Meet the KSYM DJs

What is your DJ and real name? I go by nEuROTICA but my real name is Victoria Acevedo.

What's the name of your show and what time does it air? The Toxic Takeover 7 p.m.-9 p.m. Fridays

What kind of music is played on your show? From 7 to 8 o'clock, is a variety of rock such as alt, pop punk, metalcore, dance rock, even a bit of grunge. From 8 to 9 o'clock, it's house, trance, techno and industrial. Either way, you can't get it on regular radio.

What is the funniest thing that has happened while on air? I had to beg people to call in for some ABA tickets (amateur basketball) during a giveaway. I guess it's either Spurs or bust for some people.

What got you interested in radio? I wanted something to do with my spare time and getting into radio seemed like a good idea.

What underground or local band do you enjoy listening to? Right now, I really like Lackluster. They were on our "Live on KSYM" show a few weeks ago and enjoyed the pop punk sound. As far as more national acts go, no one can beat my love for Jack's Mannequin and Silverchair.

What would people be surprised to know about you? Despite my vast intellect, I am actually incredibly immature and a bigger pervert than most guys.

What is your favorite thing about being on air? Spinning good tunes to anyone who will listen.

What has been your favorite moment so far from your show? All the phone calls I had received when giving away 311 tickets made me realize that people actually do listen to me.

What new CD will listeners hear on your show and what's so good about it? Motion City Soundtrack. The Minnesota quintet is back yet again, this time with their major label debut "My Dinosaur Life." The album is poppy and catchy at best, and at worst it is your prototypical, emo-driven pop punk band. As far as the musicianship, the drums stand out the best among all the instruments, the guitarmanship is simple yet effective, with the bass not all that noticeable. The vocals, although strained, work well with the content and emotion driven by the lyrics. The album was produced by Mark Hoppus and that fun Blink 182 feel is definitely there.
