Oh yeah, I write a video game review column occasionally over at www.quickstopent.com/gameon as well at http://www.comicmix.com/contributor/ian-bonds/
I also write and record comedy music...I have an album coming out and everything. Call it "nerdcore" or "dementia" or whatever. It's good stuff, if you like geeky little songs about videogames and sci-fi. You can find that stuff at www.myspace.com/n3rds0ngs or at my website http://www.InsaneIan.com
That's the Presidents of the United States of America...THE BAND! That's right, one of the coolest , rokin-est bands alive, PUSA (no, not POTUSA) will have a 3 song track pack for DLC on Xbox live on Nov. 4th, election day. Included in the track pack are the new single, "Ladybug" from their new album "These Are The Good Times People", as well as two tracks from their eponymous debut album, "Dune Buggy" and "Feather Pluckn". This information was announced by band frontman and "basitartist" Chris Ballew on the band's website, www.presidentsrock.com
Now, I'm all for PUSa music in Rock Band, but personally...where's Peaches? And hell, where's the love for their second album, "II"? Give me Tiki God ANY day...
Still, can't fault them for these songs...the latter two tear up the pogo-ing fools at their live shows, and "Ladybug" just had it's music video released EXCLUSIVELY on Xbox Live Marketplace TODAY so, the timing couldn't be sweeter.
Plus...The Presidents on election day? Sure, they released their second album on the same day in '96, but that, for me, never gets old with these guys.
Here's the video for their first single from the new album, directed by none other than Weird Al Yankovic!
Where's HIS DLC for Rock Band!?! I know *I* always sing "The Rye or The Kaiser" instead of "The Eye of the Tiger", don't you?

But yeah, I always liked Peaches also :)
My buddy would shit his pants if Weird Al DLC ever came out. Maybe there's hope for the next April Fool's Day or something?
Maybe we'll get a second DLC pack of PUSA...Tiki God, Peaches and Kitty. That'd be killer.
pusa is awesome.
