All About The Cacophonous Nightmare

While residing at my quaint apartment on Broad Street in Washington, New Jersey,
I began listening to the radio on a regular basis.  The station I listened to 
the most was WNTI 91.9 FM.  WNTI calls their sound "freeform," and let me tell
you: it is freeform indeed.  It's actually a college radio station.  Most of 
the DJ's and staff members are students and/or faculty of Centenary College in
Hackettstown, New Jersey.  I liked the station so much, I got in contact with
them and eventually became a volunteer DJ.

I am currently only a fill-in guy.  A nice gal named Melanie calls me up now 
and then (on average 0.75 times a week I'd estimate) and asks me to fill in for 
a DJ who cannot make his/her normal gig.  So, I gather up my CDs, perhaps even 
burn a CD, and head on over at the appropriate time to play my tunes and chat to 
the folks who tune in.

It's a fun experience.  I thought my interest in it would wane over time, but it 
has not.  I've been DJ-ing now for well over a year and I'm getting pretty good 
at it. My show is entitled "The Cacophonous Nightmare."  Cacophonous because I 
tend to play a lot of unusual electronic music (ambient, techno, break-beat, 
acid jazz, and trip hop) as well as some alternative rock (noise rock, garage 
rock).  I also like to play audio clips from movies and television shows, as 
well as some avante garde music.  Some people might describe what I play as 
"noise."  My mother is one of those people.  Thus, cacophony.

The term "nightmare" has some significance too.  I'm not out to torture my 
listeners (usually), but some might find my music torturous.  And, I tend to do 
shows mostly at night.  When I first started, I had plans to request a wee hours 
of the morning slot that was open (2 AM to 5 AM on a Tuesday).  I never did.
