Didn't get to play yesterday, so go practice your face melters! Only 1 of 5 has been called so far, and we're 16/47 down!
(Consider that fair warning that something harder than Godzilla will be forthcoming.)

Edit: just noticed, we have 31 days for 31 songs.

I've been fairly absent for the last week...busy with other things.

Anyway, I finally attempted these today and did rather poorly. Then again I was moderately happy with my previous scores.

Sharp Dressed Man
Was: 205243
Is: 219469
High Score: 259032
Stride: 26%

Texas Flood
Was: 132597
Is: 133598
High Score: 241103
Stride: 1% (ugh, don't even need a calculator for that one)

Additionally, I'm adding in Hey You and Ace of Spades for today, which I also worked on. (I may go back and edit Ace. I wasn't happy with the results. Hey You, however, was already FC'ed and I improved it.)

Hey You
Was: 239599
Is: 243121
High Score: 252637
Stride: 27% (for already FC'ed, I'll take it)

Was: 166006
Is: 183021
High Score: 234380
Stride: 25%

And to help make up for lost time, gonna also call two more songs for tomorrow (that hopefully I'll get to!) They are Guitar Hero and Sail Your Ship By.

Whoa, lots of stuff going on here. Get this stuff out of the way first...very minimal improvement on TF cause, like most of us, I suck at that song.

Grats youhas.

Guitar Hero
Was: 180571
Is: 231883 (THAT'S WHAT I NEED STAR POWER FOR!)
Top: 298412
Stride: 43%

Sail Your Ship By
Was: 222037
Is: 254000
Top: 301004
Stride: 40%

And now to pick a song I will regret...Caveman Rejoice. Toss Even Rats in with it. This will officially bring us past halfway, which means I'll have a special song for the next one. *grin*

On that note, I should point out I've been picking the songs moderately carefully so we have half of everything left. There's 5 songs left in the first two arenas, 5 in the middle two, and 5 in the last two. Which is why I picked two bonus songs for today.

Yeah, well, I'm calling Cowboys From Hell next, if you want to get a head start. No second song. Just Cowboys.

I'm still working on Caveman, though. I hate that song.

**Azuarc** · Joined: 18 Jul 2006 Posts: 1389 Location: Philadelphia

Think I'm gonna change my mind about playing Cowboys next. Played it today a little and got a 10k improvement on first pass (which means I got 110k,) and then couldn't surpass that. Gonna do the once-per-day thing for a bit. I might lob another difficult one out there in it's place though, cause I wanted to do something quasi-special at the midpoint.

Caveman Rejoice
Was: 144514
Is: 173419
High: 266649
Stride: 24%

Even Rats
Was: 332676 (already FC)
Is: 340636 (33rd place)
High: 346568
Stride: 57%

So yeah...where do we go from here, if not to Cowboys? How about the next best thing? Let's play The Breaking Wheel. I'm dying to play Take It Off, but I want something simple to go with that, so let's do Stellar.

Stellar and The Breaking Wheel.
