Beginning to see delight. That's our ongoing goal at This Is Rock 'n' Roll Radio with Dana & Carl. This week, we arrived at the studio with little in mind. Uh...well, while that's always the case that there ain't much in our minds, I mean we didn't have many specifics planned for the show. We knew we'd do our annual Easter spin of "Roll Away The Stone" by Mott The Hoople. We knew we'd offer salvation to a poor listener who had never heard The Cowsills' magnificent 1998 track "She Said To Me." We knew we needed to introduce the TIRnRR faithful to fab new music from David Brookings & the Average Lookings, Kai Danzberg, Sean Hutton, Muck & the Mires, Stephen Lawrenson, and Amoeba Teen. The rest of the show? It would have to take care of itself.
And it did. It always does. That's the delight of The Best Three Hours Of Radio On The Whole Friggin' Planet. We're delighted to be of service. This is what rock 'n' roll radio sounded like on a Sunday night in Syracuse this week.
