Rock Band Does The Beatlezzzz
So Ringo's been busy signing contracts. This must have given him RSI, hence the no-autographs policy, the poor love. But enough. A Beatlezzzz Rock Band sounds shit, mainly because these games are all about the thrash/speed metal solos and you cannot shred axe to Eleanor Rigby.

Free Download! School Of Seven Bells - Conjurr
If this bloody lovely track from the brilliant School Of Seven Bells doesn't make its way onto a) an aspirational car advert which is all about greenness and efficiency or b) a funky mobile phone advert based around some ludicrous concept that involves bright colours and a city-wide stunt... well, it probably will, so no need for alternatives.
