Last week, we started a recurring post where we randomly giveaway one Xbox 360 DLC code for a Rock Band pack (as well as one 160 MSP code as a consolation prize). As we stated last week, we’ll try to giveaway a different DLC pack each Friday until our stash runs out. We started with Billy Joel, and this week we move on to giving out a code for the Celebrating Nirvana pack, originally released last September. The songs included are…

• Nirvana – Heart-Shaped Box
• Nirvana – Rape Me
• Nirvana – All Apologies
• Nirvana – You Know You’re Right

If this is something that you want to try and win, entry is going to be a bit harder than last week. To enter, post a comment below of a “random fact” about Nirvana, its members, or anyone associated with the band. Standard rules apply: one entry per household only, Xbox 360 only, codes are redeemable worldwide (as far as I know). Please include a valid email address in the appropriate field (or Twitter account if you don’t want to take off your tin foil hat) with each entry so we can contact the winners.

We’ll let this run through the weekend so everyone has a chance to enter and randomly choose a winner sometime on Monday afternoon (Central time). And since we ALSO have a number of 160 MSP codes, we’ll randomly give out a “consolation gift” to one random entrant, as well!

Good luck! And thanks to Harmonix for providing us with codes to giveaway!

Due to the volume of Pro-Guitar/Bass charts this week (ELEVEN new ones), we’ve hidden for after the jump so they don’t clutter up the front page.

A while back, we had heard of a rumor about this week possibly seeing the announcement of tracks being released from the long-anticipated live Pearl Jam project, due to next week’s release of Pearl Jam’s 20th anniversary documentary film and soundtrack.

Let’s find out if we got our hopes up or not…
