You Are What You Hear

By: Kamila Kudelska

KDVS is a valuable place, full of extraordinary characters in all areas specifically in the music scene. Most people might say that you will meet some of the characters of your lifetime in the Freeborn basement. The irreplaceable library of music that makes KDVS is what attracts the people who truly love those garage/basement bands that ensue. The renowned ability that has been found in KDVS is the faculty to play music not mainstream or popular but in an unique DJs mind educational, diverse, and challenging but overall awesome. What may be the most attracting feat of this community is each person’s passion and love for a variety of music.

But what makes KDVS so unique is the diversity of personality present. Recently NPR wrote an article about the six songs that describe who you are, essentially “you are what you hear.” By answering six questions, you are able to infer who the person is. In an effort to try to introduce the community of KDVS some of our new volunteers and current DJs and staff answered the following questions:
