Dashboard Confessional is Onboard

Posted in Embeddable Widgets, Flash Flash Revolution on November 17th, 2007

As the realm of FFR artists expands, we are continually amazed by the bands that are stepping in and giving us permission for both the widgets and the game. To say the least, I was nearly knocked out of my chair when Dashboard Confessional was confirmed by their label Vagrant Records. Definitely a fantastic addition here. I will keep this short because I know you all know who Dashboard Confessional is. Enjoy the easy levels and fear not, difficult levels are right around the corner. I will post an update link when the widget goes live on the Dashboard myspace page.

Pickup the FFR Dashboard Confessional widget if you would enjoy showing off to your friends.

Cheers,

Synthlight + Secret Magical Elf Helpers

  4. yah k

  5. cooL cooL

  6. Good band! Kickass.

  7. I don’t wanna sound stupid or anything…but I don’t know who Dashboard Confessional is. xD

  8. ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww did you have to bring every single emo/scene kid to ffr? Did ya freakin have to???

  9. 9th!!!!

    Awesome

  10. So ShAiOnEi are you also going to complain about the Mary J Blige permission? Are you saying that we need to cater ONLY to the genre that you like? We really need to think about the wider population here at FFR. There is a reason we support so many genres, hell, our game is organized into genres. I just ask that you be fair about it and realize that everyone likes a different type of music.

  11. Dashboard Confessional comes to ffr lol

  12. sorry for double post but Synthlight and his magical little elves i loled at that

  13. ^___^

  14. Synth I just didn’t like the idea of bringing so many of these scene/emo bands into the community. But it’s you’re website and it’s your choice to bring in more traffic here so I guess if this is what you had to do..alright but as long as you could maybe balance it out with some good metal. Although it’s really hard to get permissions I could actually get some good bands for FFR. I’m not trying to tell you to cater to bands I like, just actually maybe go into different music that isn’t mainstream pop culture.

  15. Shai, if you look through the widget lists, you will see all kinds of metal bands. We are working directly with Metalblade records to provide all kinds of new metal artists.

    Cheers,

  16. You can see when Synth’s really pissed, he forgots to add the cheers in the end lol!

  17. Wouldn’t it be nice to have a “Number of views” on our recorded songs? =)

  18. wow dashboard

  19. Na, I wasn’t pissed. I just tend to be someone who thinks that everyone should be open to all kinds of music. I am definitely not upset at Shai. If we all thought alike, it would be a boring.

    sns, we will be adding all kinds of new features to the playback section this week including myspace embed links, comments on playback, directly URL for playback and much more. In the meantime I will try and keep public testing for the record portion on as much as possible.

    Cheers,

    Synthlight

  20. PLEASE SOMEONE, step the non-acoustic version of Hands Down. Gah, that’d be AMAZING…

    And make it Challenging+
    xD

  21. i agree with Synth on this one.

    Thats why i dont play Guitar Hero. its ONLY catered to one type of genre and personally, i dont like many guitar solo songs(Dragonforce is the exception of course)

    Thats why i LOVE FFR

    techno, trance, dance, happy hardcore, classic songs

    i love the variety and with more permissions comming, that means EVEN MORE songs in different genres

    keep doin ya thing synth <3

  22. electricwerewolf needs to start making better sims

  23. Get DragonFORCE lol

  24. Yeah…well, I don’t know who these people are. Anyway…With new genres of music comes more songs that some people absolutely despise. Some people worry about their average rank, and guess what? Those people, unfortunately, have to deal with playing songs they hate in order to get up in ranks…I dunno if that is fair :\

    Idea: Make average ranks for each genre. For example on your profile it will have Dance2: (avg rank here), Dance: (avg rank here), Hip-Hop: (avg rank here), etc. That would make more people happy :)

  25. yes i hear u genocide we all really want Dragonforce on ffr

  26. I haven’t heard of anyone on ffr before I heard it here, except perhaps Mary J Blige, but that’s only a name, not a song. That and Mannheim Steamroller (everyone knows at least one of their songs.)

    Please avoid Dragonforce at all costs. That’s what Guitar Hero 3 is for.

    The Funk category needs some beefing up (Bela Fleck!), as does hip-hop. Rock is getting insane. I have no idea where songs are anymore. Ideally, we get R3 out with a better gui to select songs.

  27. :O

  28. Heh, I like when Synth gets involved in the convos, makes me feel his connection to the FFR community.

    Thumbs way up :)

  29. I actually agree. We have a little too many emo/punk/metal bands and not enough classic! but then again that would be hard to get :P

    I love this song though..

  30. When you guys voice your opinions on genre’s and artists, I listen. If I hear enough people say Dragonforce, I will go after the rights to promote them with FFR. At the same time though, I will try and create balance by going after Mannheim Steamroller or Mary J Blige.

    If you guys want to take this opp to vote on an artist, I will do what I can to hook us up with them. Voice your opinions. Help me do my job better for you guys.

    Cheers,

    Synthlight

  31. B-52′s! U2! Pillar! Family Force 5! AeroSmith! 3 Doors Down!

    Of course alot of these will be hard to get :P

    I think family force 5 wouldn’t be too hard though, nice myspace band

  32. you should try to get The Fully Down or the faint.

  33. Synth, Bouncing Souls. I know Tass said their name at some point as a possibility but nothing was done. I want the mother-effing Bouncing Souls. And how about NoFX? I’ll even step The Decline (17:18 punk rock symphony lol)

  34. Synth/ I think you did a nice job on this game! i like the inprovments!

  35. Thanks man. But it’s really not just me. There are so many people that take part in what FFR accomplishes each day.

    Cheers,

    Synthlight

  37. Get stuffed, there is no way you got Dashboard on FFR.

    This site is gaining momentum it seems.

    Oh and anyone who complains about new/more music on FFR are spoilt little brats who should be glad the game is expanding. The more artists FFR getson board the more likely FFR can get the artsits they want.

  38. Chaz: we have permission for 2 Bouncing Souls albums. their label sent me the CDs months and months ago. But when I tried to get back in touch with them again, never heard back.

  39. which albums? Please tell me you have How I Spent My Summer Vacation

  40. Sweet, we got Dashboard Confessional!

  41. Synth…

    I really love Nightwish (its too bad I missed their concert here in dallas last week), please try to get the rights for their songs. They are my 1000% all time favorite band, and they ROCK! Please, please…..

  42. Oh an (sry for dp) SYNTH you do allot for this game, as do everyone else, but you all RICK (ROCK LOL)!

  43. i for one believe you guys have done a great job in balancing the genres. Keep it up.. FFR is moving in a really great direction. i suppose the only type of music i haven’t seen is real punk. Only pop/punk (or am i mistaken?) Go for some TSOL or something.. anything, anyone.

    P.S. Dragonforce would definitely be cool :]

  44. lol Evanescence.

  45. DRAGONFORCE!!

  46. 3 Days Grace would be nice too xD

  47. These are some sinful permissions you guys have gotten lately.

    Due peace,
    ~Ravia~

  48. http://www.myspace.com/nightcore

    We need them if we don’t have em already. Nightcore owns.

  49. what happened to the techno days :(

  50. :-) my favorite band ever!!!!!! more emo please!

  51. i think synth should try to get hollywood undead :)

  52. lol yah dragonforce :)
