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.
Today's exercise in playlist imagineering collects tracks from 45s I bought when I was a college student. These were all 7" slabs of vinyl I purchased in the period in between my initial onset of on-campus matriculatin' as a 17-year-old freshman in August of 1977 and grabbing my Bachelor of Arts degree in May of 1980 at the age of 20. Yeah, it was a four-year degree in three years. Musta had something do with the velocity of the music I preferred.
So here's a 45 rpm soundtrack to all that...studying. Yeah, studying. THAT'S what I was doing. Turn it up. Hunker down. These essays aren't going to write themselves.
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, and on the web at http://sparksyracuse.org/ 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).
