Meet the KSYM DJs

What is your DJ and real name? Davo. My real name is David O'Rourke.

What's your show and when does it air? "The Radio Lab" Thursdays from 7 p.m.-9 pm.

What kind of music is on your show? Indie, classic and new alternative, new wave, art and experimental rock, some electronica, and post punk.

What is the funniest thing that has happened while on air? When I was a new DJ, I once forgot to turn the microphone off when the music started playing. Anyone listening could hear me talking out loud to myself.

What got you interested in radio? Since puberty, people told me I had a voice for radio. After wasting two years at Northwest Vista not knowing what to do with my future, I discovered the RTF program here at SAC. So transferring to SAC and learning about the technical side of television, film and radio — all while becoming a DJ — seemed like too good of an opportunity to ignore. Coming to this school is the best decision I've ever made.

What underground/local band do you enjoy? Girl in a Coma. Not only are they a talented band from San Antonio, they're getting national attention.

What would people be surprised to know about you? My biggest passion lies in film and video.

I am quite the movie nerd. What is your favorite about being on air? Being in control of the airwaves and sharing great music that won't be heard on commercial stations.

What has been your favorite moment so far from your show? Getting phone calls on the request line from friends and family that I haven't spoken to in months/years.

What new CD will listeners hear on your show and what's so good about it? The new Gorillaz album, Plastic Beach. It's the same alternative band we've known for nearly a decade dishing out some funky new tracks that combine hip-hop, soul and electronica in a fashion that only Gorillaz can pull off.
