Ugly Music for Beautiful People

This is the last edition of Orange Skies and my last show on KXUA. I’ve been doing Orange Skies for a little over a year, but I’ve been DJing at KXUA for coming up on 6 years now. Needless to say, not having a weekly radio show will be a rather major change in my life. Luckily, it will be part of a whole package of major changes (I’m moving to East Lansing, MI to go to graduate school), so it will get lost in the static to a certain extent. Still, I will miss it and will always look fondly on KXUA. My time at KXUA has been one of the most important things I’ve done and I can hardly imagine the person I would be if I hadn’t shown up at that recruitment meeting when I was a 19 year old sophomore.
