The Audacity of Dope

We shall overcome.  One day.

After 300 consecutive weeks of SNSS, we experienced some massive technical problems in our new studio that prevented us from broadcasting over the airwaves for Show #301.  Amazingly, our first show in the new studio went off without a hitch last week, but apparently that was simply fool’s gold.  Despite our engineer’s best efforts, we were resigned to playing songs out of the station’s database (of course we selected dope records though) and couldn’t play any of the tracks we planned on debuting.  Also, since our mics weren’t working, we couldn’t interview our guests, Maseo of the legendary De La Soul and Mowii, Pee W33, and Bounc3 from a new Los Angeles group called The Rej3ctz.  Shout to those folks for coming through and hanging out despite the tech issues.

Since SNSS is here for the people, I just didn’t feel right leaving you all without anything to listen to this week.  I joked in the studio during the crisis that I would “fix it all in post,” then it hit me: why not?  With that in mind, I tossed together a quick collection of the records we wanted to play and put it up for y’all as if everything went down as usual.  I present to you…the Lost Episode of SNSS:

Fail.

Double fail.

Dreamhost was trippin’ and TAOD was down from for the entire afternoon/evening.  Third time this has happened in like a month and a half.  Hopefully we’re back up and running just fine, but I suppose the one positive of an outage is that I get to post a new fail pic each time.  Sorry bout that y’all.

I’m new to this whole website admin stuff, but just a week in and it’s already annoying.  This site was down for a few hours last night, which probably didn’t affect too many of you.  Since I’m damn near nocturnal, it was pretty frustrating for me, but I figured it was all good.  Then today, apparently some moron flipped a circuit breaker wherever the Dreamhost servers are located and TAOD was down for damn near the whole day.  It appears that we’re back up and running, so hopefully this was just an anomaly. 

Sorry for the downtime though y’all.
