Shane Elam:

Here we go! All you never wanted to know about Shane, but were afraid to ask!

I was born in beautiful San Diego, California where I was ordained by the state to be a "long hair" and given the street cred to say "dude." I saw the 1st Star Wars in Flagstaff, Arizona, Empire Strikes Back in Las Vegas, Nevada, and Return of the Jedi in Dallas, Texas. Ahhhh, Texas moved to Rockwall, Texas in forth grade. I graduated and moved to Austin, Texas to attend UT. Okay, so I didn't so much as attend UT as drank and checked out live music while crashing on campus. Did it lead me to riches and a cubicle as an Electrical Engineer? No, but it got me where I am today. Right here at 101X.


While fulfilling the prestigious and essential role of sandwich artist, I heard that there was a new alternative rock station coming to town. After some bribes of free cookies, I became the 1st intern at 101X, but more were to soon follow. Toby, James and I have been here since about day one and they haven't gotten rid of us yet, heh.


So here I am today. What you may not know about me is that I own 4 guitars. I am a fairly good artist. I am addicted to Adult Swim on cartoon network, UT football, Tom Robbins, oxygen, British comedy.


I hate stupid manufactured boy/girl bands. Really, there's a word for singing words that you didn't write to music you didn't play: "KARIOKE." This is like candy bars for your soul. Sure, candy is yummy now and then, but if you eat nothing but candy, your teeth rot and you start looking like Jabba the Hutt.
