You may have noticed that “digitalflood Pirate Radio Volume 6 Episode 5” isn’t out yet. That’s because this week has been the absolute week from Hell at work. I’ve come home every night completely tired and there is no way I was digging into mixing it. So, I’m taking this week off. I’ll be back next week with this episode and from there get things back on track, but for this week– yeah I need some quite time to relax. I’m sure you understand. The next episode will be out on 2/9/10.
Oh look... it's the Cyclades Mill in Greece, which I'm sure will come in handy to know about. Or not.
The biggest question on your mind has to be “When is digitalflood Pirate Radio Volume 6 Episode 5 going to be out?” I know it is. And even if it isn’t– I’m in denial and ergo it is. So there. The answer is probably tomorrow night. The live session is all recorded. It’s just got to be put through post-production and I have to be honest with you– there isn’t much needed. I’m either getting better at live mixing or getting less daring about doing stupid things while mixing. Maybe a bit of both. Either way, this one came together pretty fast. Without giving away too much about the show I’m pretty sure you’ll dig it (or at least 99% of you will… which is close enough for me).
Other than that I’ve just been so plain busy at work (a.k.a. my real job) there really hasn’t been much else going on. So it’s not that df.com isn’t happening– it’s just happening slower because I have some other pending priorities, which are as follows:
Fortunately I have been able to sneak family time in there so the wife and kids aren’t being neglected. No offense, but if it comes down to posting a blog or spending time with my daughters and wife– well the post isn’t happening. I’m sure you understand and I sure as Hell hope instead of checking out df.com you’d rather spend time with your family… or not… *ahem*… awkward!
Unfortunately there doesn't seem to be lots of random pics of Emperor Penguins on the Net. We can change that one blog post at time! (© Samuel Blanc - http://www.sblanc.com)
I spent some time over the last twenty four hours building out better menu sorting for the digitalflood Pirate Radio episodes that I think you’ll find quite the time saver. If you hover over the “Music” menu at the top of this page and then hover over “DF Pirate Radio Webcasts” you’ll see a new sub-menu shoot out that breaks down all of the episodes season by season. I know this is long overdue, but better late than never (as they say).
I’m still mulling over what I want to do for “digitalflood Pirate Radio Vol. 6 Episode 4”. I don’t have any guests setup for the show and MC Mary @ The Disco! is back on college hiatus (as she continues pursuing her degree in nursing) so it looks like another solo session. If any one is interested in being on let me know. You probably won’t be able to make this episode, but at least I can maybe get another show going at a later date with actual people on it. In the meantime, I’ve been dying to trying out some new tricks I learned online from some tutorial videos. I picked up a new technique for using the cross channel frequency mixer to blend songs together and maybe that’s what I’ll record either Sunday or Monday night. Release date is still to be decided, but I’m aiming for either this Tuesday (1/26/10) or Wednesday (1/27/10). More on that as things begin to gel and actual recording takes place.
I have to tell you, my search page referrer hits for shoulder surgery have taken off as of late. I’m getting tons of visitors coming across this site just from my weekly recovery logs and it has been a pleasant surprise. I apparently rank pretty high across the various search engines (Yahoo, Google, etc…) when it comes to shoulder surgery searches. My hope was when I began all of this recovery logging that it would both allow me to track my recovery, as well as, help others as they go through the struggle of recovering themselves. Judging from the hits and feedback that seems to be the case. So now we can say digitalflood.com is more than pure fluff– there’s some science and biology in there as well. Who would have thought that?
Due to some production delays I’ve pushed back the release of “digitalflood Pirate Radio Volume 6 Episode 3″until tomorrow night (1/20/10). I’m just over 30% into post production and there should be no issue getting it out by then. Sorry about that.
MC Mary @ The Disco's 21st Birthday Party - Come join us and be sure to buy her a drink!
In the proud line of digitalflood Parties, we proudly present our latest reason to drink, party, and be merry (with Mary might I add). Yes, MC Mary @ The Disco! is turning twenty one years old. That can only mean one thing: it’s time to throw a ridiculous party in her honor.
Here’s the info:
WHERE: GW’s Bar & Grill (Chester, NY)
WHEN: January 17, 2010 (Sunday)
WHAT TIME: 9 pm EST to 12 am EST
You must be twenty one years old to both enter and drink. Cover charges may apply. We reserve the right to eject anyone who acts like a douche (so don’t be that guy or girl please). Drinks are available at the full cash bar (as is food). A cover charge may apply (that’s up to the bar owner– not us) so bring some cash to cover that just in case.
It will be a great time for all. There will be tons of people, lots of good music (on the fully loaded digital jukebox), and enough embarrassing moments to make Bill Clinton blush.
Come join us for “Absolut Pimping @ The Disco!”. All I ask is that you kindly buy MC Mary a drink. To make things sweeter, I will be recording an on site digitalflood Pirate Radio that will be released later in the week (please keep in mind this may take me sometime to produce as I do have to recover from all this mayhem). If you need more info drop me a line and I’ll fill any gaps in for you. Hope you turn out and remember– drink responsibility. There is a hotel across the street (Holiday Inn Express) if you need a place to crash. It’s worth avoiding the DWI!
