribute several new tracks to the Rock Band Music Store next week. We ... sorry, we're just getting lost in those eyes and pale skin. It's mesmerizing.
There are also some additions from English psychedelic band, Kula Shaker, and a value-priced track called "U Suck" by Just Kait -- which, knowing how the comments for RBW tend to lean, could very well be how many of you feel about the artist.

The new tracks will appear on Xbox 360, Wii and PS3 on September 20, 22 and 24, respectively. Also, a special edition of the Backspacer album at Target stores, which releases September 20, will have a code to download the album onto Xbox 360 and PS3.

Rock Band drumming up more business on mobile phones
by Alexander Sliwinski { Sep 2nd 2009 at 2:15PM }
The title will also support multiplayer, along with quickplay, "Tour mode," and leaderboards. We're currently unaware if players will be able to download additional tracks -- there's nothing we'd like more than adding another category to our novella-sized Rock Band Weekly posts.

by Alexander Sliwinski { Aug 14th 2009 at 3:00PM }
So, are we all getting used to Rock Band Weekly across the various platforms being combined in one serving every Friday? No ... um, tough noogies. This is the way it's going to be for the time being. Next week brings a new Foo Fighters pack to the PS3 and Xbox 360, while the Wii gets a whole mess of Red Hot Chili Peppers songs. Meanwhile, Ms. Benatar and Coheed and Cambria make their way to Unplugged. Check it all out after the break..
