What we’re reading May 26th from 17:09 to 18:34:

• Kotaku – BioShock 2 Dated, Coming First To Europe – bioshock 2 – BioShock 2 gets a date! November 3rd. In. Line. Now. Okay, not really. But close.
• Matt Brett » Hitting the WordPress Theme Market with a Vengeance – One of my favorite WordPress theme designers introduces a new premium theme, Black Aperature. Looks sweet!
• Glastonbury Festivals – Line-Up – Oh. Dear. God. It'd be faster to write up who's NOT going to be at this festival than who is. Lucky Brits.
• Getafilm: The Favorite Movie Period/Place Meme – Daniel Getahun starts a meme asking for your favorite cinematic time/place – what film has a specific temporal and spatial setting that you wish you could be part of?
• Doodad Kind of Town: Looking Forward to: "Nine" – Oh, I never realized that Nine was itself based on a stage play homage to Fellini's 8 1/2. I knew there was Fellini in there somewhere, but that explains a lot.

Rock Band downloadable content this week is songs from the European release, hence EUROPEAN SONGS. Awesome. There’s also “Hysteria” by Muse, which I’m definitely up for, since Muse is incredible, and they just released a three-pack of Muse songs for Guitar Hero 3 a few weeks ago, causing all Rock Band-only owners to breathe a collective sigh of frustration. (Although we shouldn’t, since we get like twenty times as much DLC as GH3 does.) But I’m also really excited about this song from German band Juli. I first heard them on European MTV when I was over there, and I love their whole CD. No clue what it’s saying, since I don’t speak German, but hey. That’ll just make the vocals extra challenging, right? AND AWESOME.
