Stargroup Appreciation Day
So, some of you know Stargroup100, self appointed least appreciated simfile maker on FFR. As such, I’ve decided to dedicate today to him. I’ve released 2 of his queue’d files publicly today. Please give your honest feedback about them in the comments here. I’m sure he’ll appreciate it.
Crazy Hair Day is a bit of a whacky jazzy piece by composer Chet Heflin, and can be found in the beginning of Misc. It’s got 19 4-framers, so watch out!
Nanatsuropanda is a jazzy piece by OSTER Project and is Stargroup’s masterpiece (or so he’s said). You can find it at the beginning of Misc as well. It’s either a high 9 or low 10… I’ll take input on this also.
So feel free to start in on the discussion after you play these 2 files! Playful ribbing at Stargroup’s expense is encouraged! You can also discuss these files in the Stargroup Appreciation Day thread.

Few New Songs To Say We LOVE You
We’ve distract you all with shiny new levels for you to play. We released the Smiley song Hyper Hyper -Definitive Version- by eastsideman09 (Dance2 Page1) and the extremely challenging FMO Venetian Snares song Choprite by Brilliant Dynamite Neon (Misc Page1) on Tuesday. In addition, I just released the song Ancient’s Death by Manmademusic and stepped by SulferDragon (Dance2 Page1 for now). If all that is not enough, the Kil tribute to iPatch, iPatch’s OP became public today (aka, SotW!), stepped by ElectricWerewolf (in Funk, for the next day or two).Finally, if you haven’t noticed, all of the subscribers week songs are now public as well. 50 of them have already been re-located to their proper locations throughout the genres, but 20 are still in Hip-Hop for the next day or two.

A little Song of the Week catchup
Public Songs of the Week:
Mute City Remix is a mix of the Mute City levels of the game F-Zero. I’ve always been a big fan of the futuristic racing game, so I’m glad to see that we now have a song in game from it, courtesy of our very own KgZ. The stepfile is a rated a 10, Very Challenging, for it’s 24th bursts at 170bpm (255bpm 16ths, for those keeping track). The stepfile is a collab between SulferDragon and Brilliant Dyanmite Neon. So, basically, a song by an awesome artist and a stepfile by 2 rising young stepfilers… you can’t lose. But, well, there is 1 small catch. It’s a secret song, so you need 45,000 credits to play it. Believe me, it IS worth it!
If for some reason you don’t have 45k credits, don’t feel too bad! We still have a song for you from Friday. Mocha Ocean is a cute little tune by Yamajet. The song is short and sweet, coming it at 79 seconds long. Stepfile is by MeaCulpa and is rated a 4, Easy. You can find it on page 1 of Misc.
Finally, Sunday’s SotW is bbblow by Onoken. It’s a really snazzy Tribal Euro piece stepped by Rebirth0. I don’t really have much else to say about it, so I’ll use this space as filler to discuss the lint in my belly button. Check out Onoken’s site as well. You can find bbblow on page 1 of Dance2, as it is rated a mid-8, Very Difficult.
There are also 2 subscriber songs in Funk for the next 3 weeks. One was added Saturday, one this morning. Neither are that hard.
More fun to come,

Special classical song release – Tambourin Chinois
I think I haven’t written up a news post for a long time. Yes, special release today because Tass felt like doing it.
This song was composed by Fritz Kreisler (1875 – 1962) around 1910. Fritz was a great violinist as well as a composer and author. Ingame music is by me using the computer MIDI format. It is a short version and it has constant BPM (160 BPM) with many 24ths, 32nds, and jumps. It’s kind of a tricky song, we rate it low 5/6 (Very Challenging), despite being less than 70 seconds long.
Have fun with a violin piece.
Secrets & Lies are Like Infinite Blue Glass
I have no idea what that means, but I don’t really care. A bit late, but the most recently released skill token is Like Glass by DJ Karbon, of World of Dreams fame. It’s definitely a unique sounding song, classified as Breakbeats. The stepfile is by Ben Speirs. To unlock this song that sounds like glass, pass Seattle’s Finest (Hip-Hop) with 50 or less goods, 40 or less averages, 40 or less misses, and 60 or less boos.
Yesterday’s public SotW is Secrets & Lies by Rushjet1. Rushjet is known for making video game remixes as well as original scores that are 8-bit sounding. Secrets & Lies reminds me of Castlevania, but is an original piece, and as it is not from a VG, it is in Dance2 instead of Arcade. Also I guess a strong case could be made for it being in Misc. Oh well. This file marks the first for highly regarded simfile author DigitalS3r4ph, aka Tsuka. Hopefully we’ll see more work from him in the future. The file is a 9/12 for its 150bpm 16ths with jumps.
There is also a new subscriber SotW in funk if you haven’t seen it yet.
Finally, a personal thank you to Veritas’s Jamie and Will for the wonderful little thank you package they sent me containing chocolates, a few Veritas stickers, and the Veritas EP. Once again, check out their level 5 Black Skulls in Rock as well as checking out their myspace and website.
