Rock Band DLC: AFI and The Bangles (Update) photo

If you thought that The Beatles: Rock Band downloadable content that was announced earlier today was the only time I'd be writing about Rock Band DLC today, you're wrong. Thank god, because seriously, I could write about this stuff all day. 

I joke, of course, because how many ways can you possibly say "These songs are coming to Rock Band next week?" Not many, but I've been doing it for like two years or something. So here's what I'll say about next week's DLC -- I kind of had a crush on Susanna Hoffs from The Bangles when I was a kid. I mean, she's totally awesome, right? Even with the big hair in the 80s, totally awesome. 

The Bangles - "Walk Like an Egyptian"+ ($1.99/160 MS Points/200 Wii Points)

AFI Pack 01 ($8.49/680 MS Points for the pack, $1.99/160 MS Points/200 Wii Points per track)
"Beautiful Thieves"
"End Transmission"
"Love Like Winter"
"Medicate"
"The Leaving Song Pt. II"

+ Indicates the song will be playable/downloadable in LEGO Rock Band.

Fact: I have never had a crush on Davey Havok from AFI.

[Update: Here's another one for next week for the Xbox 360. Them Crooked Vultures -- a "supergroup" consisting of Davel Grohl, Josh Homme, and John Paul Jones -- will debut its song "New Fang" in Rock Band next week. It'll cost you 160 MS Points. 

The track is off their upcoming self-titled album, which is streaming live on the band's Web site, and basically rocks out a lot.

Wii owners get the song on November 24 (200 Wii Points), PS3 on December 3 ($1.99).]

I'm not a big AFI fan, but Medicate was great on Guitar Hero 5. I'll probably buy that.

I don't know the rest of the songs...

Not a huge AFI fan, but I am pretty much obsessed with Love Like Winter. My favorite AFI song, by far!
This is most excellent.

I'll definitely be getting AFI's "The Leaving Song Part 2" It was the first song that introduced me to AFI, but then I was highly disappointed when I heard their next album.

"I kind of had a crush on Susanna Hoffs from The Bangles when I was a kid."

Please, who didn't :-D. I was fortunate enough to meet her at a concert about 10 years ago and got a hug because I was the first person to compliment her on her solo single instead of having her sign Bangles albums.

Also, "Walk Like an Egyptian" is crap. I would have preferred "Hazy Shade of Winter".

Being that I've been an AFI fanatic since like... The later 90s? (shit I'm feeling old) all I have to say is: Fuck yes

@JamnOnTheOne:

Agreed, the cover of "Hazy Shade of Winter" would have been a better choice, but you know... beggars can't be choosers, I suppose. Also, jealous re: the hug.

Did they just go through and choose the most mediocre songs possible from AFI's albums? Not that I even have rock band, but that's a pretty meh addition.

Still no Paper Airplanes(Makeshift Wings)? Leaving Song pt II isnt bad, but the rest is pretty meh.

Your update has made it a good week for me, though. Really looking forward to the album from Them Crooked Vultures, and the songs should prove interesting for all instruments.
