More On: Rock Band
 Gotta hand it to Harmonix, as they will be adding one of my favorite songs to Rock Band next week with the addition of White Zombie's "More Human Than Human" off Astro Creep 2000. In addition, the White Zombie tune "Black Sunshine" and the Turbonegro's track "Wasted Again" will be joining it. These are debut tracks for both bands on Rock Band. Each will cost $1.99 (160 MS points) and will be available on XBLM on Tuesday, Feb 17th and PSN on Thursday Feb 19th.
