DFO Radio: 8-10-15

What a weekend!  Thanks to Awful Announcing, it looks like we’ve got a ton of new faces around here, so I’ll say it once more: WELCOME!  We’re hoping to keep the spirit of dick jokes alive – we’ll continue to deal with real life problems like the ones the NFL faces every day, but we’ll also be doing the opposite, getting into far-out situations involving robots and magic powers.  To wit, I’m excited to announce the evolution of DFO Radio with our new “Request Line” series.  I thought I’d address any questions in the form of a Q&A session.

Q: Okay, so what is this new “Request Line” thing?

A: It’s basically a combination of the old mock drafts and the free-for-all weekend posts where we’d dump a bunch of youtube videos into the komments.  For the upcoming Request Line feature every Friday we’ll have a new guest DJ (featuring some familiar faces like Ray Lewis, Tom Brady, and Todd Haley) and a new topic, and every Sunday evening/Monday morning I’ll aggregate the songs into a DFO Radio post.

Q: So we’re supposed to post requests, and you’ll play them?

A: No, you have to find the youtube links yourself and then post them in the comments.

Q: Why is it called “Request Line” then?  That’s stupid.

A: No, you’re stupid.

Q: No, you are.

A: Wait, isn’t this supposed to be a question and answer thing? Come on, let’s get back on track.

Q: Hey, I posted a “request” link and it didn’t make it into DFO Radio?  What the hell, man?

A: All the songs are aggregated by some javascript code that I wrote.  It’s not perfect – sometimes it misses things.  Also, sometimes youtube has issues with songs (not playable in the U.S., user account gets deleted, etc.) so I have to clip them out.  I also clip out all full albums and multiple-song live performances.  And non-music videos get clipped too.  You can be assured it’s nothing personal – I’m just trying to keep the playlists nice and tight so folks can enjoy them at work on Monday (assuming they are not Raiders fans and have jobs).

Q: What if I have an ass-kicking song I want to post that doesn’t fit with the theme?

A: Go nuts, man.  The themes are just a guideline – if you’ve got something you want to share, by all means go ahead and do it.

Q: So is there an edition of DFO Radio this week?  Cause that’s what I came here for, not some stupid nonsense about future posts.

A: There is!  Here’s the results of last week’s mock draft (Best Soundtracks from Worst Movies).  Enjoy!
