Rock Band. Best Video Game Ever.
I am beyond addicted to the video game Rock Band. Lefsetz seems to dig it too. So many good songs, such a good outlet for my never-ending tapping of rhythms on any surface I can find. I love to play the drums but don’t get a chance too often, so this game has been a source of salvation for months now.
My favorite songs to play are both Police songs – “Can’t Stand Losing You” and “Roxanne”. Triplet kicks get me every time, I’m a John Bonham/Chuck Biscuits guy til the end. Copeland is also one of my favorite drummers, and playing the songs on the Expert level is remotely close to playing in real life, so these songs are a dream come true for someone who has been playing air drums to the Police for years.
I’ve almost got both of these songs 100% nailed, down to one or two notes on each I can’t quite get. Stupid (and awesome) Copeland hi-hat flourishes!! So here’s where I am at – 

And that name is DoucheĆ© – it’s French or something.
