Spencer Kane

How long have been at BXR?
Since October of 2008.

Where are you from?
St. Louis, MO though I know my way around Illinois, Wisconsin and Georgia very well.

Favorite music:
Ben Folds Five, Outkast, Rilo Kiley, Foo Fighters, Flaming Lips, Dave Matthews Band and anything else that intrigues me.

Favorite Columbia bar or pub:
The Blue Note, Mojo's (specifically, the patio on a nice night), Room 38.

Favorite Studio X performance:
My very first one - Rhett Miller of the Old 97s on 10.15.08.  Eric Hutchinson twice in '09.  More recently, Band Of Horses on 07.14.10

Favorite BXR birthday show:
So far, it's a tie between Old 97s (10.15.08) and Broken Social Scene (10.17.08).

Book, film or record that changed your life:
High Fidelity (the book and movie) and The Cranberries "Everyone Else is Doing It..." (The first CD I ever purchased and I've been hooked on buying music ever since.)

Strangest, funniest, or most embarrassing radio moment:
A co-host and I once interviewed a band who was very protective over their female member.  Halfway through the interview, my co-host asked her out.  Needless to say, we did not get much out of the band in the interview after that!

What would you be doing if you weren't in radio?
Make-up artist to the stars.

 

What else should we know about you?

I have a serious addiction to all things purple!
