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.
