Sex, Drugs, Rockband

It is about fucking time… destructoid.com - Say it with me: “It’s about God damned time.” Revealed as downloadable content last freakin’ year, the classic Jane’s Addiction album Nothing’s Shocking is coming to Rock Band as downloadable content next week. The best news? It’s coming to all three platforms, the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and Wii.

The full album will cost $15.99 (1280 MS Points for the 360); Wii owners will have to purchase individual tracks at 200 Wii Points a piece. Xbox 360 and PS3 folks can pick and choose songs at 160 MS Points or $1.99 respectively. Tracks hit Xbox LIVE Marketplace and Wii Rock Band Music Store on Tuesday, and PlayStation Store on Thursday.

As someone who grew up listening to this album on a cassette until my Walkman ate it up, I’m going to go ahead and buy this whole thing. Others may only recognize a few of the tracks, particularly “Jane Says,” an alternate version of which was made popular in the 90s.

The following tracks — along with “Mountain Song,” which already appears on the Rock Band 2 disc — will complete the album:

“Up the Beach”
“Ocean Size.”
“Had a Dad”
“Ted, Just Admit It…”
“Standing in the Shower… Thinking”
“Summertime Rolls”
“Idiots Rule”
“Jane Says”
“Thank You Boys”
“Pig’s in Zen”

obsessable.com - The Rock Band Kick Pedal from PDP is the officially licensed expansion kick pedal for all versions of Harmonix and MTV Games’ Rock Band.

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Porn star Marilyn Chambers, who made waves in the 1970s by having screen sex with an African-American, has been found dead at her Los Angeles home at the age of 56, coroner’s officials said on Monday.

The Los Angeles coroner’s office said an autopsy would be carried out to determine the cause of her death late on Sunday night.

Chambers, whose real name was Marilyn Taylor, broke into the adult film industry by appearing in the 1972 film “Behind the Green Door,” which was among the first pornographic films released widely in the United States to attract mainstream attention.

The adult film caused a stir in part because Chambers was seen having sex with African-American porn star Johnny Keyes.

Chambers made more than 25 porn movies, trading on her earlier role as the blonde cover girl on the Ivory Snow soap box, where she posed holding a baby under the tag line “99 & 44/100% pure”.

She also made several films with late porn star John Holmes, who died of AIDS complications in 1988, and she had flings with careers in music and politics. Chambers ran for U.S. vice president in 2004 on the Personal Choice Party ticket and released the disco single “Benihana” in 1976.

Chambers had a bit part in the 1970 Barbra Streisand film “The Owl and the Pussycat,” and starred in the 1977 David Cronenberg horror movie “Rabid.” But after establishing herself as a pornographic film star, she was never able to break into mainstream films.
