DF Pirate Radio – Cliffnotes (2005 Season)

Cliff Notes – 2005 Season

* DJ Digitalflood (aka Chris Welch) originally started his broadcast career with underground taped radio shows featuring himself and his brother recorded during the early 90s. Arguably it stands as one of the worst amateur radio shows of its time.

* DJ Digitalflood started his semi-professional career as a DJ while attending SUNY Orange between 1996 and 1999. During that time he appeared daily on WOCC Radio (530 AM Middletown, NY) under the moniker flAnnelmAn. His luncheon hour show was called “The flAnneljAm”.

* DJ Digitalflood became the Vice President of WOCC Radio in the Fall Semester of 1999. By the end of the semester the college administration had closed the radio station down citing inappropriate behavior and safety concerns. True story… unfortunately.

* In real life, MC Mary @ The Disco! is really DJ Digitalflood’s sister (though she may deny it when asked).

* Volume 1 and 2 were recorded in DJ Digitalflood’s bedroom while living at his Mom’s house.

* All voice takes with the exception of two incidents were recorded in one take. All were unedited in their final form.

* Groucho is really DJ Digitalflood’s cat. He really does attack the recording equipment several times over the course of Volume 1 and 2.

* Pirate Radio is recorded with the same computer and software listed in DJ Digitalflood’s Bio in a similar manner that Digitalflood music tracks are produced.

* Commonly with guests came their “posses”. This created ad hoc studio audiences of four or five other people during recording.

* DJ Digitalflood’s daughter in real life is Georgette @ The Disco. She was four years old during the recording of the Volume 1 season.

* Georgette @ The Disco does really bite DJ Digitalflood during Vol. 1 Episode 9.

* Contrary to popular belief MC Mary @ The Disco! was not truly “Robo-Tripping” during the Christmas Episode (Vol. 1 Episodes 11 and 12). She is a really good actor though.

* DJ SlipK recorded several episodes of his own web cast, which can still be found on the Net if you search hard enough.

* Volume 1 Episode 6 was one of a few times where DJ Digitalflood had four 16 year old girls in his bed… Before you call the police– he himself was not in the bed at any time. He was way across the room manning the recording equipment. It does make a great joke though. Gotcha!

* Jeff of course really did know he was on a Pirate Radio show (Vol. 1 Episode 5) and appears several times over the course of Volume 1 and 2 as Hulk Hogan.

* Macho Man Randy Savage is really voiced by Skow.

* Having a four year old around (DJ Georgette @ The Disco!) forced the radio team to rethink how it did its comedy. The result was more in the line of thought out jokes and resulted in some of the more complex humor.

* An average Pirate Radio show took two hours to record, but required about an hour of prep time along with an average of four hours of post-production to make a 60 minute show. The pre and post production work was performed solely by DJ Digitalflood.

* Shows were recorded 24 hours before their release date.

* At its peak in late 2005, Pirate Radio has close to 100 weekly listeners.

DF Pirate Radio – “Fight Piracy With Piracy”

Title: Vol. 1 Episode 5 (Click Link to Play) Rel: 11/14/05
Description: Jeff stops in to let DJ Digitalflood and MC Mary @ The Disco! know about the dangers of pirate radio broadcasts on the Internet. Specifically, how illegal webcasts hurt royalties to fat cat artists and record companies. Needless to say, Jeff wasn’t exactly told what DF Pirate Radio was about. Along the way Hulk Hogan stops in for the Hell of it. And by the end everybody is happy (more or less) including Jeff… mostly because he still doesn’t know he was on Pirate Radio. Ignorance truly is bliss.

Classic DF – 12/3/02

December 03, 2002: [β€’] I love mysterious web sites with only a graphic teasing you as to its true meaning and besides anything by Broken is cool. So with that I give you BrokenFilms! Whahoo! [β€’] Yep, it’s Tuesday and thus I bring you my WWE RAW! weekly bitching. As usual Immy‘s house hosted our little wrestling gathering which included Verona, MG, Rider666 (or the artist formerly know as Thundercat), Mermaid, and Skyler. Honestly there was so much going on conversation-wise in the room I really didn’t watch too much of the show. The commentary and interpersonal interaction were much more interesting than some little wrestling show could muster. Nevertheless using my Miss Cleo-like powers from the dark side of the spoon I have telepathically siphoned the images of wrestlers long gone to give me some insight into a show I never watched. I think this is also how they do the Neilsen ratings judging by the success of Friends and Survivor because God knows real human beings wouldn’t ever watch that sort of crap. Anyhow here we go: The Dudley Boyz had a great match with 2:30 Warning (Rico still isn’t big enough to be a whole minute). The Dudleys won, but were severely beat down by 2:30 and Those Evil Canadians. Did I mention that Canadians are evil? Well, going by wrestling they are. Very evil. The Samoans too. Not to mention ministers, rock stars, and ex-ECW wrestlers. All evil. But I digress, the match was good so it gets an 8 out of 10 (and they hit Devon Dudley over the head with a chair while he was lying face down on another chair… pure chair smacking genius). I don’t remember too much of Trish Stratus verses Ivory. They both looked good. They fought (I think). I think that Victoria came down and attacked Trish. I don’t know anymore. All the girls look alike nowadays in wrestling anyhow. It gets a 9 because there were lots of boobs nevertheless. William Regal with Lance Storm took on Jeff Hardy and Tommy Dreamer. We’re all sure Jeff is gay. He flies gay. He jumps gay. He raped Lance’s ass and that was really gay. At that point I lost consciousness and passed out due to the amount of gayness. I awoke to find Tommy Dreamer swinging a large stick at everyone and almost hitting Jeff by accident. Plus, Dreamer was bleeding. SHIT! The match got exciting and I passed out! Well, I’ll give it the benefit of the doubt and give it a 7 based on gay rape with bloody noses being an “in thing” to do today. Batista decided to walk on down to the ring to fight the Hurricane for whatever reason. I think Batista’s belly button is possibly even gayer than Lance’s ass raping, but I’m still deep in thought over that debate. In the meantime I plan to ignore both and pretend it never happened (much like waking up this morning in general). I’m not sure what happened. Verona had to go home and I needed sleep. So I’ll make something up. WWE.com says that Batista won so I’m going to say that Batista simply discovered that Hurricane’s secret weakness was stupid looking tattoos. Batista being covered in stupid looking tattoos won no problem. Case closed. Oh yeah, Ric Flair is hanging out with Batista. Why? Ummm… let’s see. Oh yeah here’s why– The glass ceiling returned courtesy of HHH. His throat got crushed so he sounded funny. I laughed at him. Not because he sounded funny, but because he still looks funny too. He’s got a big nose! HAH! Actually with the big nose and the raspy voice HHH is starting to bear a strange resemblance to a steroid loving Gonzo. I wonder how much longer it will be until he dies his balding head blue. Not long my friends. Not long indeed. Bring in the chickens!

Classic DF – 12/3/99

Dec. 3, 1999: Noteworthy News: NASA has landed on Mars with a space craft that will “hear” what Mars sounds like… sort of. A promising new drug seems to eliminate leukemia, a big step towards eradicating cancer. A new cookie “hole” has been found in e-mail. The Free PC movement has flopped on its face. Chanukah starts at sun down this evening. EarthLink has a hole in its software. Germany may ban Windows 2000, but not due to monopoly problems… we’re talking religion here. Keep an eye on the stock market… it just capped 11, 000 plus as the NASDAQ continues to soar. Look for an early pull out around Christmas (no pun intended) and another normalization period… maybe πŸ™‚ That’s if Y2K doesn’t obliterate us, LOL. DF 10990 News: Marlin’s Place features a response to yesterday’s post… big surprise. And as predicted (maybe I’m physic too) he denied everything and got pissy. Of course, innocent people don’t get pissy, but then again he may not be exactly innocent after all, hmmmmm. The lesson to be learned Sam: don’t open your big fucking mouth if you don’t have anything interesting to say (BTW I didn’t say anything to anyone… however, I forgot you trust the whore who screwed you over again and again over the people who had your back while she was doing it). Mervernation makes sense of the the whole auto industry trend towards rice burners and ummmm… he’s right. Melissa defends me over on her news page, but more importantly she has been sober for over seven months today. Once again I’m proud of her and love her with all my heart πŸ™‚ Rock‘s web page is still down, but you got to dig that white on white motif! Speaking of Rock and his server I’ve come to a conclusion. I’m ready to make a public statement on DF’s opinion on Jeph.Net‘s future. In recent days Tom has added his Korpios.Net. I see he has moved his stuff around. Undoubtedly, rumors have been flying that he is mad at Marlin and Red Raven for attempting to oust him. Jeff has let me know that Tom is a necessity to this web page’s continued service. Immortalis asked me if I was backing Tom the other day. So here is the response: I’m backing DF.com. It’s Jeff’s server so I leave it to Jeff to make the decision on what to do. Either way the virtual domain for azazel.digitalflood.com won’t get registered. And frankly almost every person has become as trust worthy as another with a few exceptions (you know who you are). I only wish that Immy’s web page was restored… and one day I hope that will come to pass. Clearly now the enemy is not one person. Nor is it one side, but multiple fragmented fights. I grow tired of the infighting. The hate mail. The eggs on my car (Jesus can’t you people grow up?). The accusations. The stupid posts back and forth. The dumb ass opinions of a bunch of ummmmm…. dumb ass opinion people πŸ™‚ I’d rather focus on my marriage, my wife, my family, and my job then on them. So I will continue to work on a revamped DF.com Portal. I will continue to develop a new interface. And yes, I will continue to decimate the news to the masses that matters. BTW Tom… I got dibs on Warwick 10990… hell, I coined the phrase… And that is what I will continue to do… piss everyone off! Stay tuned for our next post when in our upcoming holiday post Mel and I will be conquering a small third world country…
