Mornings
KNDD (107.7 The End)/Seattle
KPEK in Albuquerque, NM, airing traffic during the PD's voice tracked show while he was in promo meetings etc. I was 15 and remember thinking the traffic guy calling himself Skywalker was SO COOL.
OMG it was Korn at the Wool Warehouse, Albuquerque, in 1996 - when Jonathan Davis brought out the bagpipes we lost it. Tiny venue, terrible neighborhood, grungy band with a metal cover of nursery rhymes how ridiculous. We all wanted seven-string Ibanez guitars after that!
A got a few tapes as a kid but my first non-C&C Music Factory album was Pearl Jam's Vs. My much older cousin was so proud of me and bought me Ten. I always like Vs better because it has "Animal" on it.
I have literally no idea. I can't even remember what station it was at. I remember my first terrible interview (DM me and i'll share the artist) but they were so cool until we turned the microphones on and then they put down their sunglasses and were total jerks. And my first amazing interview was Rob Zombie coming into KFMA in Tucson with his supermodel wife and their pet pug, Dracula, and he played records for an hour. He saw my personal CD book in the studio and started pulling my old punk rock records out - misfits, minor threat, DK and playing those and I felt SO COOL. He was a really sweet guy.
My first dead air at KNDD - I got done at 6p and tracked until 7p - at 7:15p I get a call that we had dead air and it was somehow my fault (it was not). I lived 20 minutes away and made it to the station in 17 minutes and just as I got there someone else finally just went and hit play again. I somehow still had to have the lecture - insert Liam Lynch *whatevah.*
