Fake THIS IS ROCK 'N' ROLL RADIO Playlist: A-Sides and B-Sides

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.
Had the 45; did NOT have the picture sleeve.

Here's a quick li'l exercise: a phony TIRnRR playlist made up of 45s, both the A-side and B-side. Each of these is a single I owned at some point (and I've retained possession of quite a few of them). SPOILER ALERT: two of the songs in this fabricated playlist will also be on the actual TIRnRR this Sunday night. Join us! We'll make ya flip.

This Is Rock 'n' Roll Radio with Dana & Carl--y'know, the real one--airs Sunday nights from 9 to Midnight Eastern, on the air in Syracuse at SPARK! WSPJ 103.3 and 93.7 FM, and on the web at http://sparksyracuse.org/ You can read all about this show's long and weird history here: Boppin' The Whole Friggin' Planet (The History Of THIS IS ROCK 'N' ROLL RADIO). TAX DEDUCTIBLE DONATIONS are always welcome.

The many fine This Is Rock 'n' Roll Radio compilation albums are still available, each full of that rockin' pop sound you crave. A portion of all sales benefit our perpetually cash-strapped community radio project:
