Back to the Future in The Past

Christmas tree at Rockefeller Plaza, New York, 2006

Christmas tree at Rockefeller Plaza, New York, 2006.

Yesterday evening into early this morning MC Mary @ The Disco! and I recorded digitalflood Pirate Radio Volume 5 Episode 6 (The Christmas Episode). Production will start on Sunday night and I expect to have it out for this Monday (12/28) evening. The show is pretty much out of control and I think you’ll find it as amusing to listen to as we did while recording it. The music selection is top notch and in the vein of the Holiday Spirit. I think you’ll enjoy the final product. It looks like this show will be the last episode of the year.

I do have good news though– Volume 6 Episode 1 is already in the planning stages for a 1/4/10 release. This will be our annual Top Ten Worst Songs of the Year show. And if that wasn’t enough– Volume 6 Episode 2, which will come out on 1/12/10 and will feature none other than DJ A.D.D. who has promised to bring with him some of the rarest tunes he can dig up. So 2010 is shaping up to be another stellar year of Pirate Radio already.

I had a wonderful time with my family today. We did our annual Christmas Dinner. A good time was had by all.

Tomorrow evening of course is “digitalflood Party 2009: Holiday Shenanigans”. You can check out the invite here. We hope to see you there.

I’ll get right into it– digitalflood Pirate Radio Volume 5 Episode 4 has been done for over 48 hours. I’m listening to it for like the fourth time and it continues to just absolutely grow on me. You will get a chance to hear it come this evening just a bit after midnight. Yes, 12/19/09 is go day for this our latest chapter in Pirate Radio perfection. I plan on working this evening on Volume 5 Episode 5 and the planned release day is 12/21/09 for that show.

This evening I did some web engine upgrades that are making the site perkier than ever. This included updating to the latest WordPress (2.9) and getting the plug in’s up to date as well. This puts digitalflood.com at code version 11.2.0 (Final). I’ve already begun contemplating what I’m going to do for df.com version 12 (ETA first part of 2010). I plan on keeping with WordPress as I absolutely love it. I will most likely move to an upgraded Linux CentOS server though because web traffic just keeps growing faster and faster. I’ve been reviewing several site lay out options in rough format so far, but no serious development work is going yet. I’m still pretty early in the “Concept Stage” of this project. Stay tuned for more updates as I move into actual production on version 12 of the site.

A while back I talked about DJ A.D.D. working on his own web project. He’s finally gone public beta with the site. You can check it out at: http://www.soapboxnation.com/. The site is absolutely addicting and a great concept. Basically it’s a public sound off forum where you can rant and rave about anything you want. We all love to argue (and even love it more when we’re right) so there’s no doubt this will catch on. Head on over. Sign up for an account and get raving. You’ll find me on the site as “digitalflood”.

Finally, congratulations to my friend Little Keith on the birth of Little Landon. Best wishes to you and your family!

DF Pirate Radio – “The NJ Invasion (Part II)”

Title: Vol. 2 Episode 9 (Click Link to Play) Rel: 02/27/06
Description: DJ A.D.D. comes on by and shares his first mix. The first person who named all the songs in the mix won a free pint of beer at the pub. We don’t exactly recall who that was, but it’s not really important. The important part is during the recording of this episode no animals were harmed. Ironically, DJ A.D.D. won a contest on DF Pirate Radio during the 2005 season where listeners were asked to count the number of times DJ Digitalflood said “indeed” and “absolutely”. A.D.D. did eventually get that pint– though it was well into 2007. Talk about a dead beat. MC Mary @ The Disco! recounts being punched in the face at an Emo show. Good times. Good times.
