Remember just a few short weeks ago when Valve announced something straight out of the department of awesomeness? Well, here’s your confirmation. EA announced today that Jonathan Coulton’s famous little song “Still Alive” will be released as a free download tomorrow for Rock Band on Xbox Live with a release on the Playstation Network coming on April 17th.

It seems that Harmonix and EA are of the same opinion as it was announced today that “Still Alive” by Jonathan Coulton would be making an appearence in a future DLC update for Rock Band. In game the song is listed as “‘Still Alive’ by GLaDOS” but the release date has yet to be determined. It must be quite far along however as during the Valve GDC party Wednesday night several Harmonix staff members as well as Coulton himself got up on stage and performed for the song for all to see.
Lets just hope someone at the party is willing to upload a video of the event…

To celebrate the launch Activision has also revealed that players can download the classic power ballad “Dream On” in Guitar Hero 3 for free between February 16-18th. And just when I had thought Rock Band had converted me away…
