Fake THIS IS ROCK 'N' ROLL RADIO Playlist: Two Acts, One Voice

This Is Rock 'n' Roll Radio with Dana & Carl is simply too large a concept to be neatly contained within a mere three-hour weekly time slot. Hence these occasional fake TIRnRR playlists, detailing shows we're never really going to do...but could.

Today's exercise in what-if/so-what? occurred to me on a recent morning commute: a series of coupled tracks, pairing a track by a group with a subsequent track by that group's lead singer performing under a different nom du bop, whether as a solo artist or in another group. This is one I don't think we would ever really consider for TIRnRR, since it's kinda gawky and fragile. But it works perfectly fine as an idle idol notion, so here 'tis.

This Is Rock 'n' Roll Radio with Dana & Carl--y'know, the real one--plays Sunday nights from 9 to Midnight Eastern, on the air in Syracuse on The Spark WSPJ-LP 103.3 and 93.7, and on the web at http://sparksyracuse.org/

Spark Syracuse is supported by listeners like you. Tax-deductible donations are welcome at http://sparksyracuse.org/support/
