Famous Firsts with Crowley
Crowley (but my friends call me Mister)
Mornings (KILO Production Director)
KRXP (X1039)/Colorado Springs, CO
101.5 K-Rock in "The Little Apple," Manhattan, KS. I just thought it'd be more fun than fast food while I was in college, a lark, and the radio gravity well done got me.
Summer Sanitarium 2003 Brother, Limp Bizkit covering The Who And Women Tryna Dance Sexily To Metallica and me sober cuz I got carded. What a show!
Green Day's Insomniac, got it from W*lmart the day it was released, and that was the day I first encountered the phenomenon that everything a band puts out AFTER you discover them will never match up to what had existed prior.
Lemme give my first two for the fun juxtaposition: Avenged Sevenfold and Stephin Merritt of the Magnetic Fields. Avenged Sevenfold was doing their first tour and press after the Rev died, so they were NOT feeling it, and I was trying to be funny, joking about them fighting Metallica or something, just a mess. It was miserable for all of us. BUT then Stephin Merritt, a notoriously difficult interview, after a rocky start actually went shockingly well! He was even better at my job than me: I asked about the 6ths out of nowhere, and he busts out a "If any of your listeners don't know, The 6ths was a collaborative project where..." He might have hated it but damn he was a pro!
Running board for some sports game, forgot to put the playlist back into auto after it was over, and of course my drive home was shorter than that first song, so didn't hear about it until getting a call at 5:30 am the next day. Off all night!
