New National Support Act

Today I played 48 songs for around 1:57:32 and managed to get enough points with When I'm With You to qualify.

Out of my usual impatience, rather than practice enough to make sure I get a really good score I jumped straight into doing the performance. I did get reasonable results and got to play Take Me Out by Franz Ferdinand as an encore.

I unlocked a new guitar, but clicked past the screen by accident so don't recall exactly which one it was. The Star Phaser effect was also unlocked.

My new venue to play is the Palace Hall with the following set:
I Miss You by Incubus, Mean Bitch by Taddy Porter, Sunshine of Your Love by Cream, A More Perfect Union by Titus Andronicus, Rebel Rebel by David Bowie, High and Dry by Radiohead.

Something I find bizarre with this game is that I earned enough points today to bump me into the New National Support Act category. I still can't see anybody wanting to see me play, and my girlfriend tends to stay in bed until after I finish playing!

My son finds the opening to A More Perfect Union annoying, as you hear the first few bars while saving before going to select a new song, I'm not sure if he will be happier that he'll get to hear the full thing when he next joins in on a session.

I have also almost talked myself into getting the Rocksmith 2014 edition for the PS as well, although I have also just splashed out on getting the Lion version of OSX as well. My macbook is rather elderly by computer standards, and can not run Mountain Lion nor Maverick. More's the pity.

I haven't done any work on my Rocktrack application recently, mainly due to starting two online courses.
