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?

Give me Blur. Now. Plz.

Anyone think that Flagpole Sitta by Harvey Danger would make an AWESOME addition?

@tazar: Yes. Yes I do. See here for “evidence”, courtesy of Benjamin Cantler.

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...

Ugh, another week that I'll be downloading three songs. Rock Band only loves me for my MSPoints.

And while we are throwing songs out there, I would love Possum Kingdom by the Toadies. Great guitar, drum, bass and vocal parts.

Sex Type Thing will be awesome at parties.

I'm really dying for "Vault - Def Leppard's Greatest Hits" full album (should they decide to do it).

I'm not saying I don't like Stone Temple Pilots. I don't listen to them outside of Rock Band, though.

I want the Decemberists. And I think I'm the only one too. Oh well. At least I can sit in my corner with The New Pornographers and wish more indie rock and folk can show up.

God damn it, why did I get guitar hero? Why? El Scorcho is such a good song.

El Scorcho was one of my top wishes. Excellent. It's hard to think of other mainstream songs that I'd want in Rock Band.

Will buy them all. Only really want the STP song, but I'll get garbage because the game needs more songs with female vocals, and I can't resist and extra Weezer song to go with it on the cheap.

Nick, I'm disappointed in you for not choosing the "El Scorcho" video for the post.

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.

These are three of my favorite bands, but these are not exactly my favorite songs. I will probably still pick them up. Definitely El Scorcho, but maybe not Why Do You Love Me because that's like one of the worst songs by Garbage.

I'll pick them up because I'm addicted to Rock Band and I ask no questions about what they release, I just buy it.

I just got Rock Band, guys. I've had Guitar Hero since near it's release and thought it was a better game. Now I know what you people are talking about when you say it isn't.

God, even the solo guitar game is better than Guitar Hero III. New blog on my experience! I feel inspired.

This is going to be the first week that I buy all three songs available. The only time I even bought more than one song was when they had the All American Rejects songs for $1 a piece and I figured, why not. I'm glad they're digging themselves out of the 70's and 80's and moving on to the 90's.

Now, let's get on with releasing Nevermind (and Smashing Pumpkins' Siamese Dream please!)
