DF.com Returns to MySpace

All of three years ago we had a digitalflood Pirate Radio profile in the MySpace.com Music section. We had over 14,000 friends. We were routinely the number one band by views within a 20 mile radius of Warwick, NY. We had some 500 views per day of our profile. In short, we ran the joint.

The problem was MySpace was in its Golden era and unable to deal with all the traffic on the site. As such, they began hunting down the highest viewed pages that weren’t on a major label and weren’t part of MySpace Tom’s clique. With that, we were targeted, terminated, and told we violated copyright law.

Well, the gold rush is over and so are the witch hunts on MySpace. With that we have launched a brand new profile on MySpace Music and we are once again ready to run the joint. Let’s do this thing.

The new profile can be found at: http://www.myspace.com/djdigitalflood

Shameless Promotion: New Casket Architects CD

Casket Architects "Future Wounds" CDThis past weekend the Casket Architects released their new CD “Future Wounds” to much accolades during their CD release party at the Tuscan Cafe in Warwick, NY. I’m not one to pimp out the “scene” any longer (cause frankly the scene died about ten years ago a fiery painful and much under documented death), but it is noteworthy for a few reasons:

1. They are arguably one of the best live bands from Orange County, NY actively performing (if not THE best).

2. They are a sonic mind trip and a half– listening to their first two albums (“Dance on the Death Nerve” and “Skull Persuasion”) was like some sick late night mash up of Skinny Puppy and Napalm Death… this album takes it another step further.

3. There are few truly creative bands out there. Casket Architects manages to really cross musical boundaries, do something original, and be pretty darn melodic without being a Pop sell out in any sense. We call that “win-win-win”.

I’m not close with the band (so there’s no incentive for me to give props) though Skow admittedly knows them, but he didn’t ask me to pimp them either. I just feel they deserve the shout out and if you like digitalflood’s stuff it’s certainly worth checking out their new CD (which can conveniently be purchased through their new Merch shop).

Give it a listen and drop back to let me know what you think. You can (even maybe more conveniently) find the Casket Architects featured in the digitalflood Pirate Radio “Palindrome Remix” episode if you want a sneak peak at their earlier work. You can also listen to Skow and I babble about nonsensical metal ramblings, as well as, food during that same episode in case you’re into that sort of thing.

Classic DF – 5/30/02

May 30, 2002: [•] As predicted by our elite team of psychic martial arts trained super-monkies the Village of Warwick, NY has decided to no longer work with CVS as far as allowing them to put a store up though CVS has agreed to their village’s proposal to include a supermarket in their proposed structure. The Village will now condemn the property, own it with their greedy little hands, and sell it to a grocer of their choice. All of this for “the good of the people”. Fortunately, people are starting to pick up on this and are asking who are Village politicians really protecting? Hint: The answer is themselves! [•] I love you wife, daughter, and cats! [•] Immy, I demand you immediately pull down any link showing Kenni naked! For those of you not in the know, the first time I saw a picture of Kenni she was fully clothed and the picture only showed her shoulders up. Nevertheless, I ran screaming up my street praying for a quick painful death that would result in the hideous image being ripped from my central nervous system completely. No amount of kerosene and matches can remove that day from my mind. Thanks Immy! 🙂 [•] I watched the “official” end of the WTC cleanup this morning. It was pretty sobering. It made all my little personal problems seem insignificant. Life goes on though, indeed.
