Guitar Hero 5 tracklist is.... kinda good?

You can read the whole thing here, which has a lot more stuff I'm interested in than the last game. Some highlights for me:

Johnny Cash - "Ring Of Fire"
Queen & David Bowie - "Under Pressure"
Stevie Wonder - "Superstition"
The Raconteurs - "Steady As She Goes"
Blur - "Song 2"
Bob Dylan - "All Along The Watchtower"
Billy Idol - "Dancing With Myself"
David Bowie - "Fame"
Deep Purple - "Woman From Tokyo ('99 Remix)"
Beastie Boys - "Gratitude"
John Fucking Mellencamp - "Hurts So Good"
Smashing Pumpkins - "Bullet With Butterfly Wings"
Sublime - "What I Got"
T. Rex - "20th Century Boy"
Thin Lizzy - "Jailbreak"
Weezer - "Why Bother?"

There's a bunch on there I probably don't recognize but might like (I looked some of these up on YouTube to double-check -- I forgot that Jailbreak was awesome).

Song stuck in my head right now

I want this more than I have wanted anything

The Complete Futurama, in Bender's head. It comes out at Comic Con for $200, but I'm going to use willpower and wait til it comes out for cheaper on Amazon in October.

Comic Book Day -- 2 Word Review edition

Yeah, to save some time and maybe force a little creativity out of me, I'm going to write-up these comics with a two-word limit. Let's try it out.



Batman and Robin #2 -- Continued brilliance

Captain America: Reborn #1 -- Lost deja-vu

War of Kings #5 -- Nerd soap

The Boys #32 -- Redeeming itself

FC Aftermath: Run! #3 -- Surprisingly good

Greek Street #1 -- Auspicious opening

Hm. I didn't think about these as hard as I wanted to, but that was still fun.
