This Is Rock 'n' Roll Radio # 837

After a break, we're back! If you missed us, we appreciate your devotion. If you didn't miss us, check out the playlist below to see what you've been missing, o' misguided one.  We even have our own convenient catchphrase to describe whatever the hell it is we do:

We call it The Best Three Hours Of Radio On The Whole Friggin' Planet!

NEXT WEEK:  Still here (we hope), with this year's edition of Dana's Funky Soul Pit! IN TWO WEEKS: our Labor Day weekend show will be an irresistible blowout we call Radio Worth Paying For; it's not exactly a pledge drive, but a demonstration of why we're worthy of support. It's also the official kick-off for the return of the TIRnRR WHO NEEDS DANA & CARL? Guest Programmer Gimmick. wherein generous souls who donate $100 or more earn an opportunity to program the music for a future three-hour Best Three yadda yadda Friggin' Planet.  IN THREE WEEKS: On September 11th, we celebrate 50 YEARS OF THE MONKEES! And this is what rock 'n' roll radio sounded like on a Sunday night in Syracuse this week.

This Is Rock 'n' Roll Radio with Dana & Carl streams live every week--no, really!--from 9 to Midnight Eastern, exclusively at www.westcottradio.org.
