Why did we not start the recurring feature with this song? Because we’re gluttons for punishment, I guess. Seriously, we don’t have a good excuse, but we’re going to attempt to make up for it by submitting a MUSE song as the next song that we think would be an incredible addition to the Rock Band library.

Why Muse? It probably has do something with the 13,000+ requests in this thread alone over at RockBand.com. Or that the custom of this song (that doesn’t even exist in Rock Band) has nearly 7,000 views.

What do you think? Would you guys play something like this?

So with next week’s DLC coming after Labor Day here in the US, the unofficial end of summer is here. But the end of one thing always precedes the beginning of another, and in this instance, it’s been several weeks since we didn’t have some sort of advanced warning on what the DLC announcement was going to be, so I guess that’s a little bit of a trade off… right? Right?! OK, maybe not, but let’s just see what’s coming next week anyway.
