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.

From a Trisection of the Summer Starry Sky comes a Technostorm Hurricaine of strength -Y!
So, I lost track of time yesterday and forgot to add a new user easy skill token. To make up for that, I’ve added two today. Summer Starry Sky is a very ambient song by TAM, that nearly reminds me of elevator music or hold music on a phone. Very soothing. Stepfile is by jimerax and is a 2. To unlock, Pass Trip to the Moon (Dance) with 80+ Perfects.
Technostorm Hurricaine is our 2nd new user easy skill token of the day. It is a techno song by RaustBlackDragon. No surprise at all that our own resident dragon, SulferDragon, quickly jumped on the opportunity to make this chart. It’s a low 4, IMO. To unlock, get a 250+ combo on RainDrops (Dance).
Public SotW is also on the easier side. Trisection is a Hard Rock remix of some video game song (someone correct me if I’m wrong on this) by Hiroshi Sakimoto. The remix is by Glome. The stepfile is by hi19hi19 and is a 7/12. Many of you will say that this file should be harder… but don’t fear! We do have a v2 in the works that will be much harder. You can find this song in Arcade (yes, I know, I flip flop on this all the time, with the Touhou remix songs in Rock, but I know this is an Arcade remix BEFORE adding it, as opposed to after). If you have enjoyed some of our other recent VG Rock songs, such as The Brain of the Moon or The Dreams of Scarlet, you’ll greatly enjoy Trisection as well.
Subscriber SotW is also up in Funk for testing.
Enjoy,

Whole Bunch of Small Stuff – Profile Chat Update, SotW, New Rock songs, Easy ST.
First off, check out the new profile chat! Yea! This is working off of the same technology as the embedded player chats (Yes, all the myspace embedded players have their own chats!). So, check it out. It’s really swanky and hot looking and awesome. Not to mention, it’ll be much easier for us to moderate!
Yesterday I released the 3rd and 4th song by LoveHateHero into Rock, which had previously been exclusive to their embedded player. They’re upper left of Rock. I have since moved the other rock songs by LoveHateHero and Making April to their appropriate spots throughout the genre. So, enjoy the songs and check out their awesome sites.
Today’s Public SotW is State of Emergency by SynthWulf. I’m not really sure how this happened, but apparently this song became public 1 week ago as opposed to today, and I never noticed. Oh well. Many of you may know this song from Spin It Up. It’s 190bpm and pretty fast paced. It has a bunch of 4-frame jacks in it, so watch out! Difficulty is a 10, because of the 4-framers. Stepfile is by Silver_Brian. You can find it on Page 4 of Misc.
Today’s subscriber SotW is available on Page 2 of Funk. It is Never Look Back by DJ SBX (SymBiotiX). Interesting coincednece that I just spoke with SBX yesterday about getting more of his stuff in game. I do what I can to please the musicians; without them, there wouldn’t be an FFR. Will have a full write up on the song in 3 weeks when it’s public.
Finally… today’s easy Skill Token! 5.1.1. (AG Supercool Mix) is, in fact, a supercool mix of the song 5.1.1. by DJ Nagureo remixed by Aerogroove. The stepfile is a cut of the full song, and is either a hard 2 or an easy 3. This file is MixMasterLar’s 1st file to get into the game, after lots and lots of failed submissions and re-submits. He proves the power of dedication, in that if you work hard and keep at it, you can get a file into the game. To unlock, Pass Dance 2 This (Dance1) with 20 or less boos.
Hope that wasn’t too much information for all of you…
