The announcement of Rock Band downloadable content for the week of Feburary 19 comes to us a bit early. Perhaps it's because Harmonix and MTV games don't want them to get lost in the shuffle of Game Developers Conference. Or perhaps it's because of the recent Internet Matlock incident which revealed a slew of unannounced downloadable content, some of which we'll be seeing this week.
In any event, here we are with no huge surprises (thanks for the spoilers, Internet Matlocks): Stone Temple Pilots' "Sex Type Thing," Weezer's "El Scorcho," and Garbage's "Why Do You Love Me" will all be available this week. Each track is a master track, and will cost $1.99 (160 MS Points).
For me, this is another week where I'll be reaching into my wallet to hand over more cash to these jerks at MTV and Harmonix. Clearly a group of people who don't want me to pay my bills on time. I'm not convinced "El Scorcho" is the best song for Rock Band (most of the parts are pretty straight forward, possibly even boring), but I dig the song. And while I'm not a huge Stone Temple Pilots fan, "Sex Type Thing" is an aggressive song with some decent parts, and should be fun to play.
So you guys have a few days to think about it, but gut reactions -- what will you guys be picking up (if anything) this week?

Anyone think that Flagpole Sitta by Harvey Danger would make an AWESOME addition?
I’ll definitely be downloading “El Scorcho” — the guitar riff in the beginning is pretty fun, and the song gets good once it speeds up towards the end. Plus, it’s gonna be a hell of a lot of fun to sing...
BURN HIM!
I won't mind that song for rock band, seems an interesting song to play
I was thinking why not some Blind Melon too seems fun to play also
And while we are throwing songs out there, I would love Possum Kingdom by the Toadies. Great guitar, drum, bass and vocal parts.
I was thinking the exact same thing all day at work.
I'm really dying for "Vault - Def Leppard's Greatest Hits" full album (should they decide to do it).
Thanks, Harmonix, for keeping up with the weekly DLC!
i am going to be buying all 3
Seriously, though, I want to buy "El Scorcho" even though I don't have Rock Band. Or a 360. I'm a =w=hore. Take my money, plz.
God, even the solo guitar game is better than Guitar Hero III. New blog on my experience! I feel inspired.
Now, let's get on with releasing Nevermind (and Smashing Pumpkins' Siamese Dream please!)
Now I want a pony!
NEVERMIND NOW PLZKTHNX
