This week Harmionix gives us a four-pack of downloadable tracks. Two from Rush and a Pair from the Red Hot Chili Peppers. What’s interesting is that one of the tracks is a re-release of a currently available track. “Working Man” from Rush is being released as a master track (the first time it was only a cover) which also includes an alternate solo. The new tracks are listed below.

• Red Hot Chili Peppers “Snow (Hey Oh)”
• Red Hot Chili Peppers “Tell Me Baby”
• Rush “Closer to the Heart”
• Rush “Working Man” (alternate-take master)

All four songs are master tracks, and will go for $2 each. No track pack this week.

If you’re a big World of Warcraft addict, then I might point you to this page. You’ll likely need to log into your account to access it, however, doing so will put your name into the pool for a Wrath of the Lich King beta key.

The beta selection is completely random, so there’s nothing that you can do to better your chances (unless you have more than one paying account). Also, if you happen to be one of the lucky bastards that gets their name pulled out, you are welcome to give it to a friend or relative.

Yes, this means you can also likely sell it for a small fortune on eBay. However, doing so may very well win you the award for World’s Biggest Douche.

I’m beginning to wonder just how seriously some people take things like NDAs and industry secrets. Take for instance this screenshot that was recently shown on G4. I highly doubt that Harmonix wanted this to be seen, as it lists 11 tracks in Rock Band 2, 9 of which have not been announced. Of course I harbor no feeling of remorse for passing along the info to you guys.

One thing you should keep in mind is that Harmonix is constantly changing which tracks are going to be included for DLC (I would imagine the same holds true for the songs included on the RB2 disc). I wouldn’t be surprised if a few of these didn’t make the cut.
