On the official Rock Band forums, HMXaleX just posted a list of next week's Rock Band downloadable content, all of which comes straight from the 1980s. Oh yes, the 80s. Two tracks from Devo and Duran Duran will be lovingly placed on the XBLM for purchase on Tuesday, August 19th with both Devo tracks being new recordings done special for Rock Band (must've lost the masters, doh!) But that isn't quite it, there will also be an American Mall soundtrack song by The Janitors value priced for 80 MS points as well. DLC list below:
- "Girl U Want" by Devo - 160
- "Through Being Cool" by Devo - 160
- "Girls on Film" by Duran Duran - 160
- "Rio" by Duran Duran - 160
- "Get Your Rock On" by The Janitors - 80

Nice!
I was just listening to DFA1979 and this game desperately needs a song or two of theirs. Romantic Rights would be awesome.

Ugh... I don't know why I get my hopes up every week, thinking that, even though I have been disappointed for the past few months with nothing REALLY good, Harmonix will give me something good THIS week.
I set myself up every time... But maybe NEXT week will there will be something I'll be willing to pay for and download.

Hey, they need to throw us old guys a bone once in a while, ya know.
Ahhh the 80s, what a great decade to grow up in! See how much fun they're having in the video? Artists take themselves way too serious now.

coulda gotten better Devo... It's the same with NIN they always choose subpar tracks. But those Duran Duran tracks are spot on

They will always save the non subpar tracks for the yearly game releases. Why waste all of their good tracks for DLC when they can use those tracks to help sell the new games.

Hey, a quick question to everyone.
Rock Band DLC music: does it permanently stay up and available to purchase in the Marketplace? I ask because I own Rock Band but I've never once bought a song. Is it too late for me to download stuff retroactively if I wanted to?

As far as I know, all of the songs are posted there and none have ever been removed. I suppose there's always a chance though.
Regarding this week's DLC, I am very happy with the selection! I might have picked some different ones, like "Whip It!" by Devo, and "Save A Prayer" by Duran Duran, but the tracks they picked are all good ones too!

Why no new duran duran stuff? Red Carpet Massacre was good, had lots of guitar and drums in it.
Still, Girls on Film! PLEASE include the vid ;)
