And it's time for open thread day again! Today's rough topic is your favorite music you listened to this week. :)
For me, that's a close match between many songs on _Set Yourself on Fire_ (Stars), the song _Dead On Arrival_ (Fall Out Boy), and the entire album _Black Parade_ (My Chemical Romance). I'm going to give the favorite award to the latter, because it's what got me through some tough spots this week. The first two are still great though, just didn't carry the week. :)

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.
