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.
Here's the third of three imaginary playlists recreating the sequence of songs in my proposed book The Greatest Record Ever Made! (Volume 1). You can see Part One here, Part Two here, and here's a reprise of what we established when we started:
An infinite number of tracks can each be THE greatest record ever made, as long as they take turns.
That's been the mantra for my long-threatened book The Greatest Record Ever Made! (Volume 1). While that particular book still hasn't yet paved its own path to becoming real, my first book Gabba Gabba Hey! A Conversation With The Ramones has just been published, and I remain hopeful that one book can lead to another.
Currently, my GREM! document is going through a peer review; it is my good fortune that a friend of TIRnRR is an experienced copy editor and fluent in the history of pop music, able to offer corrections in both realms. His initial suggested edits have been welcome and helpful. And as he works through the project, I felt like slapping together a series of three fake TIRnRR playlists dedicated to the book's chosen tracks, in sequence.
The sequence itself isn't a revelation; you can see it as the Table of Contents within the GREM! link above, and the ToC has remained unchanged since its last update in February. I wanted to see how that sequence would play out as three weeks' worth of radio shows, supplemented with three sets of bonus tracks to fill out the third show.
We did a real-world GREM! show in 2021, offering excerpts of the proposed book's sequence as it stood at the time. Now, we'll take a peek at how the whole book would work as a series of radio shows. This glimpse at the infinite concludes today.
But--by definition--the infinite goes on...and on.
