Shannon is a DJ at WUNH homepage here.
I have always been a fan of My-So-Called Life, it's funny how much I relate to it.
"It just seems like, you agree to have a certain personality orsomething. For no reason. Just to make things easier for everyone. But when you think about it, I mean, how do you know it's even you? And, I mean, this whole thing with yearbook -- it's like, everybody's in this big hurry to make this book, to supposedly remember what happened but it's not even what really happened, it's what everyone thinks was supposed to happen. Because if you made a book of what really happened, it'd be a really upsetting book. You know, in my humble opinion."
-My So-Called Life
"There's so many different ways to be connected to people. There are the people you feel this unspoken connection to, even though there's not even a word for it. There's the people who you've known forever, who know you in this way that other people can't, because they've seen you change... they've let you change."
-My So-Called Life
Steven Crane expressed this perfectly:
“Think as I think” said a man, /
“Or you are abominably wicked; /
You are a toad”
After I had thought of it, /
I said: “I will then, be a toad.”
Oh well. So I'm going to talk a bit about WUNH got Gavin's pick for the number one College Radio Station of the year. I started there about two years ago. In the past I have done a Saturday afternoon show, and last semester I had a thursday 3-6pm show. Currently I have no show, but I try to fill a few shifts week so one could hear me at any random time. I am a Drive Time DJ, and the only highschooler with that clearance level. Drive Time is the time when people are driving to and from work, so the most people are listening (for those who needed an explination). I absolutely adore the people at the station, even though at times it's been rough with some of the close minded people who are aged-obsessed and did not want me there. Even though I do general programming I'm a major pop-wuss. I love indiepop. Indie stands for anything on an independent label. It tends to be small bands that are amazing even though they didn't have the money to pay time radio stations. But they are played on WUNH, to educate the public, and so everyone can hear the amazing artists. People haven't heard of most of these bands unless they seek them out, the majority of the world is really missing out. So, next time you're at a Record store, consider some of these fine picks.
Here's a list of my favorite bands. I love them for their beauty, for the mere reason they don't try to create for a TOP40 medium. But mostly, I just like them.

Flying Saucer Attack
