Volume CXXXI, Number 20 April 5, 2002 f

DJ of the week: Rachel Berman

Rachel Berman '02. (James Fisher, Bowdoin Orient)

1. changed my life: This is definitely Ben Folds Five: Whatever and Ever Amen. Before that, I litereally didn't listen to music. I owe it everything. My taste has since changed, but I'll always treasure my Ben Folds days. Been to 20 plus BFF shows. Skipped a lot of school for them.

2. Best Live: The Flaming Lips. I caught these guys a few times over the years, and they keep getting better and more innovative. You can see pure joy in Wayne's (the lead singer) face when he sings... it's so loving. Not to mention gallons of fake blood, tons of confetti, and giant pink rabbits bouncing through the audience.

3. In my stereo: Fugazi: End Hits. Also, Enon: Believo! is never far away.

4. Fave artist other genre: Buddy Rich, jazz/fusion drummer. I guess in real life he was a real asshole (can I say that?) but he was totally a drumming god. His chops were from another planet.

5. song embarassed to like: I don't get embarassed. I believe my taste is perfect. Sorry. Yes, I am a brat.

Rachel's show, with Sena Phin '02, is on WBOR 91.1 FM from 1:00 - 2:30 pm Wednesdays.
