DJ Shannon : Variety Mix, Tues. 1-6AM
I was born into music. Primarily British music. I'm easily impatient and can't wait for UK bands to cross the pond and crawl onto our airwaves so I go there and drag it out of them.
Best finds: Editors, Engineers, Arctic Monkeys, The Rakes, The Go! Team, to name a few on my numerous trips to the UK.
I joke that I'm big in Europe. Since we stream online, the majority of my listeners are in Europe and I program my overnight show accordingly.
Contrary to what most people think, I DO like some American, local and international bands. So there! Brooklyn is the new England.
Next big UK band: Foals
Watch out for: Mason Proper, Lykke Li, Yeasayer, MGMT, Pela

I saw Band of Horses when they were known as “Horses” and played at Neumos with Iron and Wine back in early 2005.
I appear *briefly* in their video “Great Salt Lake” but spent the majority of my time cooking up veggie burgers for everyone after the shoot.
Saw Ghostland Observatory perform to 25 people at Sunset Tavern back in February 2006. Sasquatch at the Gorge, Monolith Festival at Red Rocks and now they're playing the Showbox.
In April 2005, I brought back some Arctic Monkeys demos on a lead from a Rough Trade Record store clerk in London. Six months later I saw them play in Leeds at Granary Wharf. A very cool venue under the train tracks.
Currently, many of my favourite bands start with the letter “M.”
I have tattoos of Fallen Angels on my chest taken from Mew's “She Spider” video.
I was a radio producer at Windowsmedia.com right when KCMU started streaming online. I featured the station all the time and found it difficult to choose any other station because in my eyes there wasn't another station in the world people should listen to. I still feel this way and am hyperventilating over dj'ing at a station I worship.
Lately I'm an interactive producer at an advertising agency.
I started volunteering at pledge drives in 1999 then became John in the Morning's assistant (2002 - 2006). All legit. Nothing under the table.
DJ'ing since October 27, 2005. Only on KEXP. My 1st and last DJ gig. Why go anywhere else? This is the only radio station out there.

The Distance - Stand Alone EP) (Self-released)
Self-released debut from this London band. "Supergrass meets The Beautiful South at a masked ball and have their wicked, wicked way with her." Works for me.
