FFRMas 2008 – Day 4! 1st of 2s
I mentioned on Day 1 that only 2 users would have multiple files in this event… and it just so happens that both have files released today. Our lucky 2 are behanjc and Silvuh.
Moonlight River is a melodic piece by Ikodo Moonstrife that I’m sure you all will enjoy playing. The chart may remind you a bit of World of Dreams… it’s full of jumps. But not as long, not as hard, and 10bpm slower. A solid 6.
Fake Jazz is a pretty self explaining song title… although it sounds pretty similar to not-Fake Jazz. Lots of 24th stream to guitar and piano solos make this one heck of a fun VC chart to play. Oh yea… did I mention it was by S.S.H.?

FFRMas 2008 Day 3 – Long Post Is Long!
OK… so let’s make up for all the stuff I didn’t do the past few days:
Fei Longer is now synced. Difficulty is a low 10. Somehow, in the sync process, we lost 2 arrows… so I had to wipe a few scores. Sorry. Clear your cache to get the properly synced and correctly arrow’d version. If you like Star Salzman, check out his site and download his tunes. And yes hi19… the file is a jackdump.
The 2 files for today are Forgotten Planet by Rushjet1 and bmv.578 by OSTER Project. Forgotten Planet is far, far easier than most of the Rushjet you know, but it has that same 8-bit sound. This is Patashu’s first public release, although you can expect another of his files to hit the public in about 10 days. Expect many more good charts by him too! This one is only a Standard, a 5.
bmv.578 may sound slightly familiar to some people… it’s only 1 small letter off from what it’s based on, which is Bach’s Little Fugue in G Minor, aka BWV.578. To me, it’s a high FMO for the 5 repetitive jack sections, specifically the long up jacks. They sure give me fits. Regardless, the song is amazing and the chart is excellent. Props to dag12 for it. You should all play it now… there is nothing better than well stepped and synced classical charts.

FFRMas Day 2!
I’m leaving for the airport in about 20 minutes, so even shorter than yesterday… I’ll fix the sync on Fei Longer when I get home tonight. Today’s 2 songs are Felys by Onoken, stepped by Vote4Nixon and Snake Riddem by our very own championanwar, stepped by jokim. I guess I lied yesterday… and Felys is a purchased song (naturally), given that we already have a Felys remix in-game. Snake Riddem is in Hip-Hop though. Also, difficulties are probably wrong… will fix tonight.Â

FFRMas 2008 – Day 1!
Sorry that this is so brief… I’m in Philly with my family, flying back to LA tomorrow morning. I’ll make sure to give a big story on Tuesday.
Today is the start of our 3rd annual FFRMas celebration… 12 days of publicly released FFR files! This year is a year of diversity. 2 new levels each day. That’s 24, for those who don’t want to do math. Of those 24, we have 22 different artists… and 24 different stepfilers (although 2 are collabs, so there are 2 users with repeat levels).
All levels will be at the end of Hip-Hop through the end of the event, then they’ll be moved to their proper locations. Today’s songs are Fei Longer by Star Salzman, stepped by hi19hi19 and Night and Day by Virt, stepped by ElectricWerewolf. Sadly, I won’t get to play either of these files until Tuesday… so I can’t give you any reviews on them. Also, the difficulties listed in-game will be wrong until I can play them and fix it.
But, I’m sure you all are just glad to get some levels…  not to mention darkshark’s MP contest running now through 11pm EST!!! Maybe he’ll do something involving these new levels? Who knows…

PS – No links, because I’m in a rush… will make sure to give love to all the linkless folks on Tuesday. Promise.
Multiplayer Not-So-Spontaneous Contest!!

{Big Boss}. Brackets Can Only Mean One Thing…
New cornandbeans! That’s right. {Big Boss} sounds like it should be right out of Castlevania, but I’m pretty sure it’s straight from CnB’s big musical brain. Stepfile is by the under appreciated and eccentric Vote4Nixon. Currently in funk, but I’m sure jx will be moving it in the next 24-48 hours. Also, *gasp*, it’s NOT a purchased song! The song is short and sweet and Very Challenging.
Subbies get some Orange Dust in the form of Patashu‘s Dead and Direct. It’s a low-mid FMO.

CRD + FFR = <3
Cock Rock Disco. If that name isn’t enough to get you interested then I don’t know what is.
Cock Rock Disco (CRD), the preeminent label based in Berlin, owned and operated by Jason Forrest, a.k.a. DJ Donna Summer, has recently given FFR permission to use any music published by CRD.
The first song to make it in the game, “Counter Clockwise Chant Pattern” by Terminal 11, is just the beginning of high-energy/breakcore/sexy that is the music released through CRD.
It will challenge your mind, break you down, kick you and then pick you back up leaving you different than you once were.
Anyhoot, yes, I did just use that word. Just like I’m stretching this out much longer than I need to because CRD, Cock Rock Disco, should be featured on this site more than it is. That means that if you are willing and able, grab some of their music and step it for the game, or see here for more links and which artists CRD represents, et cetera. But yeah, along with just stretching this out, I’m going to repeat their name a few mores times because I really like them that much.

Yes, every one of those is a separate link, all going to the same place, or are they? The answer, yes, they do all go to the same place. Cock Rock Disco. That one also goes to the same place.
Also, make sure to check out their site, www.CockRockDisco.com, for free music, news about new releases, forums, free music and more free music.
Thanks for your attention,

Tower and my 1000th level
Today’s public song is the very challenging Tower by AKHT. I don’t really have much to say about it… but it’s yours for 1000 credits in Purchased. File is by hi19hi19.
New subbie song is out too, Moon Child -Go With The Flow- by Naotyu. File by bmah. Will tell you all about it in 3 weeks. PS – This file is the 1000th I’ve personally added to FFR, including widgets.
