Earlier this week, Ray Gianchetti at Kool Kat Musik received the final master of our new compilation CD This Is Rock 'n' Roll Radio, Volume 4. Dana has completed the graphics, Ray is reviewing the whole package for last-minute glitches, and we all hope to have it available for you soon. You can pre-order it right now at Kool Kat.
Within the next day or several on this blog (i.e., probably either Saturday or Tuesday), I will begin a 29-part track-by-track discussion of the fabulous songs on this album, briefly (no, really!) telling you a little bit about TIRnRR's history with each act. This will be kinda like a bonus set of liner notes, supplementing the actual liners. Please listen loudly.
In addition to saturation airplay on our own little mutant radio show, tracks from This Is Rock 'n' Roll Radio, Volume 4 have also been heard on Alan Haber's Pure Pop Radio and The Wax Museum With Ronnie Dark. I've shared the files with the ever-wonderful Palmyra Delran at Little Steven's Underground Garage on Sirius XM. If you're a Sirius subscriber, a polite note to the good folks at Underground Garage requesting tracks from This Is Rock 'n' Roll Radio, Volume 4 would be appreciated the mostest.
The time between a CD's completion and its release is...well, not quite awkward, but certainly an odd feeling. After months of work and obsessing over little details, fussing and fixing, and ultimately exulting in the result, we've hit the patch where there's just nothing left to do anymore. We wait. And we listen to this thing we all collaborated in creating, and we ache with the anticipation of more people getting to hear it, again and again. Soon. Soon.
