The Turkey God’s Secret: Kick Your A
As Tass hinted at this past Monday, the Turkey God has unveiled a special secret today–specifically, a new song in the Secret section of FFR, stepped by yours truly. Those of you who have 15,000 credits can now play Kick Your A, an SGX remix of the DDR song “A”. SGX has been graciously letting us use his awesome music from the start, and to him we are thankful–he has more songs on FFR than any other artist. Check out his music at his site here.
Also, note that this isn’t a Song of the Week, and there will still be one out next Monday–don’t worry.
Happy turkey consuming,
Song of the Week: Norgers
I don’t understand how it took this long to finally get a djshox song into FFR, but it has finally happened. Stepped by xObserveRx, Norgers is a fairly simple song that reminds me a bit of the 80s. You can find it in the Dance genre, lower left hand corner of page 1.
In other news, Shashakiro has been hard at work re-syncing songs and fixing the dreaded red-note syndrome. Excited Hyper Highspeed Star and Balloon Fever received noteskin upgrades, while songs like Wish and others have had their syncing tweaked. Expect this to continue until all of the noteskinned songs are fixed. Do NOT expect any of the old non-noteskinned blue arrowed songs to be fixed in any way.
If you’d like to comment about Norgers, go here. If you’d like to show off your insane FFR skills and brag about your score on Norgers, go here.
Happy finger dancing,
Tasselfoot & his new buddies from North Stafford
PS – The Turkey God may have a special secret for everyone come Thanksgiving.
Song of the Week: Sensorium
Well, it’s Monday, which means it’s time for another Song of the Week! This week we give you Sensorium, by MerKa. Stepped by Jimerax, it’s a relatively slow song (under 140 BPM), but makes up for this with plenty of 16th stream and jumpstream, so it’s still a challenge. Sensorium can be found on the first page of Dance.
Happy FFR’ing,

Often times it may seem that we focus in on only a few of our top players. However, n3v3rl4nd pointed out that it would be a good idea if we make an effort to mention other top players at FFR and put their names up in lights.
We generally do our best to listen to your suggestions. Always feel free to comment and give us feedback. We will do our best to make sure that your ideas are taken into consideration for future enhancements.
As promised,

Song of the Week – 20031023 By DJ Sharpnel
As was mentioned, Shash & I (Tass) now have access to quickly upload new Songs of the Week. After a minor glitch this morning, we present you another excellent song from the collection of DJ Sharpnel (NSFW warning). 20031023 is upbeat and will prove to be a challenge to most players, although it is by far the easiest Sharpnel song on FFR. Stepped by Rebirth0, it is extremely fun and accurate to the song. You can find 20031023 on page 1 of Dance.
Note: Feel free to discuss in the forum as well – SotW – 20031023. (jk)
Have fun and happy finger dancing!
Cheers,

Straight to Round 4
EDIT: If you’re using Internet Explorer and having some trouble getting into multiplayer or getting scores recorded–it’s being worked on, please be patient 
Straight to Video, the MSI song that was accounced to be on FFR, has finally arrived! The steps are by Psychozerosk8er, it’s fairly long (3:44), and has a moderate difficulty level. Straight to Video can be found in the Rock section of FFR, and more information on MSI can be found in this news post.
Also (nice how these keep coinciding, eh), the fourth round of the FFR tournament has started–check this thread for details. The fourth round concludes the winners’ bracket for the Expert division, and will produce one finalist who will play the winner of the losers’ bracket.
Happy FFR’ing,
FFR Tournament Round 3 + Song of the Week
The third round of the tournament began two days ago–check this thread for which songs to play, matchups, and results from Round 2. If you’ve managed to make it to Round 3, don’t forget to submit by Wednesday, October 4th.
Also, the Song of the Week was released yesterday. This week’s song, Famouz, sets a record for being the shortest song ever added to FFR, at a mere 49 seconds in length–but with nearly 400 steps in that 49 seconds, it’s quite challenging, so don’t be fooled by the short length. The song is by Richee, an up and coming electro/rap artist who uses a unique blend of synthwork and sliced beats behind his lyrics to give his music a unique sound. He is currently attending college and working on his first album release. For more music by him, check out his official page at www.switchee.com. Famouz, stepped by Mead1, can be found in the Hip-Hop genre of FFR.
Tournament Round 2 and Song of the Week 2
The first round of the FFR R1 tournament is over, and Round 2 has begun! Check this thread to see the results and scores from Round 1, as well as the Round 2 songs and matchups for those who made it through the first round.
Also, this week will feature not one, but two new songs for FFR. The second song of the week will be Klung Kung 2004, which is already a Spin it Up song and will join the ranks of FFR songs tonight or tomorrow morning at the same time that Jelly Roll Blues is added.
Something besides “Cheers”,
Shashakiro
