Ziggy Stardust songs have been in so many pieces of media (and for good reason considering it's almost perfect), do you have any favorite drop or use in a show/movie/etc? Mine might be "Five Years" in the movie "Before I Disappear," as it soundtracks a dream sequence. For a recommendation; Yves Tumor's "Gospel for a New Century" - it's been my most played song this year, definitely for fans of more experimental/psych pop music.

Welcome John! What makes a song a good candidate to be in a Rock Band or Dance Central game? Song: Brainpower by Freezepop

Who's idea was it to try and bring The Beatles into the Rock Band franchise, and how hard was it to grab the rights to make one of the best games in history? All the hard work that went into making that game definitely paid off. Song: Tijuana Sweetheart- Seven (I believe this was a Harmonix band that had this track in the base game of RB1) https://open.spotify.com/track/6wszsMV5RWqiKMEE2rjgw6

Hey, Ziggy is the best album ever made. "You're not alone" has got me through some incredibly rough times. Are live acted music movies still cool? Or able to get made? Benedict Cumberbatch Ziggy Stardust movie in the vein of Tommy or The Wall would be the greatest thing to ever happen, right? https://open.spotify.com/track/7GvTJcSKtq7Hvvj34x4Tci?si=kO7qQNhnSXKuoCT0YWZ8-Q

Change is one of my all-time favorite albums; I actually listened to it this past weekend on my drive back from chilly, quiet hike. This album nails that bittersweet, introspective mood that seems to hit around this time of year. The gorgeous album cover, Travis Morrison's softer vocals, the never ending sustains, and the lyrical focus on 'not knowing' all hit me deep in my soul. Ellen & Ben hits especially hard now. If reminiscing on long lost friends and childhood didn't hurt enough, now we get to resurrect memories of phonebooks and disconnecting from the world for significant lengths of time. The narrative of this song is a product of its moment, in the best possible way. (The 2014 vinyl pressing by Partisan Records / Knitting Factory Records includes a lyric book glued to the gate-fold sleeve with full-size photographs very similar to the beautiful album cover. It's a great aid to help get lost in the album.) Q: It's finally getting cold! Other than holiday music, what musical vibes flesh out the late-fall season for you?

This question is for Matt, I have a 10yr old son who is all about internet memes and Minecraft animation videos. I've notice these animation videos have parody songs like the chainsmokers and other artist but some original songs as well. With technology and accessibility of learning how to produce your own music. Do you think our kids are going to grow up in a world of YouTube music artist (digital sound production) VS a more traditional approach of producing music using real instruments but I cannot blame these content producers they have huge mass following and hits on YouTube so someone is obviously listening to these videos/songs. I feel like a grumpy old man fighting against this new wave of music he even has a Playlist on Spotify with his favorite songs and I'm only 34 yrs old hahahaha

Question for Drake: When can we get more Muse in Rock Band? No but really, the time I had in the Harmonix forums back in the heyday of Rock Band was great. Interacting with employees like you, Eric Pope, Aaron Trite and other people within the community was very fun. Waiting to see what track packs were going to be released every week was the best thing to look forward to. Whose idea was it to start going beyond 3 song track packs and going for full album releases? And were there any labels that were particularly hard to work with to get songs from? I'm still sad my multiple request for Pavement never amounted to them being in Rock Band.

Hi Ya'll! I was just wondering if any of you have checked out Bring Me the Horizon's new EP, POST HUMAN: SURVIVAL HORROR? It was produced by Mick Gordon of DOOM fame. There are also a ton of deep cut video game references scattered throughout the lyrics. It's a super fun listen if you haven't checked it out already. All the best, Noah D. Here is the opening track that just hits you from the get go with the DOOM vibes. Gordon's work on the album is most apparent on this track. https://open.spotify.com/track/3DW6GVr7RVyfvo4NBRvZIZ

Ziggy Stardust is such a great record, Rock and Roll Suicide in particular is one of my favorite songs ever, due to its non-linear structure and unique chord progression, which reminds one of Chanson songwriters like Jaqcues Brel or composers like Kurt Weill. While many famous artists took inspiration from him, I feel like few have ever recreated similar songwriting styles in pop music after him (but please correct me if I am wrong). If you haven't, just sit down with a guitar and figure out the chords to your favorite Bowie songs to reveal another layer of the man's genius beyond the style and his place in culture. While I would normally try and recommend a song related to one of the bands in some way, I'd like to recommend this week the song Homeo Apathy by Leftover Crack, The band's bassist, Alec Baillie, tragically passed away last week. He also played in Choking Victim, another quintessential 90s New York Punk Band. To me, these two groups always distinguished themselves by combining so many different punk styles and for occasionally tastefully using unique instrumentation, like a Piano and a string section, without seeming gimmicky. The record Fuck World trade is a punk classic that is sadly all too relevant more than sixteen years after its release. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G__njw2b06k

Question: What's your favorite cover of a Bowie song? Personally, I like Butterfly Boucher's version of Changes. It's in the Shrek 2 soundtrack so that might take some credibility points away from it.
