Rock Band, the video game sensation that first gained cool points by adding Dinosaur Jr.’s “Feel The Pain” and The Replacements’ “Alex Chilton” to its catalog of downloadable content, is at it again. Next week, those who play Rock Band on either the XBOX 360 or Playstation 3, will be able to download three songs by Mission Of Burma, the legendary Boston post-punk outfit. The songs include “Mica” (from Vs.), “That’s How I Escaped My Certain Fate (from Vs.), and “That’s When I Reached For My Revolver” (from Signals, Calls, And Marches). No “Academy Fight Song?” Denied. Matador re-issued Burma’s early work in March of this year. Their most recent release was 2006’s The Obliterati. For the record, I love video games, but I’m just not coordinated enough to be a successful Rock Band player.
