DJ Rossstar

Photo Credit: Lauren Steil for those of you that don’t know, DJ Rossstar hit us up here at stuffscenekidslike.com and asked us to have a field day with him, just for kicks. Long Island native and current Los Angeles resident DJ RoSSStar (don’t forget the third S), has had his online radio show, DJ Rossstar’s Punk Rock Show since 2002.

He films live from his bedroom (which happens to be a mess), and the bands sit on his couch. Seriously dude, you’re supposed to be the God of internet radio, with 40 THOUSAND people a week watching your show, and you do it IN YOUR BEDROOM, even more so ON YOUR COUCH? Really, you can’t do any better than that? If he didn’t have a supermodel girlfriend (yeah, you better believe it), I’d think that [...]
