DJs of the Week: Kacy Karlen & Hans Law
What song, artist, or album changed your life?
KK: I remember jamming to "Heavy Fuel" by Dire Straits in the car with my dad when I was a little tyke. And really, "Sultans of Swing" defined my early musical taste.
HL: Like so many of us, the first recording artist that got me into popular music was Michael Jackson. Bad and Thriller will always be remembered as the tunes we used to prance around to when we still wore Osh-Kosh and ate Kix. M.J., along with Winnie the Pooh singalongs and the Mariah Carrey tapes my dad blasted in the car represent the music of my formative years.
What's the best concert you've ever seen?
HL: Although I have seen a few more "hip" artists in concert, I would have to say M.J.'s Dangerous Tour was the best concert I have ever seen. Who can deny the coolness of M.J. in the early '90s?
KK: Oooo...toughie! Actually, I saw Solas (a contemporary Celtic band) in concert recently, and they were amazing. Very versatile musicians.
What have you been listening to lately?
KK: The Darkness, The Thorns, Super Furry Animals, Autour de Lucie.
HL: Lately I have been listening to The Dining Rooms; a hip Italian underground Nu-Jazz group with catchy lyrics and great rhythms. Get their album, Tre, or listen to our show to hear their stuff.
Favorite artist?
HL: Fantastic Plastic Machine when I'm up, The Cure when I'm down.
KK: Artists, actually. The Who. I have a crush on Pete Townsend.
Favorite album?
KK: The Who Sell Out.
HL: Now That's What I Call Music Volume Five. No, really.
Favorite Beatles song?
HL: "Michelle."
KK: "Eight Days A Week." I like songs that celebrate a lack of mathematical ability.
Karlen and Law's show airs Monday mornings at 7:00-9:00 a..m. Hot electronica, fusion and Asian pop! So wake up and tune in.
