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.
