Weird battery effects + top 40

This week we gained about 30M points by playing 32 unranked songs. If we use the current stats at RockBandStats.com, this moves us up from rank 53 to 40 in the "All Songs" Leaderboards (322M to 352M).

Half the songs were played with our optimal line-up and half with a different combination for Drums, Bass and Vocals. We get around 75% of Gold stars for songs played with the optimal line-up.

There were also some weird effects with Bongoo's guitar near the end. The low batteries caused some dropped notes here and there and some flashing of the effects switch menu on and off. Replacing them with some of Phoenix's batteries gave an even weirder result, with everything working correctly except the overdrive triggering on its own all the time on the next note after being ready...

Highlights:
- Stars breakdown for the 32 songs: Gold star (12), 5 stars (7), 4 stars (11), 3 stars (2)
- Sylvie plays drums for one 8-song set and does very well on tough songs like "Vital Signs"
- We have a great run on "Damnation Game", even without our optimal line-up on Bass and Vocals
- Bongoo is the "Top Performer" for the most songs (19), followed by Raikan (15), DMan and Phoenix (2 each), and Sylvie (1)
- Raikan and Bongoo have the most FCs (5 each), followed by DMan (2)
- DMan didn't stay on Vocals the whole session, so it's worth noting that he is the only one who didn't miss a BRE (1 miss each)
- We learn that Trapper has his own song in Rock Band ("Dead" by the Pixies): "U gotta hit the Trapper, the Trapper..." ;)
