Sorry. Blogger was out for a while. While it was, I played Quick Play, and 99%ed "Give It Away and 100%ed "Testify" and "So What'Cha Want" (Vocals, Hard). To be fair, I knew all the words to "Give It Away" going in. And they're all rap songs. But I never did that well on "Sabotage," which means my "this game is easy" theory is looking pretty strong.
No Pain, No Plane Challenge (Vocals, Hard): I feel cocky. I figure if I can beat "Psycho Killer" (I did that too. I thought this one was supposed to be harder?), I can do whatever this game throws at me. Let's see.
"Lump" is harder than I thought it would be, probably because I didn't try very hard. And who would have thought? "Psycho Killer" itself. You know, this song wouldn't be that hard if that guy* just sang in English. "Pinball Wizard" is probably my least favorite Who song. Of course, that's a relative measure; it's still one of the game's better songs.
Challenging Mystery Setlist (Vocals, Hard): "Let There Be Rock" is about the closest we're gonna get to an all-tambourine song. I failed "Rob the Prez-O-dent" the first time. I didn't care, I had to do it again. It's easily the funniest song in the game and I encourage you to seek it out immediately.
*I know David Byrne's name. It was for comic effect.
Make A Setlist: "I Was Wrong" and "Lazy Eye" (Vocals, Hard) (plus added Hard guitar challenge): I never really thought about it, but "I was Wrong" is like the anti-punk song. It's the song you listen to when you stop hating everything and realize that most of your problems are your own fault. It's totally made me rethink my life (not really). "Lazy Eye" is pretty good, but it wish they gave you some thing to do for the 48 hour guitar solo than hit the tambourine 1000 times. And the mystery song is... "Carry on My Wayward Son," part 1 of the Guitar Hero Carryovers (the other two are "Ace of Spades" and "More than a Feeling," neither of which I have yet). It's not really that hard of a guitar song, or a vocals song (except for the end). Also, more cowbell than any song I've yet seen.

21st Century Marathon (Vocals, Hard):
"The Middle"-- I've written enough about this one.
"Girl's Not Grey"--Failed once, barely passed second time. Don't like it anyway.
"Lazy Eye"-- Repeat
"Our Truth"-- I'm not sure how I feel about the two-vocalists thing. I thought a duet or backing vocals feature would be a cool multiplayer mode even before Rock Band Classic came out, but I'm not sure it works here. This song is OK otherwise.
"Chop Suey"-- This song, while not easy, is way easier than I expected. Still awesome, though.
"Give It All"--Failed. Second time hummed (an octave lower) and almost got four stars.
"Colony of Birchmen"-- I accidentally misread this song's title as "Colony of Bitchmen,"which I like better. On the one hand, I'm glad they did some metal, and it's probably awesome on drums. On the other, it's a bitch to sing (probably the hardest I didn't fail out of, and harder than some of those), and it just broke my XBox. Also I'm gonna starting shouting "RUN WITH DEATH!" in my best Nathan Explosion voice, at random people on the street, and I encourage you to do the same*.
*This blog, its parent company, and all of its subsidiaries do not advocate yelling "RUN WITH DEATH!" at random strangers, no matter how cool it is. Don't blame us if or when it goes horribly awry. Awry means bad.
Since my XBox just froze up and I don't feel like starting over, so I'm out bitchladies and bitchgentlemen.
