Arrive at the station and prep for the night. Look over the playlists from the past two weeks to see what songs have been getting the most playtime on our station as well as commercial radio. If certain songs are being overplayed, I might try to de-emphasize them by taking them out of the rotation for the night, or vice versa if a song I like isn't getting a lot of airtime. Before the show, I look through the rotation of the most popular recent discs and choose which ones to play. The station manager likes each show to play about 50 percent of the rotation, leaving the rest up to the DJs. Pre-show preparation also includes scanning new discs for interesting songs, listening to selections suggested by the Nocturne managers and listening for inappropriate language in songs. This isn't always fail-safe, however. I once played the King Missile song "Detachable Penis," which didn't have any offensive language and, in my eyes, was not particularly offensive. But I guess the administration thought that a song about a man losing his detachable organ was unsuitable for airplay.

My co-host Kevin Rini arrives and we talk about the evening's contests. The first involves working on the night's "Tri-Bond," a game that asks the listener to link three given words (for example: "Haze/' "Rain," and "People Eater" are all linked by the word "Purple"). The giveaways are always fun and usually we get a good response to them, but sometimes we and our audience aren't on the same wavelength. Like the time we did "Book," "Parking," and "Pot," no one called in (the bond was "sticker"). The other contest we run is a movie quote, which is pretty self-explanatory. The prizes are usually extra copies of CDs and tapes that the station gets from record companies. The DJs choose ones we think are the best to give away because the station gets a lot of garbage and we don't like to give garbage away as a prize. INTO THE NIGHT. Nocturne DJs like Gina Vecchione dramatically change the character of WSND's music when they take over at midnight. - .

Showtime. This includes lining up the rotation songs so that the show has a smooth flow to it. Our show focuses BY JOHN GAVULA on classic rock, but we also take a lot of requests. We want the show's playlist to flow between groups of heavy and light music. You don't want to sandwich someone like Donovan in between AC/DC and Tool. uring the day, anyone listening to 89.9 FM will hear the We start out by playing the Nocturne theme music and then a good transition song, something fairly accessible so as not to shock our older listeners. D sounds of classical- music interspersed with student We'll come on afterwards, introduce ourselves and then hook the listeners by teasing them with the knowledge that they can win prizes. We only like to plan two songs ahead since we like to leave the show open to audience requests. newscas.ts and weather reports. But when the clock strikes KISSin' Time. Since our show attempts to focus on classic rock outside of the rotation, we playa Kiss song every show at this time. midnight, like Cinderella, things become a little different. Tchaikovsky is traded for Tool, Mozart makes way for Motley Criie and the Likewise, at 1:00 we always get the Led (Zeppelin) out so the listeners can get their fill. But really, who can ever get their fill of Led? request line gets busy. The rest of the show is spent fielding calls from listeners, discussing topics for the next on-air segment, cueing the up-coming song and just jamming out in the studio. At the end of each day, from midnight to' 2 a.m., WSND begins its Nocturne show, which showcases alternative~ new and classic rock along with whatever other particular genres each night's DJ cares to Time to close shop. We read the station sign-off ("This concludes our broadcasting day ... ") and give all of the play.
