Rock Band DLC: Don't Blink Or You'll Miss It

Oct. 28 6:20 PM by Terry Terrones

So a Blink 182 song is available for download on Rock Band today. Get the title of the post?!? Don't Blink...or you'll miss it? Hahaha....yeah that was pathetic, I know. And it isn't even true. You can probably download it for the next few years. I apologize. I haven't been getting enough rest lately. Between Fable 2, Fallout 3 and Dead Space I average about 2 hours of sleep a night. And just like an episode of Star Trek the Next Generation I saw once ("Schisms", Season 6, Episode 5), not getting enough REM sleep causes hallucinations, a lack of a sense of humor, and a strange attraction to unattractive women (its the only explanation I could come up with for my crush on Sarah Jessica Parker).

Heck, the Blink 182 song isn't even the best stuff you can get for Rock Band today. Songs from the Psychedelic Furs, Silversun Pickups and Siouxsie & the Banshees are also available right now (or Thursday if you're a PS3 owner).

Check out all the details after the jump.
