Fake THIS IS ROCK 'N' ROLL RADIO Playlist: The Songs Of BOPPIN' (LIKE THE HIP FOLKS DO)

I've written about a number of albums over the years (especially when I was freelancing for Goldmine), but I've always been a single-song guy. Each of the tracks in today's fake playlist is an individual song that was the focus of a post right here at Boppin' (Like The Hip Folks Do). Most of them came from my Greatest Record Ever Made! series, though some were originally posted in some other series instead. The curious can follow links to read my original post about each song. Ready to bop? We've got some songs for you.

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.
