Harmonix VP of Strategy and Business Development, Chris Rigopulos, sits down with us to chat about the ongoing strategy for the Rock Band franchise going forward through 2011. Big topics are covered, such as May’s specific DLC releases (including an EXCLUSIVE announcement) and if we’ll be seeing a Rock Band 4 coming soon. We also touch on the famous rivalry between the Rigopulos Brothers. http://rockband.com/content-assets/2011/05/chrisdlc.mp3 Fri, 6 May 2011 01:00:00 EST 43:00 Music, Video Games no<img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/OfficialHarmonixRockBandPodcast/~4/xnsr7x_zo78" height="1" width="1"/>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/OfficialHarmonixRockBandPodcast/~3/xnsr7x_zo78/chrisdlc.mp3http://rockband.com/content-assets/2011/05/chrisdlc.mp3 Harmonix Music Systems This week on the show we’re joined by some podcast regulars to chat about Harmonix’s involvement in the world of downloadable content. Welcome friends and newcomers! This week on the show we’re joined by some podcast regulars to chat about Harmonix’s involvement in the world of downloadable content. With around 2700 songs currently available for Rock Band, and some incredible new music on its way, we figured it was a good time to chat about just how that DLC gets made. It’s a huge process with numerous moving parts, and our hope is that it will illuminate some things for our rabid fans. Also in this episode, FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER, we reveal our Top Ten Selling Rock Band Artists. You may be surprised by what’s made the list, and what hasn’t. http://rockband.com/content-assets/2011/04/dlcdlcdlc.mp3 Fri, 22 April 2011 01:00:00 EST 56:26 Music, Video Games no<img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/OfficialHarmonixRockBandPodcast/~4/vTHGE25AeiU" height="1" width="1"/>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/OfficialHarmonixRockBandPodcast/~3/vTHGE25AeiU/dlcdlcdlc.mp3http://rockband.com/content-assets/2011/04/dlcdlcdlc.mp3 Harmonix Music Systems This week’s podcast is a one-on-one chat with special guest and Harmonix Hero Jason "King" Kendall.

Keeping up with our ongoing podcast series focused on specific music genres and their roots, this week we've got the granddaddy of them all - The Blues. Almost every popular rock song in the past 60 years owes a huge debt to the thing known as The Blues, and along with Harmonix's human encyclopedia of music, Kurt Davis, we get to the bottom of why the blues is so important. It also lends a tad of relevance to this podcast, as it comes during Black History Month, and this music is a huge part of that legacy. http://rockband.com/content-assets/2011/01/kurtykurt.mp3 Fri, 11 February 2011 01:00:00 EST 52:30 Music, Video Games no<img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/OfficialHarmonixRockBandPodcast/~4/rLsFCwhclsY" height="1" width="1"/>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/OfficialHarmonixRockBandPodcast/~3/rLsFCwhclsY/kurtykurt.mp3http://rockband.com/content-assets/2011/01/kurtykurt.mp3 Harmonix Music Systems We talk about one of my favorite genres of music, the much misunderstood and oft-maligned style called Ska.

Well, an auditory mess – our extended DLC roundtable this week features singing! Before you let your eardrums be assaulted though we've got some great segments for you. Meet the newest member of the Community Team, Kyle, also known as HMXDropslash. Mr. Pope also has the first in an incredible two part interview with Dan Teasdale, Senior Designer here at Harmonix. Dan answers questions that members of the Rock Band community have been dying to know – so grab your tarps and tune in. http://www.rockband.com/content-assets/2010/11/splatter.mp3 Fri, 12 February 2010 01:00:00 EST 32:06 Music, Video Games no<img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/OfficialHarmonixRockBandPodcast/~4/3I_1TfLAXzw" height="1" width="1"/>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/OfficialHarmonixRockBandPodcast/~3/3I_1TfLAXzw/splatter.mp3http://www.rockband.com/content-assets/2010/11/splatter.mp3 Harmonix Music Systems Episode 9 If you somehow missed all the cool stuff that happened last week, then you MUST listen to this podcast. It's work hard, play hard, all the time here at Harmonix. Kat interviews the residents of HMXWebtowne about the blood sweat and tears that went into the launch of RBN (now officially in public Beta!). Pope, Thrasher, Henry, and Alex recount their adventures at NAMM (that's the National Association of Music Merchants) and throw up some jazz hands. TheBestSteph is back with more "Stuff We Think is Cool." (Spoilers, gigglegent HMXKfan is involved!). Finally we've got a DLC roundtable to tidy things up. http://www.rockband.com/content-assets/2010/11/toot.mp3 Fri, 29 Jan 2010 01:00:00 EST 42:58 Music, Video Games no<img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/OfficialHarmonixRockBandPodcast/~4/vo7hJQssXWc" height="1" width="1"/>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/OfficialHarmonixRockBandPodcast/~3/vo7hJQssXWc/toot.mp3http://www.rockband.com/content-assets/2010/11/toot.mp3 Harmonix Music Systems Episode 8 We've got a good one for you this week.
