Fake THIS IS ROCK 'N' ROLL RADIO Playlist: Too Good For Words

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.


Way back in 1992, on the old Dana & Carl radio show We're Your Friends For Now (the precursor of This Is Rock 'n' Roll Radio), we used to do theme shows. One of those theme shows was an all-instrumental special, billed as "music too good for words." 

We should think about doing that again. Until then, here's a phony TIRnRR playlist celebrating that timeless concept of music too good for words. Sing along! Wait--that's not right....

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 FM, 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/
