As I write this on Friday morning, I'm expecting to see the first copies of my new book Gabba Gabba Gabba Hey! A Conversation With The Ramones within less than a week. My first book, and it's an experience approaching vertigo. But exciting! There are a lot of things going on with that, and I'll detail the attendant hoopla as it occurs.
I don't think any of this happens for me without This Is Rock 'n' Roll Radio with Dana & Carl. This weekly show remains proudly 'n' giddily the best three hours of radio on the whole friggin' planet. Have a listen. Our vertigo is infectious, and you just might welcome its dizzying sense of rockin' pop possibilities. This is what rock 'n' roll radio sounded like on another 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, streaming at SPARK stream, and on the Radio Garden app as WESTCOTT RADIO. Recent shows are archived at 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.
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:
