Fireworks and Football... sweeeeeeeeeet.

Literally just in minutes ago, my Yahoo! Fantasy Football team the Rhode Island Rabbits are going to my league’s Super Bowl! I managed to pull off a one point win in the semi-final championship game (102.34 to 101.68) against Really Da Really during the last eight minutes of the NY Giants game. This puts me up against my arch-nemesis 5YardsOut who just won 116.42 to 111.88 against the Brooklyn Dodgers. 5YardsOut is a tough team, but you can be sure I’m going to try to pull every trick out of the bag to win this one. This is for all the carrots!

I’m sporting a 11-4 record for the entire year and going on eight straight wins so I’ve got momentum on my side. This is pretty exciting as this is the first time in the last three years I’ve been playing fantasy sports that I’m actually headed into a final championship match.

All will be said and done in one week when the points are tallied and only one team is left standing. Here’s hoping it’s mine.

DF Pirate Radio – “flAnneljAm: After Dark”

Title: Vol. 5 Episode 5 (Click link to play) Rel: 12/21/09
Description: “flAnneljAm: After Dark” – Back in 1996 DJ digitalflood launched his public broadcast career on SUNY Orange’s WOCC 530 AM radio station. The world was not quite ready for it. Back then DJ digitalflood went by the DJ alias of flAnnelmAn. It was a salute to his alternative grunge loving music roots. DJ digitalflood was a huge fan of the alternative and underground college music scene. He religiously wore a flannel shirt every day. His hair was ridiculously long. He didn’t buy his shirts in the mall. And he wore khakis pants long before they ever appeared in a Gap commercial. Needless to say, he did not necessarily fit into mid-90s Orange County, NY college culture. Nevertheless, his lunchtime hour long show “The flAnneljAm” became a cult favorite amongst the student body. His off kilter wit and fearless self depreciating humor made even the most musically dull student interested in what he’d say next. So while he had their attention he made sure to slowly bore into their minds by subjecting them to the hardest underground metal and hard rock.

It’s been a long time since 1996. Over a decade, if you dare count up the years. The question DJ digitalflood couldn’t let go of is– what if he had all the skills and technology of 2009 back in 1996? What would the “flAnneljAm” sound like then? Well, you could be a jerk and point out that since the flAnneljAm evolved into digitalflood Pirate Radio it’d sound exactly like every other episode of Pirate Radio, but let’s not be a douche like that. Let’s pretend that it didn’t. And if you can for one second pretend that far then you can also pretend it’s 1996 and this is the flAnneljAm… even if it’s Pirate Radio… which (yes) is one and the same… *ahem*

This episode is chalked full of alternative metal, grunge, and underground indie music from circa the early 90s. It reads like the who’s who of the scene before the scene. You may not recognize every song, but you’re sure to recognize every artist even if at that point nobody aside from the guy at the turntable knew who they were. It’s history brother man. Pure history.
