Extremely Dangerous

L, M^2 and I started a band. (In Rock Band. We're thinking of starting a band not in Rock Band too, but that's further out.) With the goal of only playing songs on expert difficulty. This was surprisingly easier to start out than I had expected. I was on drums, M^2 on guitar, L on vocals. We opened the night with "Say It Ain't So", and while I was expecting that to be our top scoring song, it only clocked in at #5 as the night went on.

Most fun to play: "Here It Goes Again" - OK Go. This one was a real blast! I actually got the drum beat and we were rocking it like mad.

Second most fun to play: "All The Small Things" - Blink 182. Crazy drumming but it felt so good! We followed this one up with "When You Were Young", one of our favorites, but it was also a real killer on the drums. I managed to die about 2/3 through, and after that couldn't get back into the beat. We finished the song with me having failed out, but the others held through.

Gaming the system: The setlist that lets you get a van has a mystery song. The first time we tried, it was Epic. Ouch. After the burn from that one, the next shot got "Go With The Flow", which some readers may recall I was horribly stuck on about a week ago, on hard. That went poorly as well. Third try we got the Ramones and finished it off. Whew. (Do I need to say which song by the Ramones? Didn't think so.)

You can tell it's been a good jam session when you have to get up to change your shirt halfway through. And then it's dripping again when you finish.
