Sunnyland Soundsytem Meltdown
May/10/2007 Filed in: bumps in the
road
“Fundi down! I repeat, Fundi is down!”
What?!
I could hardly
believe the words before my eyes. Cyberspace provides a
limited medium for conveying emotion, but I could feel the angst
and frustration flowing through this email. Sunnyland
Soundsystem had experienced a catastrophic meltdown. A ritual
cup of morning coffee – directed by misfortune and gravity, had
penetrated the internal circuitry of Sunnyland’s mainframe.
Sunnyland was out of commission and as a result DJ Fundi, the
webmaster of DestinationBurningMan was no longer able to post the
musings of The Three. To add insult to injury, this was just
the beginning of a long string of misfortunate events that would
befall Fundi and bring chaos to Sunnyland.
The conversations that followed - once Fundi was able to use his disabled cell phone (yet another misfortunate techno-crisis) were filled with concern and frustration over the podcasts, images and words that were poised to be uploaded to the dBM site. And, of course, the un-answerable question of whether or not Fundi’s iLife could be resuscitated.
Fortunately, since you are reading this, the crisis in Sunnlyand has been resolved. At least the mainframe has been re-energized. The word is still out on the other events that followed…. So, if you haven’t already, head over to the podcast page and download Set 2 of the Burnal Equinox mix. We are, once again, servin’ it up – live and direct for you!
There is much more to come – words, music, images – so stay tuned…..
