This Is Rock 'n' Roll Radio 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.
Live music is best. Live music in a nightclub is the best of the best. Today's imaginary playlist slaps together tracks by performers I was fortunate enough to witness in a club setting. I've made a good-faith effort to limit the selections to songs each artist played in a club show I attended. I remind you that I am not under oath.
The list arbitrarily excludes acts I saw at coffee bars or in open-air venues. This one's about the specific feel of the club experience, as drinks flow and music plays. LOUD! Last call for the dance hall. Join the club.
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). 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:
PS: SEND MONEY!!!! We need tech upgrades like Elvis needs boats. Spark Syracuse is supported by listeners like you. Tax-deductible donations are welcome at
