This Is Rock 'n' Roll Radio # 1141

 

Listen: we're still exhausted from all the activity prepping our new compilation CD This Is Rock 'n' Roll Radio, Volume 5 for its hoped-for September release on Kool Kat Musik (mastered by the great Kurt Reil at his House Of Vibes studio). Of course, that doesn't mean we lacked the vim and the vigor required to deliver The Best Three Hours Of Radio On the Whole Friggin' Planet--that occurs naturally--but we don't have sufficient energy left over to shout at you about it. The playlist is gonna have to speak for itself.

As it does. Listen. 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 airs Sunday nights from 9 to Midnight Eastern, on the air in Syracuse at SPARK! WSPJ 103.3 and 93.7 FM, on the web at http://sparksyracuse.org/, and via the TuneIn Radio and Radio Garden apps as Westcott Radio.

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.
