This Is Rock 'n' Roll Radio # 886

Stuck in traffic on Sunday night--knew I shoulda just stayed off of 690!--I was late to the party, and Dana hadda start without me. I caught up as of Big Star's rejection of eclipse hoopla, and I tried to keep pace. Quick tribute to the late Jerry Lewis (my first fave comedy star when I was a wee lad), some salutes to The Flashcubes' upcoming 40th Anniversary party at Funk 'n Waffles in Syracuse on September 1st, and a bunch of other fine tunes, including many from our new CD This Is Rock 'n' Roll Radio, Volume 4--suddenly, we had another fine show, my highway travails notwithstanding. This is what rock 'n' roll radio sounded like on a Sunday night in Syracuse this week.

Our new compilation CD This Is Rock 'n' Roll Radio, Volume 4 is now shipping from Kool Kat Musik. Many TIRnRR fans are already enjoying this CD; why should you be left out? Buy it at http://shop.koolkatmusik.com/mm5/merchant.mvc?Screen=CTGY&Store_Code=KKM&Category_Code=PO

This Is Rock 'n' Roll Radio with Dana & Carl streams live on Sunday nights from 9 to Midnight Eastern, exclusively at www.westcottradio.org
