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.
Pretty simple exercise in playlist imagineering this time out: songs with single-word titles. That's a pretty efficient way to kill three hours and call it a radio show, right?
For this one--ONE, get it? I slay me!--I avoided proper names and places, whether it was Bernadette or Galveston, Candy or Boston, Maybelline or Memphis. But I did allow a day of the week, a month of the year, and a Native American tribe, and didn't duplicate titles or artists. NB: "Dandy" is not a proper name. Still left plenty to choose from.
And, of course, we'll have a sequel to this soon: a two-word response.
What? No, not those two words. The FCC would never allow that!
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, streaming at SPARK stream, archived at Westcott Radio. You can read about our history here. 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:
