Pork Isn’t Kosher

Cats - The Other White Meat

Cats - The Other White Meat

The counsel representing the US National Pork Board has served our Merchandise Shop producer CafePress with a cease and desist order for all our merchandise featuring the reference to “the other white meat”. As such, it looks like we will no longer be able to offer our “Cats: The Other White Meat” logo on printed clothing (told you to smoke them while you got them, but did you listen– no). This is disappointing considering my personal feeling is the logo is well within the domain of satire and fair usage, but it is what is.

Either, way it comes just in time as we’re about to refresh the df.com Merchandise Shop for the holidays over the course of the next 48 hours. Look for that soon enough featuring new df.com art and branded items.

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone once again and I hope you get to enjoy your time with your friends and family.

Remember, just a little over 24 hours until Pirate Radio starts again!

Happy Thanksgiving from the Year 1900!

Happy Thanksgiving from the Year 1900!

As I write this post, I am listening to the final mixed version of “digitalflood Pirate Radio Volume 5 Episode 2” starring myself and my special guest co-host Reverend Damian Baker. It sounds absolutely fabulous and I’m absolutely stoked to get his one to you. I will salivate your palette a little and let you know this episode is a double size one hour and forty two minutes in total length. Yes, we’re talking over an hour and half of Pirate Radio goodness. The art work for the episode (which prior viewers know every episode gets a graphic) is also done. We’re absolutely 100% ready for a 11/28/09 release. This is happening without a doubt at this point.

I’m also happy to report that I believe I’ve lined up a guest for “Vol. 5 Episode 3”. We should be recording this Saturday and if it all goes right I’ll let you know.

Production this year was done a little different. Late in Volume 4 we changed how we recorded the episodes to speed recording up for the guests and to also make the final product more polished. I think you’ll notice the difference.

Finally, tomorrow in Warwick, NY we’ll be celebrating Thanksgiving Eve and the return of Pirate Radio around the various bars/pubs in the Village of Warwick, NY. We should be starting the party at The Blarney Station around 7:30 pm. If you’re in the area be sure to be on the watch out for us and to take the time to grab a pint with us.

If I don’t get a chance to talk to you in between now and Thanksgiving I want to be sure to wish all my viewers, as well as, friends and family a wonderful Thanksgiving. We really do appreciate all your patience and thank you for sticking with us through all the ups and downs. We are truly thankful for our friends, family, and fans. Your are nothing short of wonderful. Be safe and enjoy the holiday.

Running On Schedule

Last night Reverend Baker and I recorded “Vol. 5 Episode 2” of digitalflood Pirate Radio. I’ll now be taking those audio sessions into post-production and mixing the final show over the course of the next 72 hours. We’re 100% right on schedule for the 11/28/09 release of this episode of Pirate Radio. I’m pretty stoked. Things went exceptionally well despite me dislocating my left shoulder just before recording was to begin. That’s a long story and one I’ll get to later in the week during my normal shoulder update, but it looks like my other shoulder (the one that wasn’t operated on) is wearing away quickly under the added burden of being my primary arm. It’s back in the socket albeit sore. I’m hoping (and it seems to hold true thus far) that my right arm will continue to improve and be able to slowly, but surely alleviate the burden being placed on my non-dominate hand and arm. Back to Pirate Radio though, like I said things went swimmingly and I cannot wait until you hear how this one sounds. It’s absolutely hilarious and I’m sure if you’ve enjoyed our past work you’ll love this one as well.

I have to admit it was strange not having M’Weezy around during the session (as you’ll hear, she’s rather busy in college right now); but all things said if I had to start the season one man down there’s no one who could better handle that added pressure than Reverend Baker. Again, it’s absolutely hilarious and the music selection is going to completely blow you mind.

Green light means go!

Green light means go!

The multimedia audio production applications are all updated and confirmed functional. The workstation is prepped. We are a go for recording to begin this evening on the first new digitalflood Pirate Radio in the last ten months. Reverend Baker will be here at my house in less than seven hours. It all happens from there. I plan on following up on Vol. 5 Episode 2 with at least two mix sessions, which judging from the very frequent plays we get on them are extremely popular with you the viewer. Since October 5, 2009 (the launch of df.com version 11) the following Pirate Radio shows form our top five by listens/downloads:

  1. “The Milwaukee’s Best Session (Vol. 4 Ep. 1)”
  2. “Fight Piracy With Piracy (Vol. 1 Ep. 5)”
  3. “The Palindrome Mix (Vol. 1 Ep. 4)”
  4. “The Seance Sessions (Vol. 4 Ep. 3)”
  5. “Fitty Brap @ The Disco! (Vol. 2 Ep. 7)”

Feel free to familiarize yourself with those gems if you have not already and if you have– give them a listen again. You never know what you’ll find hidden in the background of a conversation or a sample that you say “Hey, I know where that’s from”.

My plan for this year is to up the ante on both our production value and overall presentation. You’ll notice improvements on audio quality and overall content. As always, we’ll be hitting you with the hardest beats and the most off the wall humor possible. All in the name of entertainment for you the viewer/listener.

Thank you as always for taking the ride with us. We hope you enjoy it as much as we do making it.
