[Rock Block] August 1st
Parents just don't understand about your Sex Farm
Published: August 1, 2009
This week brings just one track announcement (so far) but a whole passel of music game genre news, so that's something, right? Who needs more tracks anyway when this week we get a full album by the greatest fictional band of all time. Yep, that's right, Rock Band Led Zeppelin! Oh wait, that's not right... it's the Rock Band Spinal Tap "TAP TEN" Track Pack! Who's Spinal Tap? If you are serious, and maybe you are, then Netflix up the best mockumentary ever made, turn your TV up to 11 (you'll get it after you see the movie) and get ready to be transported to STONEHENGE!
Yes, we love you too.

No new Guitar Hero World Tour tracks announced just now (give it a day) but a couple of pieces of Guitar Hero 5 news have trickled out again.
Garbage lead singer Shirley Manson will be added to the roster of playable characters in the upcoming franchise installment, offering her likeness and distinctive voice to blathering fanboys all over the world. Of course she wouldn't be in without one of the band's tracks, and "Only Happy When It Rains" will be one of the songs on the vanilla version of Guitar Hero 5. Along the same lines, Activision announced the remaining tracks that round out the 85 track set-list that will ship with GH5. The Final additions are:
· 3 Doors Down - “Kryptonite”
· Arctic Monkeys - “Brianstorm”
· Blink-182 - “The Rock Show”
· Dire Straits - “Sultans Of Swing”
· Jimmy Eat World - “Bleed American”
· Johnny Cash - “Ring Of Fire”
· Megadeth - “Sweating Bullets”
· Mötley Crüe - “Looks That Kill”
· Muse - “Plug In Baby”
· Nirvana - “Smells Like Teen Spirit”
· Queen & David Bowie - “Under Pressure”
· Stevie Wonder - “Superstition”
· The Killers - “All The Pretty Faces”
· The Raconteurs - “Steady As She Goes”
· TV On The Radio - “Wolf Like Me”
And just so you remember that there are other franchises out there, we have on quick piece of DJ Hero news to share with you. Those who are a bit older might remember that actor Will Smith was once on a TV show called "The Fresh Prince of Bel Air" (oh Carlton!) and those of you who are a little bit older than that might remember a little duo called DJ Jazzy Jeff and The Fresh Prince, who had a couple of huge hits with "Parent's Just Don't Understand" and "Summertime". Well No Will Smith, but DJ Jazzy Jeff will be a playable character in DJ Hero, and a couple of his mixes will be featured in the game. I for one am going to get a high-top fade RIGHT NOW in anticipation! Later!
And there you have it. Next week will no doubt bring a handful of new tracks (and possibly a full album if you've been really, really good), so check back then to get the skinny on what's hitting that week. We'll be sure to update things as the official announcements come in.
Yes, we love you too.
