it is the one right on route 9 just east of my place. i can't remember the name. meats were good and not oversalted like greenfields. there's one right on 126 just north of route 9 that looks good- there used to be a mexican restaurant there. it looks a lttle more upscale that the one on route 9.

paul and i were the only two english-speaking people there....

Anything you DON'T like? I mean, 2 of the 6 songs Boston doesn't even have on their own greatest hits disc which has 16 tracks.

Honestly, the showing of DLC has been constantly hovering in the C to C- range. When Harmonix does choose a relevant artist, they manage to choose mediocre tracks.

I'm dying for some more modern music...and I know they're not looking to make it a radio-song game, but for crying out loud- let's get a few songs that people have actually heard of! How do you expect players to drum and sing to songs they've never heard before??

I dunno, most weeks their DLC announcments (which happen on Friday at 2pm, BTW) are a letdown. This week it's only a slight letdown but nevertheless, I'm losing faith as I wait week after week for some new and interesting music.

There's one down by the train station that's phenomenal... a friend of a friend owns it and the food is delicious.

Then there's Terra Brasilis (i think) on 135, about 1/2 mile east of 126...it's usually really good... i did have one instance of a ****ty meal there...very salty and dry, but usually they were spot on.

the earache thrash pack is pretty poor. i think this boston pack is pretty sick tho. the last two are the least known by far but they are pretty good songs. i think things will pick up tho. have u checked out the music store? its waaay easier to buy music now.

i do have to agree with davidface. their song choices aren't fantastic by any means.

i don't know why they wouldn't add some more mainstream stuff in there.

i think an aerosmith pack would be fun. maybe a stones pack with a song that actually makes sense and doesn't have 5 vocal lines a la gimmme shelter.

its probably mainly a legal thing... most artists probably either didnt want to be involved or wanted too much $$$. i think that now the game is getting so big, better artists will sign on and better songs will show up.
