This week's DLC update brings us a curious mix of Rush and the Red Hot Chili Peppers. Rather than the usual trio of songs that we're used to seeing, we get two songs from each band. But that's not the only strange thing about this week's content. Hit the jump to see what I mean.

Rock Band Weekly DLC – Double shot of Chili Peppers and Rush
80 tracks to be included with Rock Band 2, no user-created content
With any new game that's announced, there are always a ton of questions left unanswered. Over time details slowly trickle down the line, and Rock Band 2 is no different. One question we now no the answer to is regarding the number of songs included on the disc. The magic number, it has been revealed, is 80, which is 22 more than the original game contained.

G4 leaks potential Rock Band 2 tracks

Rock Band 2 coming in September, for the 360 at least
If you guys are anything like me, you're pretty damn excited about Rock Band 2. Details on the game are still fairly scarce (and will likely remain so until E3), however, we do have an idea of when we'll see the game on store shelves. Let's just say that Xbox 360 owners will be a little happier than everyone else.

Rock Band 2 is official!
Man, every now and then I get blindsided by an announcement that I just wasn't expecting. Sure, we all knew that Harmonix was working on Rock Band 2, but I really didn't expect to hear anything official until E3 at the earliest. Well the cat's out of the bag, so read on for some highlights of what to expect about this awesome sequel.

SlashGear Review – Rock Band Wii
So I’ve had Rock Band Wii for a day or so now, and I thought I should be nice and share my thoughts with all of you, just in case you had any doubts or worries before it hits shelves next week. Hit the jump for my full review.
More Offspring coming soon to Rock Band
I was born in the 80's, which means I did most of my growing up in the 90's listening to alternative music. I've really been happy that Rock Band has been bringing back some of the songs I know and love so that a new generation can really enjoy them. I listened to a good bit of Offspring back in the day, which is why I'm happy to hear that they're going to be adding more tracks to the game in the future.

First look at Rock Band Wii
Every now and then I open the door to find the FedEx guy holding some very nondescript brown boxes. These are my favorite days, as it generally means something new to review has arrived. The latest boxes weren’t quite so nondescript, as they had the words Rock Band, and Wii.
Rock Band Weekly DLC – Avenged Sevenfold, Offspring and Crooked X
I'm starting to like this trend of seeing new music released on Rock Band at the same time it is released to the general public for purchase. The latest track to follow this trend comes to us from The Offspring. Check out the list of tracks available today after the jump.
- Avenged Sevenfold “Afterlife”
- Avenged Sevenfold“Critical Acclaim”
- The Offspring “Hammerhead”
- Crooked X “Rock ‘n’ Roll Dream”
Rumor – New Rock Band DLC leaked
I hate watching commercials. I don't watch much TV, and would like to get the most out of the times I do sit in front of the boob tube. This would be why most of what I watch is already pre-recorded, thanks to a DVR. However, commercials do serve a purpose. Not only do they inform potential customers of products and services for sale, they also leak the occasional bit of unannounced news.
