Secrets of the City

uhhh… DJ Dirty Duke…

Mei Young, Jason Nagel, Dan Donovan, Bill DeVille, Mark Wheat, Wally Walker, Dave Dworkin, Tom Barnard and Dan Culhane (before Barnard became a complete ass), Mary Lucia (I guess), Brian Oake (I guess), Kevin Cole, Brad Savage….OK, that’s all I can think of right now…who were some more of the old Rev 105 DJ’s? Peter Jesperson had a great show on Rev 105. How about KJJO?

There are only 2 DJs who matter in this town and they’re both working on the same station:

Mark Wheat and Mary Lucia.

If I were banished to a desert island and forced to pick one single person to DJ the soundtrack to the rest of my days I would happily choose either one. If Brian Oake worked at the same station he’d be worthy of consideration also.

As far as old-timers, all other FM radio DJs are idiots and it is just a matter of degree.

DJ Wuh?

Techno-ravey sounding… fast tempo, great rythm… not sure when (or where) he’s gonna be next, but he’s good.

Bill DeVille’s juicy house beats really get my boo-tay shakin’!

I heard a guy named Ugly Del Roberts on the radio just before he died a few years ago. They said he wasn’t really ugly, just kinda fat.

DJ Spanky McPumpkin – you won’t of heard of him, he’s very, very underground. So underground, in fact, that you won’t find any evidence of him existing, so don’t even bother. Far too cutting edge for the likes of Mnspeak readers.

So we’re talking about radio DJs here? I was going to vote for Big Mama J, but I don’t know if she’s on the radio…

I don’t know how anyone named Spanky McPumpkin could be cutting edge.

All spellings are guesswork:

True Don Bleu
Chuck (?) Knapp
Michael J Donuts
John Hines (and ___ Berglund)
Steve Shannon
Jerry St. James
Mesa Kinkaid
Dandy Doug
Jimmy Reed
Don Martin (and the Catman? – Barnard, I think)
Tawn Mastrey

Shut up Teucer and The Rat; you’ve said too much.

I guess you haven’t heard of DJ Chadwick C Chaddesen III Jr (call me “Chad”), then, Rat? Apparently uncool names are where it’s at with the kids these days.

Hines and Berglund’s atomic trance beats really get my boo-tay shakin’!

Say what you will, Hines and Berglund gave Minnesota “Hubba Hubba Zoot Zoot.”

Barry Siewert, Rob Sherwood, Chuck Knapp and Michael J {donuts} Douglas, Jim Brunette, Hines and Berglund, Hal Hoover,

“As far as old-timers, all other FM radio DJs are idiots and it is just a matter of degree.“

I’m thinking that that whole banishment-to-a-deserted-island thingie might work out for you.

“Say what you will, Hines and Berglund gave Minnesota “Hubba Hubba Zoot Zoot.”

AHH! the gold ole days…Hines got the SHAFT from KTLK, 16 years with Clear Channel and that’s the thanks he gets? Kicked right in the…ah, well you know!

Almost forgot:

The Chucker (Chuck Morgan)
The original U100 genius Rob Sherwood
Jo Jo Gun
(Silent Bobby Smith??)

tone e fly.

Greg Carr, 90.3 Digging up the Roots.

Alan Stone KQ the Early Years…Night Trip…those were the glory days

not sure why this was categorized radio, but whatever. the first four DJs i listed were club DJs in the 80s.

but radio is totally good too.

more.

Leigh Kamman (or Lake Hammon), however you prefer.

“not sure why this was categorized radio, but whatever. the first four DJs i listed were club DJs in the 80s.“

Well, the Moondog (Freed) was bigtime radio, plus, consider that there are people out here who read what you just typed and think “what’s a club DJ?”

on the 90s club/rave dj tip:

kevin whitley
freddy fresh
esp woody mcbride
chris sattinger
dj apollo
dj slip
etones
alexander east
david drone
alex jarvis
dj earth
man-x

DJ FRANCO

He spun the now dead “International Nights” at just about every hot downtown spot old and new. but most note worthy he did Wednesday nights at Nochee, Thursday nights at Mel’s Beauty Bar, Saturday nights Lounge, Loring Pasta Bar, and the Times and many others.

If you ever wondered where every Bosnian, Serb, Arab, Russian, and Persian that resided in MN loved to go out, its wherever DJ FRANCO is playing.

Long Live Franco!

Oops. I got the wrong Alan, eh?

JJ Kincaid, Jake Redman, Brad Savage. I remember these guys filling in on “Crap from the Past” and taking over KSMM while they were all in the TCs….fun stuff.

I love farting.
