Gohan wa Okazu Single

Ho-kago Team Time – Gohan wa Okazu
Here’s a song I’ve had collecting digital dust on my drive at about 80% completion for years, finally finished up for all of you. The music of K-On was practically made for Rock Band, with every instrument always having a fun role to play. It’s no surprise there’s already a number of customs available for the series’ fictional band, Ho-kago Team Time. Today that number grows by one.
Now if anyone had seen the 2011 K-On movie, a major moment in the story was a performance of this very song in London’s Jubilee Gardens right on the bank of the Thames. I find it a perfect way to bring us to our next upcoming release…

The next author up at December 8th, 10PM EST-04:00 CET is TheSheepQueen. In the next pack, the Sheep betrays her hexagonal land to deliver under the Union Jack. Expect eight-legged terror, purple in the morning, Sironimo, yet another 90s song about being young, and all of that should come… Right about….

For Britain Only Pack
by TheSheepQueenFatboy Slim – The Rockafeller Skank
Roger Glover And Guests – Love Is All
Supergrass – Alright
Clint Mansell – Lux Aeterna
The Who – Boris The Spider
After going punk, after going poppy, after going robotic, after going brvtal, we’re going rosbeef with 5 bangers from quite famous artists! Starting off with Norman Cook, a.k.a. Fatboy Slim’s biggest bang, The Rockafeller Skank, instantly recognisable because of its only lyric. Next is Roger Glover and Ronnie James Dio’s gigantic hit Love Is All, which is sure going to be your worst nightmare on vocals! Of course, who could say UK without Britpop? And I deliver here with Supergrass’ Alright, complete with that hyperactive piano and filled with british youth! But wait, did you see that? Let’s take a closer look! Next up we’ve got Lux Aeterna, the theme song to the 2000 box office hit Requiem For A Dream. Perfect for your drug actions or plans to expose the CIA about these little green guys. Atupomaruru released a guitar cover too that you should definitely check out! To conclude this quite good pack, here’s The Who’s Boris The Spider, often recognisable as being the first song to feature the growling that would because more popular with the birth of Death Metal!

Arctic Monkeys 4-pack
by Kloporte
Arctic Monkeys – When the Sun Goes Down
Orginally known as “Scummy”, When the Sun Goes Down is a song about prostitution. The song starts slowly with just Alex Turner’s vocals and guitar, but soon becomes a fast-paced rock song after the line “I said he’s a scumbag don’t you know.”
The song is really fun on all instruments, and as usual with AM the lyrics are quite fast-paced.
Arctic Monkeys – D is for Dangerous
Favourite Worst Nightmare is my favorite AM album, which is why I picked three songs from this one. D is for Dangerous is sung by Matt Helders (drums) and Alex Turner (guitar) and I really wanted to reflect it on the venue.
This is a great song for duet vocals, and the song is really catchy!
Arctic Monkeys – This House Is a Circus
I’ve had that song stuck in my head for days when I started charting this one. The drum part is really interesting and the song gets very intense near the end.
Arctic Monkeys – The Bad Thing
Originally, “What if You Were Right the First Time?” was insisted by Jamie to be in its place on Favourite Worst Nightmare, but Alex insisted for “The Bad Thing” to make the final cut, in exchange for never performing it live. That would explain why this song stands out a bit in this album, as it is (arguably) more upbeat and poppy.

The next author up at December 8th, 10PM EST-04:00 CET is AJFOne23, who will be releasing a pack from an album celebrating its 50th anniversary today.
I’ve gotta say, Klo, this is one of my favorite releases thus far. I never got into the Arctic Monkeys until their AM album, which I really, really enjoy, but it is arguably a much more poppy sound compared to their other releases. These four tracks are sooo different and seem to reflect that contrast, in a good way. I look forward to jamming out to them, but I will admit I wish there had been some inclusions from the much more down-beat AM…
” src=”/wp-content/uploads/invision_emoticons/default_SA_wink.gif” />AJ… a quick Googling tells me it’s either the Stones or Traffic, and I’ll unashamedly tell you I’m rooting for Traffic. I’ve wanted Dear Mr. Fantasy as a track for a loooong time, and clues in the database tell me I might be right…
” src=”/wp-content/uploads/invision_emoticons/default_SA_smile.gif” /> Fingers crossed!Thanks to everybody involved in this month-long event!

And may the ‘Force Be With You’ for your wish, Atruejedi!……..I’d be down for some Traffic as well!
” src=”/wp-content/uploads/invision_emoticons/default_SA_biggrin.gif” />Seeing the total amount raised for C3Thon almost at the halfway point of the projected goal with just under the total amount of songs released close to halfway also, bodes well in seeing this Make A Wish drive really happen for a few kids.
I can’t say enough how much the wife and I are pleased to be a small part of such a great community! Our gratitude goes to EVERYONE, authors and users alike for the time, the effort, the generosity and mostly for the love of a game that binds us all together to make a little bit of difference in our world today!
Could we hit that 2.5k mark by Sunday eve.?…I’m wishin’ on a STAR….that 5 colored, button pushing, guitar toting, drum pounding, keyboard tickling, lead singing,…. plastic ROCKSTAR in each and every one of us!
We can make wishes really happen for a few more kids. Thanks to all who’ve donated so far!

But stay tuned, race fans! The wife and I are tossing around an idea that might help to build an even faster race car!

The Rolling Stones – Their Satanic Majesties Request 50th Anniversary pack
by AJFOne23
The Rolling Stones – 2000 Man
GUITAR/BASS/KEYS: Kemiroch
VOCALS: EchoOfMystery
REDUCTIONS: wingsoveramerica
The Rolling Stones would be the first to admit that their 1967 psychedelic LP, Their Satanic Majesties Request, didn’t quite go as well as planned. They simply weren’t playing to their strengths, and the experiment felt a little forced. That said, the album does have some amazing gems, like the sort of a futuristic folk song, “2000 Man” is one of the most under-recognized and underappreciated songs in the Rolling Stones catalog. Opening with a gorgeous, delicate acoustic fingerpicking pattern , the lyrics speak of a future society where man’s individual identity is all but lost. There is a science fiction slant to the words, which indeed are some of Mick Jagger’s finest. The song moves into a middle section where the band had a chance to flex their rock muscle, one of the hardest rocking passages written and played on the Their Satanic Majesties Requests album. The rhythm change is quite nice, Watts drumming is very strong, the acoustics guitars are more effective than usual, and the contrast between Jagger’s weak voice on the verses and his gutsier style on the chorus is quite effective.
The Rolling Stones – In Another Land
GUITAR/BASS/KEYS: Kemiroch
VOCALS: EchoOfMystery
REDUCTIONS: wingsoveramerica
The lone Rolling Stones Bill Wyman-written and -sung effort, “In Another Land” captured the psychedelic atmosphere of the day to a T, and it actually borders on being a parody. A whimsical, trippy ode, these days it sounds like a psychedelic Spinal Tap song, with words describing blue trees and flowers. The tremolo-soaked vocals only add to the period charm here. Interestingly, the bridge section is one of the hardest-rocking efforts by the Rolling Stones from this period. Rumored to have Steve Marriott and Ronnie Lane on harmony vocals, this song was also issued as a single.
The Rolling Stones – She’s A Rainbow
GUITAR/KEYS: Kemiroch
BASS/VOCALS: EchoOfMystery
REDUCTIONS: wingsoveramerica
Arguably the prettiest track ever by a crew not known for “pretty” – a pastoral piano melody wrapped in chamber-music strings arranged by a pre-Led Zeppelin John Paul Jones, with child-like la-la-la’s swooping through like gnomes in a playground. It’s a beautifully constructed piece of psychedelic pop. But the dissonant breakdown and the faintly lewd vision of a girl who “comes in colors everywhere” (a line possibly bitten off Love’s “She Comes in Colors”) reminds you who is behind it.
The Rolling Stones – 2000 Light Years from Home
GUITAR/BASS/KEYS: Kemiroch
VOCALS: EchoOfMystery
REDUCTIONS: wingsoveramerica
The penultimate song “2000 Light Years From Home.” Jagger supposedly wrote the lyrics in prison following his drug bust. “It’s so very lonely,” he sings. “You’re 2,000 light years from home.” This song is a psychedelic nightmare, capturing the desolation of feeling lost in the cosmos, as Jones’ Mellotron casts an ominous spell.
Do you like this release? Awesome! If you would have downloaded this release even if it was paid DLC, please donate 90 cents per song to the Make-A-Wish foundation, well be forever grateful!

but getting “She’s A Rainbow” is quite enough to say to AJFOne and his band of pirates……
Scored another big ‘un!

I’m not a huge Stones fan either funk man which is why this is the most atypical Stones pack. These songs and the album they come from are unlike anything else in their catalog. Rainbow is a masterpiece. Glad I could Start you up

Porter Robinson – Sad Machine
Assembled with video game samples, a Vocaloid synthesizer, and the first of his own songs to include his own vocals, Porter Robinson would place this hit in the top 30 of Billboard’s US Dance/Electronic Songs.

He was all like, “A song that wont stop your dancing, a song about flowers on a rainy day, and remix of a song that will send you dancing to a place where tomorrow never comes, even if it wasnt the original song to dance to. Oh, and another song that… Well, what if I told you that it just was for fun?”
