JC-UK (P) & TheIceQueen (J & E)...... THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!! I REALLY enjoyed playing the Pixies and was smiling from ear to ear - singing along the entire time! I became a HUGE Frank Black, Breeders, and Pixies fan back in the early 90's. So many good memories and thanks to you guys, the jam really brought me to a happy place. This year marks their 20th anniversary of the Doolittle album and I'm still trying to get tickets to one of their sold-out shows in NYC or DC. Anyways... can't thank you enough. Can't wait to jam again soon.

It was our pleasure VW and JC-UK, we totally enjoyed every minute! The ironic thing was that after trying to plan the jam for weeks, it finally happened by chance. Erin and I are also big Pixies/Frank Black/Breeders fans and I totally know what you mean about their music taking you to a happy place! I hope you can make it to one of their shows, that would be a total blast! Harmonix seems to like the Pixies so maybe we'll get lucky with some more dlc in the future! Btw, we totally enjoyed your singing along, maybe you should think about taking up vox!! We should definately try to jam again soon! And I 100% agree with Black Cherry on Database Corrupted, it's an awesome song!

Very quick jam last thing last night – I really should learn not to play Rock Band just before going to bed as I then couldn’t get to sleep and am now going to be tired all day in work – ah well the rock must go on. “Windcaller2” took Vox, “VW_Fetish” guitar and I couldn’t find another Freddy guitarist so I recruited someone else off my friend’s list forgetting he had no DLC so it was RB2 all the way: Come Out and Play (Keep ‘em Separated) (384) 1,245,413 Man in a Box (207) 1,112,075 I Was Wrong (209) 1,088,328 Rebel Girl (219) 1,112,608 Despite me worries that it would be Everlong the band then convinced me to go for the video shoot the game kept wanting me to do – so I selected it and it was of course: Everlong (551) 1,260,171 (I scraped through with 89% but the others kept me going) That’s What You Get (599) 1,150,126 Pretend We’re Dead (157) 1,299,256 Then I suddenly lost connection with everyone and decided it was time to call it a night. Keep Rocking

An epic jam for “Jim’s Fred Phobia” tonight – Hamreus and Waaaaatsupppp took guitar and Bass and BlackCherry 831 took the mic for the first half of the set:
CrushCrushCrush (66) 1,161,825 Once (43) 837,556 Roam (14) 1,757,003
We then played a random set and I can only assume I have somehow offended RB2 due to the songs it chose – any one of them I am okay to play individually but playing them one after the other I was in a certain amount of pain by the end:
Foreplay / Long Time (88) 1,623,946 (Don’t Fear) The Reaper (221) 1,280,847 Outside (217) 824,391 Everlong (1421) 1,048,546
So I took it down to some easier stuff after that pounding:
It’s My Life (16) 837,780 Troublemaker (17) 1,063,115 Celebrity Skin (65) 1,051,077 Ex-Girlfriend (23) 1,212,040 Date with the Night (36) 741,832
Cherry had to leave us so we called on the vocal services of Fishheadstewy for the second half of the set:
Lump (446) 808,814 Spoonman (378) 812,431 Poison (21) 1,366,641 Use Me (20) 1,308,438 Margaritaville (31) 1,500,440 Don’t Stop Believing (60) 1,149,543 Are You Gonna Go My Way (31) 783,992 Gimme Three Steps (34) 1,410,091 Flirtin’ With Disaster (101) 1,639,851 Last Resort (22) 1,704,564
Epic jam everyone
Keep Rocking

This was an awesome jam, and a lot of fun. It was great to sing so many Beatles songs in a row.
The Beatles band leaderboards are very odd. It lists the PSN IDs of each account in a band -- so if two people were playing on one system, only three names would show up in the leaderboard for the song. In this way it can be argued that our #4 score for the Abbey Road medley is actually the #2 band score, because the three people ahead of us have the same exact score. (And ack, they beat us by 500,000 points? Sheesh! I need to practice some more.)
I'm still bowled over by that #1 for Lovely Rita.
Usually on vox I look to see when it seems like the drummer is going to activate overdrive and trigger mine just before, but I find it really hard to see in TBRB, especially on a bright dreamscape.

A quick jam for “Jim’s Fred Phobia” late last night (for me and Hamreus anyway) with me, Rdominick on Vox and Hamreus and Edisinsane2 on gtr and Bass. Setlist was:
Shooting Star (98) 1,928,405 A Jagged Gorgeous Winter (174) 901,278 at Rdominick’s request – I really can’t maintain the rhythm on this song its just weird The Killing Jar (8) 1,473,185 – TOP TEN SCORE but some way below the number 1 score still held by “Jim’s Fred Phobia” J De-Luxe (8) 1,568,772 – TOP TEN SCORE ON AN ON DISC SONG!!!!! How often does that happen? Another One Bites the Dust (8) 1,108,334 – TOP TEN SCORE Cross-eyed and Painless (10) 1,225,752 – TOP TEN SCORE Alex Chilton (61) 1,299,920

Well yesterday evening JimCallumUK1812 and Hamreus, his guitar strapped between his shoulders wandered their lonely path across the plains of rock. Then they did come across two lovely maidens –Delyrical with the voice of an angel and Blackcherry831 wielding power of the chords that would make the mountains weep. And thus in that desolate place a mighty ballad of rock was spun: Head Over Feet (8) 1,982,712 – TOP TEN SCORE Running (7) 1,015,504 – TOP TEN SCOREExcuse Me Mr (30) 1,154,722Somebody to Love (9) 1,553,547 – TOP TEN SCOREEl Scorchio (13) 1,375,582 Dreaming (14) 1,590,536Maps (48) 978,946 But the maidens had to travel on their way as the festival of thanksgiving was close upon them and there was much to prepare. The two knights of rock carried on their weary journey the sun blazing upon them. Without so much as the opening bars of “Highway Star” to sustain them. But as all looked lost they came across two more fair maids – Windcaller2 with a voice that charmed the stars and SKK817 whose playing made the sun shine brighter – and thus a second bout of mighty rock was brought to the world sustaining all in these desolate times. Move Along (153) 989,536 Brainpower (139) 400,532 Where’d You Go? (279) 400,532 Mr Brightside (147) 1,081,075 Under the Bridge (130) 975,191 Wake Up Call (29) 965,804Weight of the World (74) 423,805 Wonderwall (74) 1,299,757 When You Were Young (69) 1,139,276 My Own Worst Enemy (288) 808,834 Dirty Little Secret (45) 1,221,242 Makes me Wonder (18) 688,599Little of our Time (24) 688,599Hysteria (268) 742,305 And then the knights and the maidens parted company once more as frankly it was getting stupidly late in Europe and even knights have to go to bed some time Keep Rocking
