ElectroShock You 3oh!3 Style
So here we are on thursday and as I promised to all of you, I have a high-resolution exclusive of the new 3oh!3 video “ElectroShock”.
I have to admit that the first time I heard of 3oh!3 I wasn’t quite sure to expect. But.. After digging into their past and present, countless videos on youtube and incredible lineup of tracks, I found a group that really hit home with me in a twisted pop, nostalgic, hip-hop, modern, retro, punk, gangster and mustache kind of way. (I promise, no more commas).
Below you will find a high resolution player for the Electroshock video directed by the brilliant Isaac Ravishankara. You can find the 3oh!3 FFR widget here and the 3oh!3 myspace page over here.

Kick Your Bodom
Up until now we have generally considered the widget players a more fragile and noob type of player (which they are!). We think it is time to start stepping it up a bit and create a widget that has nothing but challenging levels.
What kind of of music did we pick for this difficult genre? Metal of course. What band? Children of Bodom.
And as an exclusive to FFR, we have received the full resolution version of BloodDrunk. We have embedded it here in this news story and you can switch to fullscreen by clicking the fullscreen button in the bottom right corner of the video embed. Read more… »
Everyone Gets Presents on Tass’s Birthday!
Just like last year, I’ve decided to give some gifts to everyone in honor of my birthday. I’ve added 4 new songs into FFR, in 4 different genres:
Pavlov’s Dog is by artist Jon Brownell, stepfile by Vote4Nixon. Fairly straight forward techno song that I’ve rated a low 7. It has 1 section of 4-note mini-trills that makes it a 7, along with a few 24th rolls, instead of a 6. It is located in the front of Dance.
Over the Frail Dream is a fairly well known StepMania song by Phantasma. For FFR, it is stepped by SulferDragon and has some 200bpm stream, but not much. Mostly 8th notes. I’ve rated it a 9. I’m aware it’s a 10 with framer issues, but I’m assuming down the road that that fix will be public, so I’m starting to rate based on that assumption. It is in the front of Dance2.
Dishwater is a highly amusing (although somewhat profane) “rap” by Futuristic Sex Robotz. I wouldn’t quite call it nerdcore, but it’s similar.  Stepfile is by dore. 75bpm 16ths brings this file in at a 5. You can find it in the beginning of Hip-Hop.
Also added is Rise Against’s Survive, stepped by bluguerrilla.  Very cool song, although it is in that “emo” MySpace genre that I know you all love so much. I rated it a 10, but I’m willing to discuss making it a 9. Located in the front of Rock.
For the subscribers, I’ll have new stuff on Sunday. There should also be other subscriber songs that became public today… Kirby’s Dream Land. Currently in Funk, but I will finally be moving all those out soon. Also, Synth’s contest will be up… but who knows when.

For more information and to download some free full mp3′s from the album, visit the album page.
So keep sitting on your asses and buy his new album!
Digital (mp3 or flac) $4.99 | Disc $14.99(free shipping) direct from SGX

iTunes
Also expect more from SGX within FFR in the coming months.

Mika Mika Mika
I only have one question… Why has it taken FFR this long to find the music of Mika? Take a look not only at the outpouring of supportive comments but also the interesting take on his fresh electronic and pop sound that has been missing from FFR for some time..
Mika fills a certain void on FFR. His classic tracks like “Lollipop” very much remind me of the old DDR j-pop tracks. There is no denying the fun of this music and while they may only be widget based now, you can bet we are going to pull newer and harder versions into the game for you to conquer as soon as I can get Rebirth started on them this afternoon.
I am going to plug Mika here because I think he deserves our support. Please help me in leading an FFR invasion of his myspace to show our support. Feel free to leave comments stating you are from FFR. The image below will lead directly to his myspace page where you can check out his newest music, videos etc. LET THE INVASION BEGIN! (aka click on that huge image below. It is only a direct link to his myspace)
Enjoy!
Cheers,
Synthlight + Scouting for new music
Credits Maintenance
*Edit* – Credit gone Un-Wild. Maintenance is all finished for tonight.

More new subscriber features!
Xelius is hard at work, as always, to bring to life everyone’s ideas. The newest feature on the subscriber version of the game is merely a letter… but it is so much more. In the upper left hand corner, next to the Quality Q is a Song Selection S. If you click on the S, it will bring up a giant scrollable list of all songs in FFR… each one playable via a single click. Currently, the songs are listed in reverse order by reverse genre (hardest songs in Misc first, easiest songs in Dance last). This will be resolved tomorrow, but we couldn’t wait to get this feature live for everyone to test out.
And for everyone else, we understand you’re getting jealous. Do not fear! Many of these feature will become public in the very near future.
