“The best music that I’ve heard on the radio in ages…”
~Leslie

“SO GREAT. I loved hearing some old Madonna and especially Queen Latifah and it was also fun to hear ‘Til Tuesday (and not “Voices Carry”). I love it!”
~Ali

“I’ve listened for the first time tonight to “The Deep End”. You’re just killing it. The playlist is so tight…and you’re so genuine. I also check out KCRW and 103.1…but this 'The Deep End' is something I won’t miss and will tell my friends and musician buddies all about it…”
~David

"Can't tell you how much I love your show...I was beginning to think that there wasn't a viable music scene in the U.S. and that Triple A radio had become so homogenized that it wasn't really listenable..."
~Lou

“Seriously, best f------ show on the radio!! I love KCRW, but your mix is insanely great. That Outkast cover was unbelievable. And you played Deb Talan!! Thanks for a tremendous show…”
~John

ABOUT ROSANNA LEE
I host The Deep End every Saturday from 9pm to midnight on KCSN 88.5FM in Los Angeles. The show is also streamed live at kcsn.org. In 2006, Los Angeles Magazine named KCSN the best university-sponsored station in town, exclaiming, "In a city of superb college-affiliated radio stations, KUSC for classical music, KCRW for public affairs programming and world music, KPCC for local coverage ... Cal State Northridge's stands out."

Playing the best new voices in folk, rock, and pop is a definite priority of mine for the show, and I also like to put some dance, funk, and hip hop into the mix to keep the energy flowing. When I put together my playlists, I dig into my record, tape, and CD collection which dates back about forty years. Music has always been my truest companion, and I treasure all the amazing songs by legendary artists that never get played on the radio, not to mention transcendent live recordings and covers that have made me hear so many of the songs I love in a whole new way. I see invisible threads of influence and inspiration linking artists like Joni Mitchell to Regina Spektor, Johnny Cash to Arcade Fire, Yaz to Frou Frou and on and on in one big interconnected rock and roll web.

I feel so fortunate to have the opportunity to host a show like this where I get to try to pull all those threads together on a station as cool as KCSN in a city as breathtaking and heartbreaking as Los Angeles. I am one lucky girl.

Thanks for listening!
Rosanna

Venice, CA 90294

I welcome mail submissions and promise to listen to everything sent my way... and I do mean everything. If I love it, I'll play it, and if I play it, you'll see that I did in the playlists that are posted in my blog section above for each show. PLEASE check my playlists out BEFORE mailing me anything to see if the music you're making is a fit with the music I'm playing.

That said, please do NOT email me through MySpace to ask me to check out your music or to follow up if you've mailed me some music. There's no way I can possibly repond due to the volume of emails coming in. I want to spend as much time as possible listening to submitted music, not wading through emails...which should really be what you want me to be doing also when you think about it...
