    Owl City Song Permission (sort of)

    So I don't know if you guys have heard of Owl City, but it's this one guy who does nice electronica and singing and stuff.

    I emailed his rep and got this:

    Hi Macklin,

    Thanks for reaching out about using Owl City as part of the FFR game site. Due to our corporate audio policy, without an official deal with UMG, we would only be able to use 4 songs per artist, and only with 90 second clips.

    If this would still work for you, we can definitely make that happen. Let me know if you're still interested.

    Best,

    Jessica

    I already stepped one song, Dear Vienna, and submitted it, so I'm letting you guys know that you can step 3 more 90 second clips, if you want.

      90 seconds is.... pretty short for songs. A bit too short for these kind.

      I know, i'll go send an email to UMG right now.

      I AM ASHAMED OF MY STUPIDITY AND MUST COMMIT SEPPUKU. FORGIVE ME, FFR.

              90 seconds is cool since im tired of playing long ass songs and i prefer stepping shorter ones 8)

              link to the 3 other step worthy songs would be cool

                  I was saying the same thing, everytime I have to play some 4min lame alternative rock/techno song, and that gets old.

                  It's better than nothing

                  The Saltwater Room:
                  Could have good parts, like right before the girl comes in and after, idk.
                  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=usR7mMHUhlY


                  Designer Skyline:
                  I see this as a nice slow easier song, maybe some medium streams or something, it has fast kind of "break-like" bursts every now and again like in the beginning.

                  Rainbow Veins:
                  I also see this as a slow easy song
                  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2EsMHFXdLxI&feature=related


                  Hello Seattle:
                  This one would be good too, it has nice fast break beat parts
                  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_VlK2BOhmvU


                  but of course if you find any more that you think would be better, please, feel free to step those, I want to use up all 4 of the allotted songs.

                      Argh, can't see those videos due to copyright restrictions.

                                  I'd step Fireflies in a heartbeat if we weren't limited to 90 second clips.
