Rock Band Rocks Burma
by, rigs
Although this is entirely against Hipster Mantra, you will now be able to reach for your revolver (or plastic button guitar) and rock with Roger, Clint, and Peter in Rock Band 2.
From their MySpace: Now you can jam along with Mission of Burma in your very own home. Rock Band 2 for Xbox and Playstation 3 have released a three-pack of Burma songs including “Mica,” “That’s When I Reach For My Revolver” and “That’s How I Escaped My Certain Fate.” Buy each song separately for 160 Microsoft Points ($2.00) or buy all three for 440 MS ($5.50)! Songs are available for purchase on Xbox Live or PlayStation Network, respectively.
Well, at least Moby never covered Burma or something like that… then change the lyrics for MTV… oh wait… Read more of: Rock Band Rocks Burma

Ben Folds Five Reunite & Chris Walla Interview via MySpace’s “Front to Back”
On MySpace’s “Front to Back” Ben Fold Five reunites to perform The Unauthorized Biography of Reinhold Messner. Plus, Death Cab For Cutie’s Chris Walla sits down for a chat. It will be interesting to see what sort of line ups the super-power MySpace chooses to showcase on this new “Front to Back” series. It could be an opportunity to give some new artists some much needed exposure or they could stick to the… well… Ben Folds and Death Cab’s of the music realm.
See the vid after the jump.

Vote: No Age!!!
November 4th is so far away… and if you, like myself, need to get your voting jollies off sooner, try to think of someone less attractive, or a sports game, or unattractive people playing sports. And if that doesn’t work, vote for music videos! A tip of the hat and a respectful nod is due when things are done well. No Age deserves such gesture-cred with their video for “Eraser.” From Sub Pop:”Dean and Randy from No Age have been nominated in the “Left Field” category of the mtvU Woodie Awards for their awesome video for ‘Eraser’.” “Awesome” is spot on, anyone who gets doused with flour and rocks the guitar gets dubbed “awesome.” Your voice can be heard, Power to the People!!! Vote now.

"Awesome! The best part about Rock Band is that so many kids are being exposed to music that they may never hear. Hooray for plastic musical instrument facsimiles!!"
