Claim your profileI have been on the air on WFMU since 1985, as hostess of Diane's Kamikaze Fun Machine, including the PEER PRESSURE interview/guest DJ segments/podcasts. My goal is to have everyone on the planet connect with the music that moves them whether it's by hearing a great interview or great music! What drives me is bringing the best out of my interview guests by creating a comfortable atmosphere in which to have a conversation about themselves and what drives them to be expressed uniquely in the world of music. I enjoy an old school background of writing for many early 'zines in the world of punk & hardcore, and love to write pieces for print. My proofreading skills are top notch, and I am also a technical audio professional! I am happy teching, stage managing, editing, and mixing. I work like a maniac and love doing it, and am an optimist by choice! Do you need a DJ that's killer but not necessarily dance oriented? I rock harder than 90% of the people on the planet and have the collection and taste to prove it! I retired from tattooing in 2009 after 25 years, but the love of ink and my expertise in the field will never die! I have done expert witness testimony in this field, and can run a tattoo shop in my sleep - management skills to the max! I have expanded my Podcast offerings and created a new series within my WFMU podcast called Chapters In Tattoo History! It's great to acknowledge people in this field - it is an industry that often times can be thankless, contrary to what the public may think. It's great fun to chat to those who have contributed their art and knowledge to the world! Vyvyn Lazonga (Seattle) and Lal Hardy (London) were guests for the first two installments of that program. More on the way! I enjoy all the creativity & fun in my life!Specialties: Interviewing, Podcasting, Blogging, Editing, Proofreading, Music Journalism, DJ - Radio /Club Broadcast, Festivals, Radio Producing, Programming, Editing, FOH, Stage/Tour Managing, Abstract Art, Photography, Collage, Textile Design, Tattoo Management, Tattoo Consultant/Expert, Personal Assistant
