'Locals Only' - Weeknights at 11:30 - Providing You with the Best of the Local Scene
I'm 24. A Scorpio..yes, we are the greatest. I was born in New Orleans... I guess, that's why I'm dark and twisty. I've been in radio for 6 years. I absolutely love to entertain! I wear costumes for fun.
Music is like chocolatte milk... except, I don't feel like throwing up, if I have too much of it. I like road trips, but hate the road during traffic. Coffee... Black... Irish... Dunkin'... with Skim... Either Way... Gotta Have My Coffee. Paintings. Photographs. Spurs... I'd Like to Own Myself a Pair, One Day. Thinking... I Do That Too Much, Sometimes. It Gets Me Into Trouble, Among Other Things. Indians. Vintage Belongings of Mine. I Take Things From People..Mainly, the Ones I Like. I'm a Collector. I Like Making People Mix Compilations. It Doesn't Mean I Like You, in That Way. However, If I Make You a Mix CD... It's On. Coffee Shops... It's Great For Depicting the Varieties of People/Freaks... Makes Me Feel Normal. Jazz Music Excites Me... Not the Elevator Kind. The Sun... It's an Odd... but Not So Odd Obsession of Mine. Bread. Hott Sauce. Hott Sauce On Bread. I'm Indecisive and Picky... About Everything, Especially, Food... But If I Can Put Hott Sauce On It... It's a Done Deal.
I Have Many Goals in Life, and I WILL Accomplish Them All... Including, Appearing On Cops. Hopefully, Arrested By My Father... but Not For Anything Like Murder, DUI... Something Fun... like hopping a train.
Reading Outside. Playing the G. I Want a Banjo, Please. Rivers. I Write Letters..From the Civil War. Cemeteries Have A Lot of Life to Them. I want to learn how to swing dance. That's on my bucket list. I didn't like that movie, though.
My favorite thing to do, is to go to shows! However, I hate when people talk or sing louder than the artist. That's one reason I carry a holster with me.
My favorite places in Atlanta... Star Bar, Johnny's Hideaway, Highland Ballroom, Park Tavern For Unplugged In the Park, Variety Playhouse, Fernbank Museum, Java Monkey, Li-ul 5 Points, Rag-O-Rama, La Fonda, Freedom Park, Five Spot, The Liquor Store, Psycho Sisters, Midtown Art Cinema, Plaza Theatre, Eastside Lounge, Front Page News (Li-ul Five's Location,) Sevananda, Criminal Records, Clermont Lounge, MJQ, Old Mills Antique Village, Inman Park Neighborhood (I Want to Secretly Live In a Stranger's Attic, in One of Those Gargeous Homes!,) Kudzu, Wax N Facts, Yoforia, Boomerang, Oakland Cemetery, Southern Comfort, and your bedroom window.

"We’re excited to be returning to the UK and Europe this fall for our first proper headline run for 'Diamond Eyes'," said frontman Chino Moreno. "The new stuff is sounding huge live and has been a blast to perform, as well as the oldies but goodies we plan to sneak in the sets. It's gonna be rad!"
