Worst Performer: PS3

Last week we decided to start tracking the worst performers for each song (see Highlights section below, or should it be Lowlights?). It means the person who got the lowest percentage for any particular song. Tracking this info gives us extra motivation to perform well, but it does put Raikan at a disadvantage as it can be tough to match pitch for songs he's never heard before.

We actually decided that the real worst performer for the night was the PS3, as it froze after our 6th song in the first 8-song set. Was the PS3 shocked that Sylvie got her 1st song as worst performer, even though she's on bass? ;) Those 6 songs are now still marked as unplayed in the Stars sort in-game. Fortunately the scores are automatically sent to Harmonix's servers after playing each song, so we have all 1167 songs marked as played at RockBandStats.com (see the "All Songs" Leaderboards).

After playing the 2 weeks of new DLC (24 songs), we gained 25M points, for a total of 1,156M points. This leaves us 50M points behind 10th place "Ride Sally Ride". Our new average points per song is 991K (up 1K from the previous week).

Highlights:
- Stars breakdown for the 24 songs: Gold stars (8), 5 stars (14), 4 stars (2, for "End It on This" and "You Can Do It")
- Bongoo was the "Top Performer" for the most songs (17), followed by Sylvie (6), Raikan (3) and Phoenix (2)
- Raikan was the "Worst Performer" for the most songs (14), followed by Phoenix (6), Sylvie (4) and Bongoo (3)
- Bongoo had the only FCs of the night (3)
- Sylvie's funniest wah-wah bass moments were during "Push Push (Lady Lightning)" and "The Climb"
- We got a weird bug once again during a RBN song where the percentage for the solo stayed on the screen even after it was finished
