    I really hate to nitpick Mike but is this really your job? Spend your whole life working for a blog?

    Maybe that's okay for now, but somebody you'll be out of news and swag...then you'll have to make the call.

    Not surprised to see you haven't thought it through enough. You never had the head for all that journalism stuff. But Mike that's what I do, and I plan on reading you daily!

    ... ;)

    @TaylorEatWorld: When my old band went on tour, we had just gotten into Seattle when the venue called us and canceled the show on us. We frantically starterd calling all the clubs and BEGGING for a slot so we could just have SOME kind of show that night. We ended up lying to this club that asked how many people we could draw. They put us in the opening slot for Freezepop that night hahaha... great show, too. She was really nice and the other guys were fun too.

    Even in Bumfuck, TN landing a gig consists of "do I know you? No. Let me call my kid at the high school {ring ring} yeah, have you heard of these guys? No? Okay. {hangs up} Get the fuck out."

    @Phydeaux: haha yeah they didn't even double check. They needed a band, the show was in 2 hours, and we had enough time to get there, set up, play the show and get the hell out of the way. It was very random. The guy who booked the show turned out to be the lead singer of Himsa. we kept in touch so I'll definitely be playing up there again.

    "RE: Your Brains" is going to have the most epic crowd-singalong EVER.

    Also, I would recommend people check out "Opening Band". Lyrically it's a lot of fun.

    Great week in terms of variety and fun. Hopefully it doesn't take another year for a third Coulton song (where's "Code Monkey" and his "Baby Got Back" cover?)

    @awkner: Around the time that Rock Band 2 came out, the band posted on their blog that "All of This" (and one other song I can't recall) were going to be in Rock Band.

    Of course, that was a year ago...and the blog post was actually edited to remove that reference after a few hours.

    But take it as you will.

    @TRT-X: Yeah, there's another song from them in RB2, called Like a Fool. And it's very, very cool, just like All of This (which still hasn't been re-released).

    But their music is just so... comfy :3

    haven't picked up Rock Band Unplugged yet.....$1.99 for each song is crazy-stupid for a slimmed down portable emulation of the killer experience Rock Band is supposed to be.


    really wish they would have made a true successor to the Frequency/Amplitude line of games. milk that RB stuff Harmonix!

    @wink311: I have never play RB or GH for that matter but comparing unplugged with the console version of RB is like comparing mario kart with Gran turismo(or forza for the fans)is not or ever be the same experience but the damn game is pretty damn fun so don't just dismiss it just because is "slimmed down portable emulation"


    If you really like(or love)Amplitude like i do then trust me you will love this game as well.

    @Curse_Lily: yeah, maybe i should have re-phrased? (coffee hasn't kicked in yet)

    i ADORE Rock Band :) ....but there is def something keeping me from the Unplugged version. $2 for a song is justified when I put it into a multiplayer/big-screen/loud environment. seems hefty for a PSP version though.

    i'm prob just bitter because the chances of ever again seeing some sweet button-rhythm-electronica are slim to none ;P
