I know I’ve been a little heavy with the embedded videos, but posting this one was just mandatory, given my love for both Rush and Rockband.  It was posted on multiple blogs I read, but I saw it on The Ferrett’s first.

My daughter and I like to play Rockband from time to time. She’s easily better than I am at the vocals, and growing ever more confident about singing new songs. Today she let me shoot some video of her singing and dancing to some of her favorites:

After a surprisingly exhausting week, I came home from work, hit the recliner to relax with some video gaming, and promptly fell asleep, controller in hand. Fortunately, I woke up in plenty of time to check my Twitter feed and find that Chad had left a couple of tweets bemoaning the lack of rock […]

Something as awesome as the Rockers of the Ready Room cried out to be posted:

I had a relaxing weekend at home with my daughter, which included quite a bit of Rockband play yesterday. We had been inspired on Saturday when we popped in the Dirty Jobs: Jobs That Bite DVD I got last year as part of my Shark Week DVD set. I was telling her that […]

It was almost two weeks ago that I first reported the breakup of the McLovin Spöönful. Having apparently gotten as many fans as they were likely to, and realizing they weren’t going to be playing the biggest venues without them, the band broke up, leaving 260,000 people worldwide wondering what they would do for […]

Tonight I got together with Dustin and Jessika over Xbox Live for a little Rockband action, and we played the best we ever have. With Jess on vocals, Dustin on bass, and me on lead guitar, we rocked for several hours. We started out just playing songs we knew or have done well […]
