A SUGGESTION.
I assume we ought to be seeing some sort of genre-focused Rock Band off-shoot at some point, in the spirit of Guitar Hero: Rock the 80's and the upcoming Aerosmith version of GH. I would like to suggest an indie rock set. Imagine rocking through these with two or three of your hipster friends:
Minneapolis:
- The Hold Steady, "Stuck Between Stations"
- Motion City Soundtrack, "The Future Freaks Me Out"
- Liz Phair, "Supernova"
- The White Stripes, "Fell in Love With a Girl"
- The Violent Femmes, "Blister in the Sun"
Montreal:
- Broken Social Scene, "7/4 (Shoreline)"
- Death From Above 1979, "Romantic Rights"
- Hot Hot Heat, "Bandages"
- The Arcade Fire, "Keep the Car Running"
- Tokyo Police Club, "Your English Is Good"
Washington, DC:
- The Dismemberment Plan, "The Ice of Boston"
- Ted Leo/Pharmacists, "Tell Balgeary, Balgury Is Dead"
- Clap Your Hands Say Yeah, "The Skin of My Yellow Country Teeth"
- Interpol, "Evil"
- We Are Scientists, "Nobody Move Nobody Get Hurt"
Austin:
- Spoon, "Sister Jack"
- Cake, "Short Skirt/Long Jacket"
- Death Cab For Cutie, "The New Year"
- The Get Up Kids, "Action and Action"
- Rilo Kiley, "Portions For Foxes"
It would be the awesomest thing ever, I suspect.
