What was the first concert you went to?
My first concert was to Cheap Trick in Arcata, CA. All-in-all a good experience. The band I saw the most was the Beat Farmers followed by Mojo Nixon, the Fabulous Thunderbirds, and Jimmy Buffett. The most recent concert I attended was Huey Lewis at Wolftrap.
What was the first album you bought with your own money?
I don't remember, but I believe it was either Buddy Holly or AC/DC, both were in album in vinyl. My first tape was the Who's "Quadrophenia"
What’s the most embarrassing song on your iPod?
“Who let the Dogs out?”
What song do you wish you had written?
Anything off the Who's "Quadrophenia" album as that album helped me all through college, but the simplicity of the Trashmen's "Surfin' Bird" is excellent.
Why should we hire you?
Have you not heard the show?

What was the first concert you went to?
J Geils in Providence, RI. Midway through the concert a bunch of people jumped on stage and piled on Peter Wolf. He continued to sing without missing a beat as they pulled everyone off.
What was the first album you bought with your own money?
The Cars first album.
What’s the most embarrassing song on your iPod?
MMMBop by Hanson
What song do you wish you had written?
A couple – “August & September” by The The or “The Book Of Love” by the Magnetic Fields.
Why should we hire you?
I’m originally from Rhode Island and a die hard Patriots and Red Sox fan. I try to head back there every year to hang out at the beach, eat all the food I grew up on and sleep. Dave and I used to work with each other years ago and became friends despite the fact that he was from the west coast. Actually, we both seem to have the same twisted sense of humor. I’ve always loved music and would spend all my free money on it when I was younger. I seem to still do. I never thought I’d be involved with a radio show. Dave invited me to hang out with him on his show and once I was in the studio there was no going back. Now with the addition of Brian, I look forward to helping put music on the air that’s rarely played anywhere else.

Brian
What was the first concert you went to?
Genesis at Three Rivers Stadium in Pittsburgh. It wasn’t my first choice, but I had free tickets and there weren't exactly a lot of cool bands coming to my small, western-PA town.
What was the first album you bought with your own money?
The 45 single "99 Red Balloons" by Nena with "99 Luftbalons" on the B-side. Something about having the German version was so cool to me back in 1984, when that song was #2 in America. Listening to music was really important to me growing up. My sister, mom, and I used to listen to American Top 40 with Casey Kasem every Sunday while cleaning the house. I loved it.
What’s the most embarrassing song on your iPod?
That’s easy – "Peanut Butter Jelly Time" by Chip-Man & The Buckwheat Boyz. It was funny at first – it really was. When it comes up on the shuffle on my itunes on the computer, I have the same reaction as I do when my alarm clock goes off in the morning. Shut it off as fast as possible.
What song do you wish you had written?
I’m no song writer, but I always loved “Bad Reputation” by Freedy Johnston. I guess I’d have to say that one. I don’t have a bad reputation, but I just think it’s a great song. I also think that “Imagine” by John Lennon and “Do You Realize?” by the Flaming Lips are the songs that are the most meaningful songs ever written.
Why should we hire you?
We are smart, funny, entertaining, informative, and dammit, people like us. We pride ourselves on coming up with good segments and keeping the material fresh and ideas flowing. We feature repeating segments like "Unsolicited Advice", "New Releases", "Concert Update", "Green Moment", and "Site of the Week" - and we throw in a few new ones from time to time to keep it interesting.
