Band Hero's track list continues to confuse the hell out of me, as newly revealed songs from Hilary Duff and Jesse McCartney mingle with newly revealed songs from David Bowie and Counting Crows.
This is so amazingly not fair. David Bowie's "Let's Dance", Counting Crows' "Angels of the Silences", and Mighty Mighty Bosstones' "Impression That I Get", some of my favorite songs of all time, are being included in a game that also houses Hilary Duff's "So Yesterday". How can I buy it? How can I not buy it? Band Hero's song list continues to grow, and I continue to experience equal parts revulsion and fascination.
In the end I will have to buy it, if only for the Counting Crows track, and the potential for more from the band as downloadable content. They are one of those groups that seems to have followed me throughout my adult life, releasing music that seems geared specifically at making me all moody. Perhaps Hilary Duff is like that for you. Perhaps there is something terribly wrong with you.
