Anniversary of the Lockdown
Today marks the 1 year anniversary of KZMU’s lockdown. 12 months ago I sent out an email asking our incredible, diverse lot of nearly 80 volunteer DJs NOT to come to the station, that we’d figure it out, and that we’d do what we could.
For the first three months of total lockdown, the staff worked hard to keep the programming lively – late night dance parties, Tips & Tricks for Extraordinary Times, and more. And our incredible DJs began making some epic home recordings for your shows. Literally hundreds of hours; and truly some of my favorite programming that I’ve heard during my tenure here at the station.
DJ Spotlight: DJ Starjive
DJ NAME: DJ Starjive
TUNE IN: Every other Tuesday 2-4 p.m.
TIME ON THE AIR AT KZMU: Three years, or so.
BRIEF BIO: I was born loving music and grew up with show tunes. I can sing the entire Soliloquy from the hit show “Carousel”, a unique talent I am all too willing to share. I was a dJ in Telluride (KOTO) and currently do the same here in Moab to stay in touch.
I’m a Brooklyn girl. Came out west and met the love of my life and never looked back.
WHAT CAN LISTENERS EXPECT FROM YOUR SHOW? Hopefully, good medicine for whatever ails. It’s always a surprise. I dig a wide swathe: roots, blues, swing-y, jazzy, rock n roll, folk n roll…. Often a theme emerges and sometimes a brief astrological forecast.
