Brandy Maloney '06

DJ of the Week: Paul Comasky and Peter Coviello

What is the best album ever created? Paul: "The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars." Pete: "Astral Weeks" and "In the Aeroplane Over the Sea"; "London Calling" and "Highway 61." Each is a belated version of the other. You wouldn't want to leave out Minnesota, with "Purple Rain" and the Replacements' "Let It Be," both I believe from 1984.

DJ of the Week: Dave Wilkinson '67 and LC Van Savage

What is the best album ever created? DW: Of albums produced during my student years, "Freak Out" by the Frank Zappa and the Mothers of Invention. During my student years, this was something completely different. It was the one that said we were living in different times. LVS: All the albums with the music of George Gershwin, Cole Porter, Irving Berlin, Jules Stein, Mel Torme, Frank Sinatra, Ella Fitzgerald, early Barbara Streisand and all the great duet albums of the '90s. And any albums or single made by the great Ray Charles.

DJ of the Week

March 31, 2006

What is the best album ever created?

BM: Jeez. Couldn't really tell you. Too many! But I will say that "Led Zeppelin III" never gets old. It ROCKS!!!! ooooh ooh oooh....and Creedence Clearwater Revival? "Chronicle: The 20 Greatest Hits"! mmmm mmm mmmm.

What's the best band to see live?

BM: Bob Dylan, et al. When he's in a good mood.

What song pumps you up?

BM: "Juicebox" by the Strokes. Definitely. You know, I have two other really random ones that have really awesome beats: Van Morrison's "Domino" and Prince's "When Doves Cry." Play them loud, you'll know what I mean. You can't keep your head from dancing.

What song brings you down?

BM: Any Elliott Smith . "Somebody That I Used to Know" brings back memories?and Jeff Buckley's version of "Hallelujah."

If you were dictator of a small country, what would be your national anthem?

BM: If it's an island and there are lots of sailors and everyone were to adorn me with braided chains made of finest silver from the north of Spain, then "Brandy" by The Looking Glass...duh.

If you were onstage with a mic in front of thousands of screaming fans, what would you say?

BM: Shut the f--- up and let me finish! [dwindling screams followed by eventual silence]. I want a puppy. Anyone got a puppy?

Maloney can be heard on "My Pet Rock," 9:30 p.m. to 11:00 p.m. Tuesday nights on WBOR 91.1 FM.
