The Sponsors

Thank you to Underground Printing for making this all possible. UGP makes custom apparel such as t-shirts and sweatshirts and was founded by 2 Michigan alums over 20 years ago. They have 3 retail locations in Ann Arbor and offer thousands of University of Michigan athletic products for sale, ranging from clothing to accessories and memorabilia. Check them out at ugpmichiganapparel.com.

And let’s not forget our associate sponsors: Peak Wealth Management, HomeSure Lending, Ann Arbor Elder Law, Michigan Law Grad, Human Element, The Phil Klein Insurance Group, Prentice4M, and made possible by SignalWire.

I apologize for the terrible stream today. The streaming software, OBS Studio, wiped my settings 5 minutes before we were to go live.

[After THE JUMP: the player and what we said]

--------------------------------------------

1. Northwestern Defense w Alex Drain

Very bad at linebacker.

2. Northwestern Offense w Alex Drain

Third quarterback's the charm, but all their interior OL are sub-300 and they run power.

3. George Jewett, w Craig Ross

The first Black player for both teams, and also a brilliant doctor.

4. Seth’s Hockey Podcast

Didn’t realize how good.

MUSIC:

Tonight’s featured musician is Dani Darling of Ann Arbor, who released her new album The Future this year and played the Pig a few weeks back. My selections:

And because Sony bought Across 110th Street and slapped a claim on us, the opener and outro:

  • “The Employee is Not Afraid”—Bear vs. Shark
  • “Ruska Vodka”—Motorboat

If you or a friend made some good tunes and don't have a label out scrubbing for them we'd be happy to feature you.

THE USUAL LINKS:

I'm sure that they won't run a zone read that's live, except with McCarthy.

Absolutely no mention on Wikipedia of this song's use as part of the MGoBlog streaming empire.

Shame. 

 

EDIT: For a quick primer on the history of 'Michigan Replay' (and Across 110th Street's selection as the show's theme music) here's an Athleitic article from last year:

When you 3 are listening to Alex, and I (we?) can't hear him, the long silences punctuated by a spurt of laughter makes it look like an Andy Kaufman routine.

and my question is:

Why didn't MGoBlog buy Across 110th Street instead of Sony?

the Michigan Money Canon (via an MGo fundraiser) would have made this a piece of cake.

Doesn't work that way. They made a false claim based on a different version that they own via a subsidiary that they bought. They didn't actually listen to it or consider if it's fair use. YouTube lets them upload the music they claim to own, and then runs a search algorithm on new videos automatically against their library. So from Sony's point of view our video pops up and they are asked if they want to make a claim, and they always say yes because nothing happens to them but they can now slap a million ads on our show and get paid for it.

We are allowed to contest this but it's a long process because YouTube automatically assumes Sony is making a fair claim, and Sony knows this so they have it automated on their end to just say yes to every automated claim, and no to every challenge, and then if I want to keep going I have to threaten legal and fill out this large form about where the bit comes from and how it was used, and then wait the maximum 7 weeks for Sony to have some underling decide fighting me isn't worth it for something they don't actually own. Not exactly not something I can do in the middle of a live stream. And if it's contested the stream comes down.

It's a horrible practice that is pushing creators away from YouTube. The people who claim little bits of football games are worse. That's why I found gfycat. Fuck YouTube.

MSU fans listening to WTKA and finding things to be offended and or feel disrespected by is one of the many reasons they are little brother 

Whoops this was supposed to be commented on the WTKA Roundtable post
