This Is Rock 'n' Roll Radio # 931

We came. We saw. We caved immediately. It's been a long week, and we're tired, man. Luckily, the music just about takes care of itself. From a new single by Nick Lowe through the 50th anniversary of The Beatles' White Album, we just turn it up and go. All this, and the unique thrill of playing "Revolution 9," and following it with "Heartbeat--It's A Lovebeat" by The DeFranco Family. 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, Sunday nights from 9 to Midnight Eastern, on the air in Syracuse on The Spark WSPJ-LP 103.3 and 93.7 FM, and on the web at http://sparksyracuse.org/
