Who pixies songs?

Sorry about the terrible pun in the title of this post; I can practically hear the groans already.
This week in Rock Band, we see the largest selection of DLC released so far, with a whopping seventeen songs offered. The majority of these come from The Pixies' album Doolittle (the other song on the album is Wave of Mutilation, already in the game), but we also get a track pack from Weezer, with three songs from their new Red Album.
There was a little confusion over Doolittle, as some places had it listed as coming out last week, but now it's here for us all to enjoy. The album costs 1520 MS Points ($19), but the songs can also be bought individually for the usual price of 160 MS Points ($2) each.
The tracks offered this week are:

By The Pixies
Debaser
Tame
I Bleed
Here Comes your Man
Dead
Monkey Gone to Heaven
Mr. Grieves
Crackity Jones
La La Love You
No. 13 Baby
There Goes my Gun
Hey
Silver
Gouge Away

By Weezer
Dreamin'
The Greatest Man that Ever Lived
Troublemaker

So which songs did I purchase this week then? Well, I'm not really familiar with The Pixies, but I know people who are fans. Although Wave of Mutilation isn't one of my favorite songs in the game, I remembered that the band did the song from the end of Fight Club, so there might be some good tracks in store. I listened to them one by one, and came to the conclusion that I really don't like The Pixies. I figured I would buy at least a couple of tracks, as I haven't purchased any for the last few weeks, but I didn't like a single one of them. Not one. Is it just me, or do they have a really bad singer? I mean, some of the songs started okay, with a good tune, but as soon as that guy started singing I had to skip to the next one.
So what about the Weezer songs? They have some good tracks in the game already, but I guess their new stuff isn't quite as good. Not only that, but all three of the songs offered are really easy (two of them are in set one for drums, the other's in set three). I feel bad about not having bought anything recently, as I would like to review some new tracks, but I just haven't cared for any of the songs since The Cars' album a month ago. Oh well, I know somewhere there is someone who's loving every one of these releases, and I'm positive they'll get back to the stuff I like before too long.

So what else in going on in the world of Rock Band this week? Well, we saw the release of the game for Wii. Unfortunately, it's going for the same price ($170) as the 360 version, despite the fact that it lacks custom characters, band world tour mode, online play, and downloadable content. The DLC is really what makes this game so special, so I can't call this offer a good deal. I suppose you could always but the Rock Band Track Pack if you want more songs, but it's not quite the same as being able to pick and choose.
One things the Wii version does have that the 360 doesn't is a wireless guitar. While this is cool, I don't think it makes up for everything that's missing. There's also a funny story on Destructoid, showing why wireless guitars aren't always preferable anyway.
Overall it seems to have basically the same functionality as the PS2 version, but that version was recently dropped to $100 (for a limited time), which makes it a much better deal if you have the choice. Of course, if there's any way you can buy one of the proper versions of the game, this is definitely the way you want to go.

One other piece of Rock Band news concerns a band who've been blatantly missing from any rhythm games or, for that matter, the iTunes music store. I'm talking, of course, about The Beatles. It looks as though the rights holders of The Beatles' library are finally beginning to talk to video game publishers about licensing out their music. Representatives held discussions with both MTV games and Activision (the publishers of Guitar Hero), which could reach a final deal "in a matter of weeks". I imagine that Activision may be interested in doing a Beatles themed Guitar Hero, much like their Aerosmith and recently announced Metallica versions; where as MTV and Harmonix may go the DLC route.
