Tonight On THIS IS ROCK 'N' ROLL RADIO

POP MASTERS, the astounding new all-covers album from my favorite power pop group THE FLASHCUBES, is due from the ever-reliable BIG STIR RECORDS in less than a month. HuzZAH! To celebrate--as one oughtta!--we open tonight's show with the latest single from Pop Masters, as the 'Cubes annex the Motors' "Forget About You" and plant their Cubic flag forevermore. Later in the show, we'll circle back to one more Flashcubes tune, the only one of Pop Masters' twelve tracks we ain't played yet. In between, we have more new stuff from THE MIDNIGHT CALLERS, GRAHAM PARKER, THE SUMMERTIMES, sparkle*jets u.k., and SIR PRIZE AND THE TWOMORROW KNIGHTZ, all blended to jarringly serene perfection with old faves and relative newbies alike, courtesy of THE MIRACLES, THE HALF CUBES, LET'S ACTIVE, SAM PHILLIPS, BIG STAR, THE GRIP WEEDS, RONNIE SPECTOR, JIM BASNIGHT AND THE MOBERLYS, TAMMY AND THE LORDS OF MISRULE, JENSEN BELL, IGGY POP, IKE AND TINA TURNER, LOS LOBOS, SQUEEZE, and a farewell to the late BOB SEGARINI. PLUS! The LONG-overdue TIRnRR debut of a classic '60s rocker, singing their signature tune from 1968. And MORE!! We play the hits. This week, our hits start with THE FLASHCUBES! Sunday night, 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 Radio Garden and TuneIn Radio apps as WESTCOTT RADIO. The weekend stops HERE!
